11 Holland Units

[Circuit]

Excellent! Very pretty! They would certainly stand out.

I've been making these units into a custom civ including buttons i'll upload when it is finished.

I am however stuck at the unit that replaces the Horsearcher.

I am using the original Horsearcher defines_unit to edit but it crashes when I want to add the unit using worldbuilder on the map. (unlike all the other units which work fine - inc buttons/animations)
I am using the Mercenaries module as buildingblock.

What am I doing wrong?

Am I supposed to use the cavalry define and edit that? (have not yet tried that)
What is making it choke, the other units still work.


*edit* It appears it uses it's own animation, should that be defined in another xml? I'm assuming it does.

crashes usually are due to you having a typo, i.e. the <Type>ART_DEF_UNIT_HORSEMAN_HOLLAND</Type> is different from the one you used in CIV4UnitArtStyleTypeInfos.xml and thus the art is not found.

I am using the Mercenaries module as buildingblock.

Assuming you copied over the kfm and its corresponding *.kf files, there should be nothing wrong (apart from my typo assumption).

Otherwise you should refer to <KFM>Art/Units/Charlemagne_LightCavalry/LightCavalry.kfm</KFM>. Referring to a non-existant kfm will not result in a crash though, so that should not be the issue, my bet still is on the typo.

I have triple checked everything and it looks ok.
I am now reinstalling a "clean" version because this happened after I installed bluemarble.

Deinstalling that didn't do the trick, so I decided to reinstall clean (and keep a copy of that on my hdd) and work my way up from there.

I'll post some info if I know more.
