question: saddle and testudo

hi barbarorum people.
as some of you already exhaustely noticed, i made some changes in EDU.TXT files, and after hundreds trys :juggle2: and desperate questions the to the forum, now it seems to work :yes: :2thumbsup:

BUT i noticed =>
=> about cavalry - that i cannot change 'medium horse' with 'saddle horse'. it crashes
=> about infantry - i cannot add 'testudo' attribute to the units that don't have it on default. i explain: when i play a battle, the 'testudo' icn appears on the unit screen. but when i order it, the soldiers start to prepare for testudo => get in formation, square themselves .., but just before putting their shields... :thumbsdown: the game does CTD. :oops:
i guess (guess) it is something that deals with the skins of the picture of the soldiers.
what to do????

"Medium horse" is in all other respects than appereance identical to "light saddle horse"; ditto for "heavy horse" and "heavy saddle horse". No "medium saddle horse" mount exists, so of course it's going to CTD - the file's trying to refer to a mount type which doesn't exist.

I'll repeat - there's no practical difference between the saddled horses and their un-saddled equivalents (as listed above). The effects are only visual. In other words, not worth the trouble.

Also, I understand the testudo only works with non-spear units. I've seen it stated it flat out CTDs with spear animation skeles.

Oh yeah. And I'm not quite sure every faction even has "saddle horse" skins allocated in the DMB, so you're also going to get CTDs if you change those mount allocations carelessly.

ok watchman, thanks for the answer.
i got that saddle or not saddle, the work is the same.
just a note: on EDU.TXT most opf the stesppes cavalries are 'medium horse'
and also unit 474 campanian cavalry. i changed it with saddle cavalry => when i saw it didn't work, i just came back to the good old oone.
