Changing weapons

[jcd1993]

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!!!!!

[jcd1993]

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 ;)

[Makanyane]

in original file they have "and marian_reforms"
after them in EDB - does your version still have that?
if so see
http://www.twcenter.net/wiki/Marian_reforms
for details....

if it doesn't and its still not working... hmmm.. try maybe using a hidden resource with a name other than 'rome' I'm not sure if there is anything funny in hard code about that, but 'italy' as a resource has hardcoded stuff to do with the reforms and the Rome city/province name used to in early versions of RTW (map wouldn't load without them)

remember also if you added resources to descr_regions.txt you need to delete the map.rwm file for it to have any effect, and you'll also need to start a new campaign.

[jcd1993]

Come to think of it, originally the "roman legionary first cohort i" and "roman legionary first cohort ii" weren't even included in the EDB, so I added them in, here is what it was like after I added them in, I think it is right. I checked this file as I searched for how to train them, i.e controlling Rome, and once I had Rome I couldn't, :(. So essentially, if I add the new resource in (rome) in order to train them, I have to restart my campaign for it to have any effect whatsoever?

(this is only the roman section, i haven't changed anything else except for adding "rome" to the hidden resource thing at the top: "hidden_resources sparta rome")
