Where do you find the battle_models.modelsdb?

@Arron Swan
Should be in your data\unit_models directory.
The vanilla version doesn't have line breaks
in it so it's hard to read. A formatted vanilla
version is available here:

I tried adding the Dismounted Quapukulu, but it's not working.

You're posting a modding question in a research wiki thread.
A more appropriate forum would be to repost in modding questions.
Please include more information about the nature of your problem,
do you get a black screen on loading?, a splash screen and then
a CTD? Post info on your modeldb entry as well as EDU entries so
people can have a better chance of helping you. Sorry, best help
I can give you at present.

I downloaded the editor and am having some trouble. I've been trying to change the dismounted druzhina to use a sword and heater instead of an axe and round shield.

I converted both these meshes to ms3d.

dismounted_feudal_knights_lod0.mesh
dismounted_druchima_lod0.mesh

Opened the feudal knight in ms3d, hid all the shield and sword meshes in the groups tab. Clicked select vertex (unchecked hide backfaces), dragged a box over the model and deleted. Un-hid all. Saved the ms3d file.

Opened the druchima is ms3d. Hid all the NON axe and NON shield meshes, clicked select vertex (unchecked hide backfaces), dragged a box over the remaining model (axe and shield) and deleted. Un-hid all.

Clicked file > merge > dismounted_feudal_knights_lod0.ms3d.

Saved the ms3d file. Converted it with the converter to a .mesh and placed it into the system.

This is what I see in-game.

Any

would be appreciated.

Cheers
