new units

[sprucemoose]

I was wondering which file/files i need to change for the unit on the battlefield.
i have altered a unit of gothic footknight and the on battlefield picture is messed up,on close up it looks like the are walking and one half of them disapears.(i just copied and renamed all the ones i could find).

any ideas o great modders??

cheers

Look for the sticky on the top of the page. The name of the post is "Help me with creating units". This post has a very huge "indetail" discription of how to create new units. Check out that post. It should help.

You used the wrong actionpage.

But I'm not sure how you have changed things.

This does not really tell me much . http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/frown.gif

How did you alter them .
Did you add another?
Did you change the graphic?
Did you change any files in \textures\men?
Did you alter the unit_prod11.txt?

Did you read the sticky ? http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

sorry Krazy for being vague

i copied all references to gothic footknights(textures etc) and put them back under the new unit name i only modded the unit prod file,thats why i cant understand why the on battlefield sprites cocked up.The unit works fine,no errors or crashes its just the on screen unit is messed up.

p.s yes i did use the "Help me with creating units".post.

cheers

I am sure you have to edit more than just the file you edited. Actually I am not sure. I figured that the sticky would help though.

unit prod
campmap\info_pics\units
campmap\review_panels\units
battle\uniticons
textures\men\actionpage
Loc\eng\ names.txt and descriptions.txt
(both need an entry for you unit.
In the names it will need a singular
and plural entry)


So just do these files first and see how you get on.
