ok, got away from the game for a bit, then i started playing again and modding a little...
i still mix up images and txt errors often enough...
i enabled druids for huns...and made chinglu shrine produce them...just to throw in an extra footunit for the faction...and well i think druids are just awesome...
they work fine in battle and campaign, but i mixed up images and stuff, just copying and pasting and renaming really.
now
a> their small unit card in the battle screen shows up green like the celts version of the unit, while all other units in the army of course have the normal hun color of the dark brown...
b> and the actual unit on the battlefield appears in blue colors like the britons...
c> the large unit card for the description on the campaign screen, well its stuck on the default peasant one, that's always a text error so i'll go back over that again and again to see which one i messed up...

anyway, a and b, i know, i must be possessed or deranged...can anyone help to advise me on how to fix the colors problem...

i remember i had this problem before when moving briton light and heavy chariots to the celt faction in BI, colors being off and all... the the .cas stuff, and the models_battle txt stuff i mess up often enough.
:wall:

also i'd like to move the look of the roman arcani, as i just like the way they look more than their BI counterpart unit...can anyone help to guide me with that?

If you haven't already read the Adding New Units tutorial:

The UI cards have to be individually remade, they won't automatically change colour. Have a look in the Huns unit folder in the data\UI folder, the units are referred to by dictionary name.


b> and the actual unit on the battlefield appears in blue colors like the britons...
That's most likely because it doesn't have a texture defined for the Hun faction in the model entry in descr_model_battle - the Briton is the default texture for the model.

c> the large unit card for the description on the campaign screen, well its stuck on the default peasant one, that's always a text error so i'll go back over that again and again to see which one i messed up...
You need to add the correct unit card to the data\UI in the Huns unit_info folder.
