Game crashes with roman centurion unit

[raider7656]

I tried to make a unit of roman centurions using the centurion model, but my game crashes every time. Is there something i need to do differently or does rtw just not allow for the centurion to be used as a unit.

Better post here the pieces of text you used, both in descr_model_battle and export_descr_unit, for the new unit.

Just in-case you've found a hard coded limit, do you know if you can definitely have:

stat_mental 120,
for the morale? It's higher than I've noticed being used elsewhere.

EDIT: as he was officer he probably only had primary weapon, you should only list a secondary weapon if the model actually has one (and if it does it needs additional skeleton in DMB as well) so you probably need to take the secondary weapon out of EDU make it

stat_sec 0, 0, no, 0, 0, no, no, no, none, 25 ,1
stat_sec_attr no

P.S. are you using -show_err, that should give error messages for some of that sort of thing...

[xerex]

I don't see anything obviously wrong in DMB, but EDU has a few suspect things that may be the source of your error.

Makanyane mentioned 2, but there are a couple others.

First, the primary weapon should not be ranged if the model does not have a secondary. You need secondary as Makanyane said, but you should also try making the primary weapon melee instead of ranged.

Second, if the lack of a melee weapon is not causing the problem, then you may want to remove either ap or thrown ap from the stat_pri_attr line. I don't think a weapon can be both ap and thrown ap.

Finally, you gave values for stat_sec_armour, but the unit doesn't have any seocndary creatures (elephants, dogs, etc.) with it. The game could ignore this or barf on it. I don't know.

hope that helps.
