How do I give a new culture the white walls of the greeks?

[SubRosa]

I have created a new culture for the Amazons in Amazon: Total War, and I would like them to have the same white-washed stone walls that the Greek culture has for its entry-level stone wall. I mean on the battle map not the strat map. I have edited both descr_settlement_plan.txt and descr_walls.txt, adding the amazon culture name beside that of the greek in every instance of the ownership lines of buildings, like so:

wall
{
	culture greek amazon
	level 0 ; 2
	siege_tower_size small

But I still get the same generic grey stone walls.

Does anyone know what I am missing?

Tried adding a dbb_walls_amazon.txt (copy of the greek one) in the descr_building_battle folder, and updating the descr_building_battle.txt to include it?

I tried that too with no change.

Pack the desired texture into a mod pack file along the path of models_building\textures and then reference it in DBB.txt via the culture line.

That would be my first try. I've changed walls, and I've set up new cultures. But I've not done a new wall for a new culture ;)

Let me know how it goes.

Well I found one problem. I needed to put the mod folder for dbb_walls_amazon.txt in the "include" line in descr_building_battle.txt. Or so I think.

Now it is giving me a CTD on startup with an error message that it cannot find ambient amazon_city_wall_straight. I did a search through the game files for greek_city_wall_straight (which I am copying), and it only appears in two files: descr_walls.txt and dbb_walls_greek.txt. Furthermore it only appears in a single line in each file. I double-checked and confirmed that I have changed it to amazon_city_wall_straight in the same places of the relevant files.

I even took the extra step of misspelling it on purpose in descr_walls.txt, and the error message changed to reflect the new spelling. So clearly it is pulling the name from there and looking for it somewhere else. It should be looking in dbb_walls_amazon.txt. Why it is not finding it there is stumping me. I double-checked and my path statement in descr_building_battle.txt is correct. I even copy and pasted the folder and filename to be sure. If I take out the mod folder path then it starts without the CTD and error, but of course no white walls either.

Just for the record my mod folder is named "amazon" and the full line of code is:

include amazon/data/descr_building_battle/dbb_walls_amazon.txt

I think you just need it to say:

include dbb_walls_amazon.txt
