PtW Units Problem

[Leo826]

I downloaded a ton of units for a mod I am making for PTW. That's all well and good.... but I dont know how to get the units to work in my mod pack. I got some help from somebody to actually get the game to recodnize the unit, but it wouldnt work in the game. When I went to build the unit or look at it in the city screen, a 'Load Error' would come up and the game would quit, saying that there is a missing PediaIcons file. However, I put the unit into the file anywhere I thought necessary. It still doesnt work. Please, if anyone knows how to do this, give me a step-by-step. Thank you very much.

Anyone?

I can help.

For adding new units to PTW, have a read of this:-

....and here is a guide by Colonel Kraken on how to add them to C3C (which is almost the same as adding them to PTW):-

These should get you sorted.

Thank you so much. This is a lifesaver. I've been spending a few weeks just trying to figure it out. Thanks again. This helps tremendously.

I've done everything that was in the step-by-step, but I am still getting the same kind of error. The 'load error' message talking about PediaIcons and "ANIMNAME..."
Any ideas of what it could be?

Here is what I'm using.... I'm using a Dragoon unit downloaded from CFC. However, I am using it in a LotR mod as a Rider of Rohan. I have renamed nothing. I've been entering all of the ANIMNAME stuff and Civlopedia stuff as Rider of Rohan. The .flc files are called Dragoon. Should I be entering the ANIMNAME as Dragoon instead of Rider of Rohan?

PediaIcons

You should name the ANIMNAME the same thing as the dragoon folder. If you add PRTO_Dragoon in the editor, then the folder must be named Dragoon, as well as the Dragoon.ini file.
In the pediaicons.txt you should add the ANIMNAME as Dragoon too.
Check the links Kryten gave again.

Perhaps you should specify the exact error the game is giving you, and what exactly you typed in for the Civilopedia entry for the unit in the editor.

Ok, this is the error I am having (below). I have changed everything from "Rider of Rohan" to "Dragoon". Everything that was in the step-by-step has been done, and I've kept everything as 'dragoon'. I am still having this error, though.

Notice the city The Shire. It's building Dragoon. When I zoom to the city to perhaps change production or whatever, this error comes up. On the turn when the unit is supposed to build (if I do not zoom to city) I get this error.

EDIT: BtW mrtn, I love those city graphics in your profile, they will go perfect in my scenario.

Mmmh, did you forget to add a pedia string to an unit ?
Check the "Civilopedia entry" for your units.

Pedia String?

 

[Leo826]

Nevermind.... I think I see whatcha mean. In the units tab of the editor, I forgot to put the civlopedia entry for it. Everything works, the unit works great. Thank you everybody for all of your help!
