ok, so i made a new faction in early following starkhorne's guide, worked great, great stuff, when i was a few decades into the campaign i noticed something...
...
dealing with a previous mod i tried out, i had only enabled the swiss in all 3 time periods, copying the appropriate files and such and moving them nicely into high and early...
this has worked great, played around with their faction behavior stuff and all,
the swiss faction leader unit being the swiss armoured pikemen...
...anyway with the 1st campaign with the new mod including the new faction, the swiss had not moved from switzerland, never paid them much attention, as i was rushing through really, and kinda trying to get a grasp of the other faction's behaviors if i sat around....but when i had checked them, the AI had been assigning them mere archer units i believe as their royalty, and i didnt understand this as it wasnt so in my other mod without a new faction, so i went through with Gnome to assure swiss would produce armoured pikemen as royalty, and since the early time period worked before for them, and i had not altered the swiss in any way from working in previous mod to working in mod with a new faction, i thought it would be fine...
after i did this, i was unable to even load the mod, getting error...unknown unit type, column 2 row 76 750...
even when i went back and erased it from the new faction mod's crusaderunit and replaced it with the one from my other mod which is what it was all copied from in the 1st place, i get same error...
does anyone know anything about this? sorry all this was so long, just an odd problem, mod worked fine with swiss in early until i did something to get swiss armoured pikemen to work for the royalty like it was working in the other mod...thanx peeps... http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/gc-wall.gif

grr, that blasted
unknown unit type encountered column 2 row 76 750
error is preventing me from going back into the campaign, i just dont see what i changed that did it, and i dont see why the swiss were not using them as royalty as they should have... http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/frown.gif

hmmm strange.....the 750 is very strange. The only thing I can think of is that the value of row 76 column 3 is actually 750 which appears in your error message, so perhaps the row got corrupted somehow.

Open the unit file with wordpad. Do a seach for SwissArmouredPikeMan
Check the space between INTRANTRY and 750. Ensure it's a space created by the TAB button and not spaces.

hope that helps.

ok, so the spacing wasnt an issue,
so what i have is that everything works fine save one thing...in gnome column 49...the faction leader stuff, the game is refusing to recognize FN_FREE21 there, but when this is removed my new faction works fine but with highland clansmen as leader, i dont know how i messed that up???

so, seems i just have to figure out how to get FN_FREE21 entered into the faction leader slot...its gotta be a simple error really...as it worked initially
i figure the same thing was happening when i was trying to add the swiss unit leader over top of the previous mod...
let me know if any idea sprouts...

oh blah, sorry starkhorne, spent a couple of hours, missed something, hopefully something simple...
cant figure out why everything works except the FN_FREE21 leader thing...
feel free to hit up my messenger thing here if need be, hope that not too many others run into this particular issue, blah
blah, i'll give it another look in morning...

What do you mean it isn't accepted ? What error are you getting and where and when ?

How about actually posting the contents of the specific entry that are causing problems.

ok...everything works fine if i have not entered FN_FREE21 into the CrusaderUnit or CrusaderBuild thing...
so the campaign is working save for the fact i have highlanders as my royal unit...
...even the swiss in early have their armoured pikemen as royalty...
when i try altering this to make a royal unit for FREE21, i get one of the errors mentioned before, and if playing around with it, if the FN_FREE21 is anywhere i stuck it in these 2 files, then i get different 'row...column' errors...
does that help?
let me know, i'll add in more detail, but really, all is well as i can see, adding a royal unit to the new faction i made is the only thing that causes errors and crashes the game before it loads...
