How many units can be added?

[bjhleo]

I added about 50 units ..(or more)
Starting Game, and I try to open a city window, game just terminated..

Because of my insufficient system memory??

Do you mean you added 50 unit types (custom units) or added 50 starting units to a scenario? Or did you add the units using a trainer program?

 

[Wolfwood]

If you added the unit types into the .biq, using the edit program, make sure that you also added the necessary entries into the civilopedia and pediaicons files AND that you copied the unit graphics into the units32.pcx AND that you have the icons for the units in art/civilopedia/units/ folder AND that you actually have the unit flc's in their respective unit folders under art/units/ .

Also, remember that the units32.pcx should be in 256 colours and that you should not scramble the palette while you edit it.

I mean I added more than 50 new custom units to a scenario.

I also have the icons, entries, ..in their respective forder and files.

when I added 3 or 5 , It worked perfectly.
but more than 50 to a scenario, when I start the senario and try to open any city window(london , bejing , or whatever) the game is just terminated with no message.

so, I wonder it is problem with insufficient memory of my computer, or CFC have a limit
of number of custom units..

The is probably a total limit on number of unit types, but 50 isn't too many, I wouldn't think. I suggest that the crash is due to a unit not being added 'properly' => missing a pediaicons.txt error or a graphics error etc.

 

[Wolfwood]

Yes, I've added 80+ units with no problems. If I remember correctly, I've had some similar crashes due to incorrectly added units sometimes. Perhaps someone with more recent experiences with such will remember something, but, in the meanwhile, I recommend that you recheck all of the units that you have added.

 

[bjhleo]

totally 119 new units..


i counted it.

and ploblem is accured only when i try to open city window..

in the field i can see all units works perfectly.

 

[bjhleo]

summing up units cfc aleady have, the total number of units is over 200...

 

[ainwood]

Well, it only matters if those units are actually in the game, and the limit is hard-coded (it simply won't let you add too many).

Is there a limit to the amount of units you can have in PTW 1.29f ? And if there is what's the limit?

This place was a hive of activity when i made my first post so where is everybody gone. I am creating a scenario and i would love to know the answers to my questions.

 

[Russ3Z]

If you look under the help files of the Conquests editor, there is an entry about this, the max number of units is 256.

Is this the same for PTW?
