Ghosts instead of added units.

[tsubame]

Hi all.

Sorry for the (likely) dumb question but I can't find a reply in the MTW2
already posted threads (apparently...).

I've modded the Venice faction to have Reiters, modifing the EDU, EDB,
and adding the files to have correct description and icon.
I've replaced the heavy horse with armoured horse.

Now happen that in the battles horses shows correctly (because they probably belongs to a venice unit too...) but the horseriders (Reiters) doesn't. They appears as ghosts. I can see the handgun, helmet, armor, face etc.etc. but they have no colors at all.
The same for the Forlorn Hope, to which I've changed nothing.
Which other file I've to amend to give a face to my ghosts ?

Thanks for replies if any.

Thanks for the reply Alpaca. I've already read that but still no way..
Maybe I make a mistake in creating the .bat file to enable unpacked files...

Sounds like you're missing textures for your model. If it works like in RTW, you could simply assign a texture from another faction for use by the faction you want to add the unit to. However, since CA decided to make things a lot more complicated by changing the format of the file that contains this ("battle_models.modeldb", unless I'm mistaken), it's not quite as simple in practice. You'll have to ask someone else about how to get that working, or experiment on your own.

I've read the way to mod the unit_modelsdb file. With the Reiters should be very easy, just to change hre into venice and 3 into 6. But still ghosts
instead of units. This is what make me to think is something about my way to creat the .bat file...
