mod unit

hi,
I used unpack and started to try to do some simple unit edit to start with.

I did a test, I try to add Dismounted_Gothic_Knights to French, the ui - ie unit card/infor -came out ok, I changed the export_descr_unit.txt file to add "france" to it, game loads ok, but on the battle field the soldiers didn't show up except the general himself. the fighting do happen though, the ememy just fight against a gosht opponent.

I tried to mod "battle_models.modeldb", I found the following part concerning the unit:

dismounted_gothic_knights 1 4 73 unit_models/_Units/LN_Gothic_RN_Plate/dismounted_gothic_knights_lod0.mesh 121 73 unit_models/_Units/LN_Gothic_RN_Plate/dismounted_gothic_knights_lod1.mesh 900 73 unit_models/_Units/LN_Gothic_RN_Plate/dismounted_gothic_knights_lod2.mesh 2500 73 unit_models/_Units/LN_Gothic_RN_Plate/dismounted_gothic_knights_lod3.mesh 6400 1 3 hre 77 unit_models/_Units/LN_Gothic_RN_Plate/textures/LN_gothic_RN_plate_hre.texture 80 unit_models/_Units/LN_Gothic_RN_Plate/textures/LN_gothic_RN_plate_normal.texture 53 unit_sprites/hre_Dismounted_Gothic_Knights_sprite.spr 1 3 hre 56 unit_models/AttachmentSets/Final Heater_hre_diff.texture 56 unit_models/AttachmentSets/Final Heater_hre_norm.texture 0 1 4 None 21 MTW2_Slow_2HSwordsman 0 1 24 MTW2_2HSwordsman_Primary 0 16 -0.090000004 0 0 -0.34999999 0.80000001 0.60000002 16

It is easy to tell the file structures, but I don't understand the numbers and others, could someone explain please?


also the textures, like "european_armoured_horse_venice.texture" - how do you or which program do you use to open them?

thanks

u said , u've unpacked.... what did u unpack? the PACK files? what program did u use??

it comes with the patch 1.1, but unpack is not very useful at the current time , as things we can change with 1.1 unpack dose not seem add any from what we've got from the .txt files earlier.
if you want to unpack, make a copy of your original data folder 1st.
good luck.
