Unit Info Card Mod

Yep definately save game compatible as i just checked, I know its a silly question but are you sure the old export_unit text file was replaced with the new one? remember I've only done ranged weapons so far so try looking at the unit card for the spendonetai or some other misslie troops.

Hey this is pretty cool! Looking forward to the later releases, thanks for creating it!

i'm afraid it hasn't worked for me either.
something else to add may be the actual values for moral?

I'm sure. The values for range and ammunition are in the export_unit that I'm currently using, but they don't show up if I play EB.
Could it be a problem with my 16:10 widescreenoption (I don't think so)?

I had the same problem as Zett and Miotas. Looked at akontistai, toxotai, cohors reformata, and scorpiones unit cards, no difference from before.

Which files are related to unit descrition? export_unit (there where the descrition stands), EDU (which assigns the descrition to the unit). Perhaps we have to change something in the EDU files?

Right, from what eveyone is saying it sounds like I was messing up with the unicode of the text file so I've put up hopefully a corrected version now.

@Zett the edu defines the internal name of the unit, which is then used to look up the description in export_unit.txt all I was changing essentially was the text in a unit description not their names. I recon its the unicode thing, if it still doen't work I'll be stumped :( but will ask around the modding forms for a answer.

Pehaps you are using BI.exe? In alex.exe (and RTW I suppose) there is no such section, as "description" in the unit card... Only "abilities at glance" are displayed

bobbin; I didn't look at the previous version, but this one works for me. Great idea for a mod.
Save game compatible; works on Rome.exe, BI.exe and Alex.exe just fine.
