View Full Version : Cannot change Unit Info-why?

I have a very strange problem never seen before. I have changed many Unit_Info and Units tga files quite often (with gimp f.e.) to give some units a picture more to my pleasure. But now I've met my master! I cannot replace the tga file for the celtic_infantry_uirodusios (that is the naked spear-wielding guy) for the Casse. I've already changed some other files in the data-UI-Unit_Info-Britons folder, without problems. But the old unchanged uirodusios file is every time back in the folder when I start EB. It must come from another place. It is also back in place when I have deleted the tga-file and not substituted by another file.

Does anybody know why and from where EB loads especially this file (same for Units)? Has it to do with the nakedness? (I use the original, naked version) Never tried to change Gaesatae till now.

You use the trivial script which copies that file (among others) too because of the modesty patch...

Thank you, Tellos. Can I change the script, so that it copies my version of the uirodusios tga file? Or better: from where does it copy it, so that I can exchange the tga file there? I've not found it yet. I presume it is not part of the EBBS script.

The trivial script uses an XML file called ebconfig.xml IIRC. AFAIK all that _you_ can change w.r.t how the Trivial Script works is found in there; I suggest digging through that file trying to find an element that describes where these files must be copied from.

And then of course change the file in that location.

change both of them in normal eb data folder and eb sp backup folder or smtg like that.
I changed descr_character file in both places to trigger my last mod for the same problem.

No, it is much easier. :2thumbsup:

I just changed the tga file in the EB-Modesty-Default-Unit_Info folder (or so). And -boings- I have my changed but still naked Uirodusios smiling at me from the Info Card.
