Rhodian Skin Cannot Be Found Crash

[antisocialmunky]

I've run into a slight problem when trying to play with the MP edu. It keeps popping up with this in reference to Rhodian Slingers. I've seen them for other factions but whenever I try to load the AS ones, I get something along the lines of 'ebhellenistic_aymar_regional_skin.tga' not found. :idea2:

have you tried the eb validation tool? sounds like its a corrupt install, my bet is you´ll have to reinstall it, but try the eb validation tool first is my advice.

Nah, it's a minor mistake in the DMB. ATM it reads
type african_missile_african_iberian_rhodian_slingers
skeleton fs_slinger, fs_slinger
indiv_range 40
---
texture numidia, eb/data/models_unit/textures/hellenistic/ebhellenistic_infantry_rhodian_slingers_aymar_regional.TGA
texture romans_julii, eb/data/models_unit/textures/roman/ebhellenistic_infantry_rhodian_slingers_aymar_regional.TGA
texture carthage, eb/data/models_unit/textures/hellenistic/ebhellenistic_infantry_rhodian_slingers_aymar_regional.TGA
---when what it should read is
type african_missile_african_iberian_rhodian_slingers
skeleton fs_slinger, fs_slinger
indiv_range 40
---
texture numidia, eb/data/models_unit/textures/hellenistic/ebhellenistic_infantry_rhodian_slingers_aymar_regional.TGA
texture romans_julii, eb/data/models_unit/textures/hellenistic/ebhellenistic_infantry_rhodian_slingers_aymar_regional.TGA
texture carthage, eb/data/models_unit/textures/hellenistic/ebhellenistic_infantry_rhodian_slingers_aymar_regional.TGA
---...although the fact the unit doesn't have a sprite in yet may also be involved (should just make them disappear or go grey-peasant or somesuch when you zoom far away enough though...).

[Tellos Athenaios]

Check if the sprite is properly spelled as well. It should be [something]/greek/[more_stuff].spr

Though the fact that the Rhodian slinger simply does not have sprites makes this a bit of a moot point.

What is important, though, is that the Rhodian slinger is now more or less bound to cause a crash at the first loading attempt of some battle involving them. This crash should not be repeatable for each individual battle; though - meaning: save your game before entering a battle with/against Rhodian slingers. If you do not crash: you are lucky; if you don't: no worries, just reload the game and try again - it should work then.

Yeah, there's a faulty sprite folder assignement with the Romans;
model_sprite numidia, 60.0, eb/data/sprites/greek/ebsprite_rhodian_slingers_all.spr
model_sprite seleucid, 60.0, eb/data/sprites/roman/ebsprite_rhodian_slingers_all.spr
model_sprite carthage, 60.0, eb/data/sprites/greek/ebsprite_rhodian_slingers_all.sprrather than
model_sprite numidia, 60.0, eb/data/sprites/greek/ebsprite_rhodian_slingers_all.spr
model_sprite seleucid, 60.0, eb/data/sprites/greek/ebsprite_rhodian_slingers_all.spr
model_sprite carthage, 60.0, eb/data/sprites/greek/ebsprite_rhodian_slingers_all.spr...but I figured posting that would've been a little on the pointless side since the sprites don't exist in the first place, and the appropriate fixing can presumably be done if and when those get put in.

[bovi]

This is clearly material for a hotfix release, or a stickied fix like the ones I've done previously.

[Tellos Athenaios]

@Bovi: the fix is already, ready made. Just make sure to delete the dmb from the following archive (found in Bonny's uploads in the private section of the FTP) sprites_new.rar. When done, could you put it in the public section of the FTP for download?

[bovi]

I'll do that right now, taking Redmeth's DMB change with it, which I presume covers what Watchman says here.

[Watchman]

Yeah, Redmeth Da Man committed the fix a while ago.
