That usually means the unit arit isnt linked correctly.

Yeah, CTDs like that are caused by an ART_DEFINE issue. We'll need more info to help you diagnose.

Are you sure that the knight should have samkni on the shadernif but not on the others?

The Cataphract looks okay to me. Can you attach the unit definition that uses it.

[Shade_89]

cataphract works
now just the samurai knight

 

[Shade_89]

all working thanks for all

I wish it would post an error or do the red blob thing when the art definition was bad. These CTD's because some city somewhere made a unit with the def wrong is a pain.

Hmmm - SimCutie posted a fix for something similar which might cover this as well. Check out this thread.
