Changing weapons

[jcd1993]

Right, got all the textures sorted! Now im onto the weapons, i have a feeling i know what im doing as im using a tutorial, but i am going to import the model with the weapon i want, delete the model, then assign the weapon to the current model, i think it will work but i guess we will have to wait and see, thanks for all your help. :)

Rather than deleting everything but the model, just select the weapon you want, click on File, go down to Save Selected. That allows you to save only the item you have selected.

Ah great, that was so much simpler than what i was trying to do , my thanks to everyone for all your help! :)

GAH! I have run into a problem, I have made a new legionary spearman unit, however the game crashes when one of them dies in melee combat, I really don't know what the problem is as the spartans i made previously work fine, and i did a test where i killed the spearmen from range, and that didn't cause a crash. I will post all the code i have used incase anyone spots an error or if there is something i have missed that i need to do.

¬----------------

{roman_legionary_spearman} Legionary Spearman Cohort

{roman_legionary_spearman_descr}
These Legionaries are trained with spears in order to assist their bladed comrades against cavalry attacks.

{roman_legionary_spearman_descr_short}
A great counterpart to the standard Legionary, able to fend off the most devastating of cavalry charges

¬----------------

CAS file, it is just called AAA_LEGIONARY_SPEARMAN

I think the problem lies with one of the death animations, although i have no idea how to go about fixing this. thanks

it's probably not the dieing bit - its probably when it tries to switch to secondary weapon in melee, you've got primary and secondary weapon in EDU

stat_health 1, 0
stat_pri 11, 15, no, 0, 0, melee, blade, piercing, spear, 25 ,1
stat_pri_attr ap
stat_sec 9, 11, no, 0, 0, melee, blade, piercing, sword, 25 ,1
stat_sec_attr ap

but only one skeleton type in DMB - if you meant it to have primary and secondary weapons DMB should say

skeleton			fs_spearman, fs_swordsman

or similar

if its meant to only have spear then the bold line in EDU is wrong

what has the model actually got in terms of weapons now?

[jcd1993]

AHHH! that would make sense :), he currently has the triarii spear as primary instead of the standard pila, pilum (?), and the standard gladius that comes with the legionary model, great, i will go and change that now, see if it works. THANKS!!!!!

Right, you guys have been more than helpful :), however i have run into yet another problem, although this is unrelated to the new units i have made. The Legionary First Cohort and Legionary First Early Cohort are the problem, i didnt know how to train them at all, until recently, then i found out that Rome was needed, well, i conquered Rome, and still couldnt train them, so i decided to look in the descr_buildings file, as i am getting used to all those things, and the "hidden_resource rome" wasn't on either of them, and rome wasnt listed as a hidden resource at the top of the file, so i added rome to the top of the file, and "and hidden_resource rome" after the cohorts, AND "rome" in the resources section of what each province contains, and i am still unable to train them. I really dont know what to do, as i have looked at the "adding resources" thread and followed everything that it said but to no avail. I dont know if its because the latest patch is needed or anything else, but i know i can count on you guys ;)
