Unit art help!

[fuzzy_bunnies]

OK started this originally in the tutorial thread about getting unit art to show up... still can't get it to work. Someone suggested posting the built mod and the log file for review. I had a bunch of log errors but they were civilopedia entries which I fixed, log looks clean to me but all I stll see are spearmen!

For now I'm just using existing unitmember graphics until I can get this working so I don't have unit member or unit weapon tables.

Any help would be appreciated!

you need to update the database with the art info files. (and no need for VFS = true then)

beaten to it

Actually only z_UnitArtInfo.xml is the active one, the rest are using the old format, I just left them in there because I thought if this didn't work I'd go back to tinkering with the old format and separate files, sorry. I set them to not load. Is there anything in the other art info files that are absolutely required?

Remove the VFS=true for that one file and give it an OnModActivated -> UpdateDatabase entry and you get graphics for all your units.

It already is like that, and I don't see any graphics. I just tried deleting and re-adding it and still spearmen.... unless I"m looking in the wrong place or at the wrong file?

Did you check the reload unit art option in the mod options?

That did it, thanks! I was under the impression you only needed to do that if you had added new models or graphics to the game... guess I was mistaken
