    Default Can't get EB to work with BI

    I have 1.6 and EB 1.0 (fresh install, not over .81av2) and downloaded Watchman's mod and changed my EB desktop shortcut to say "RTW-BI.exe" rather than "RTW.exe". However, when I try to start the game, it CTDs and says:

    "Script Error in eb/data/export_descr_unit.txt, at line 850, column 24. Could not find soldier battle model for unit type 'yubtseb elephant gnitekram'."

    i think the current version of watchmans mod is not compatible with EB1.0.

    It sure as heck isn't. I mean, even the name of the zip says it's for 0.81aV2...

    Mind you, I should probably delete that old thing now that you mention it.

    Oh right, so do I just change the address of the shortcut in a clean 1.0 build and then that's it?

    I suggest you read the responses above again. Watchman's mod won't work regardless of which shortcut you use.

    Having problems getting EB2 to run? Try these solutions.

    I do NOT answer PM requests for help with EB. Ask in a new help thread in the tech help forum.

    What with way more incompatible file entries and whatnot than I want to even try thinking about.

    If your intention is to play EB1.0 with Bi.exe, please look at the post from ravenfeeder here:
