Tools: Unit and Building Editors: Caligula & Hadrian

**GodsPetMonkey** · 01-01-2005, 05:28

A new year, and a new revision of Caligula!

This time arround, its all about the batch processing, being not all pleased with the bloated, messy, and hard to work with original, I rewrote it from scratch, and now its much nicer!

I also included a new change (that prompted my rewriting in the first place), selecting the attribute to search by. I only added one new option, "Class" (to "Type", which is what its been on all along). Class is the attribute that provides a broad description of the units role, like light, heavy and missile. Its not the same as category, although it has a similarish role.
This is more or less the next step for this particular feature, I want to expand the search part of it, even be able to stack different searches together (eg. All light infantry built by the greeks) but that may be some time off, I have put alot of thought into how to do it, but most of the ideas I have had have either been to grand, or just wont work.
Its all about making large scale changes much easier, rather then a tool that just allows addind and editing one unit at a time.

Salve GPM,

Hadrian v0.4.4... the link on page 1 appears to be broken...

Vale, Dux of Earl

Sigh, this is the second time I have done that.

Thanks for pointing it out, should be fixed now.

2 new versions, 2 new guides, and 1 new main post! I have been a busy boy.

As promised, I expanded the batch processing in Caligula, and redid the add new units functionality (much easier to use now!) which is also the topic of a new guide!

I have also uploaded a new version of Hadrian, just some bug fixes, and a guide for the adding of units to buildings, a very popular question, and I'm sick of emailing people the steps, so now you will just get the URL

I also finally redid the main post in this thread, the old one was stale, and very outdated.

Hi, my first post here, Godpetmonkey the editors are great, i've read through this entire post, and somebody else mentioned this, they said that they have the peasant for the unit card on their new units, and you replied by linking to another thread, i've read that guide, did exactly that, unpacked the pack folder, then created the UI folder in the data folder, then created UNITS and UNIT_INFO folder copied the TGA's for the greek hoplite elite to the new folder under the folder ROMANS_BRUTII in UNITS and UNIT_INFO. Ok problem is i got the unit info card to work, but not the actual unit icon button. When i go to recruit it the button is still a peasant. I made sure i copied the correct files, GREEK_HOPLITE_ELITE_INFO.TGA is in the unit_info/roman_brutii folder. And the #GREEK_HOPLITE_ELITE.TGA is in the unit/roman/brutii folder. The unit info works but not the actual unit button. I'm not sure what or where i screwed up. Please help

thanks

scott

You on the right track, just looks like your at the wrong station

Ok, first of all, lets get your folders in order (its been a while since I have done this, but it should be right).
For the Brutii, we should have 2 folders.. from the root RTW directory -
Data\UI\UNITS\ROMANS_BRUTII
Data\UI\UNIT_INFO\ROMANS_BRUTII
As long as the files are named right, and in the right directory, it should all go fine. So make sure your spelling is correct! (and I know all to well how easy it is to make a small typo and not notice)

Now, it seems as if you got your UNIT_INFO set up going fine, and as far as I can tell the directories are good for the normal unit card as well, but you say

And the #GREEK_HOPLITE_ELITE.TGA is in the unit/roman/brutii folder

This could be a typo (quite easily). If not, then its your cause!

If everything seems right but still nothing is going, then do what I did when I first set up my UI. You say you have unpacked the UI pak, and hopefully you haven't deleted it. Now, go to where you unpacked it, select the base UI folder, and move it to your RTW/data folder. This way it will move all the UI folder into the correct positions to be used by RTW (and set up a working directory structure). Try again to copy the files into the right directories, and away we go.

If all of that fails.... hmmmm, something is up. Post again and we shall delve deeper!
