Adding a Unit into Vanilla- CTD

[Novellus]

Greetings Modding Community,

I am Novellus. Today, I have spent several hours attempting to take a Vanilla RTW unit and change it into a unit from another mod (a Thorakitai Hoplitai unit from the Europa Barbarorum mod). It did not work.

So I then attempted to create a new unit, by modifying the EDU file and following the process that was in "Tutorial: Adding new units for beginners" post, which was very useful.

In the end, I was able to have a recruitable Thorakite Hoplite, but it was not playable. By this, I mean that there was a CTD whenever it loaded up for a custom battle. Everything else was fine.

Here are the file names of the Europa Barbarorum models and textures:

Anyway, I have browsed the forums, hoping that I wouldn't have to resort to posting and wasting the valuable time of modders who actually know what they're doing. It is just bothering me at the moment how the EB Team is able to have the unit function properly when in the game, and I cannot get it to work outside of it in Vanilla RTW.

Thank you. I hope I have enough information here for someone to see any errors that can be fixed on the spot.

Are you using -show_err? If no, use it. If yes, is there an error message and what does it say?
