[UNIT] Redcoat 23rd-foot

Buddy3101 · Oct 17, 2008

Unfortunately I do not know where the error is. The best is like Chuggi has already mentioned that you post all the modified sections of XML in code tags..

Perhaps there is someone other who use the unit with the AODII Mod too. I don't use the unit in the AODII Mod. :blush:

Thanks...I'll post it the XML clips next week. I'm mouring the loss of my dog who died this morning. :cry:

Ok...tried to add this unit to Age of Discovery II - which shouldn't be a problem as far as I can tell - and it crashes the game. I open up WB and try to add a british regular to the field to see if it shows up and I get an immediate CTD.

I DL'd the file, unzipped, any reason why this is named rotrock as opposed to UK_redcoat? Anyway, plopped this file down in the \Mods\AgeOfDiscoveryII\Assets\Art\Units directory with the other 'added' units. I then did as Buddy3101 stated by editing each file as shown in the list. Since I didn't see a single mention of rotrock, I suspected my first CTD was due to this, but I was wrong. I renamed the unit DIR from rotrock to UK_redcoat and restarted. Same thing. Any idea on what I'm doing wrong here? Am I supposed to be putting this unit in the main art\unit dir?

Just noticed in WB, the british version of this is called 'british regular' instead of regular...so in a way, there are 2 regulars in the WB now.

Careful of the xml. I've added some new tags to some of those files.

if you want you can use the unit in your mod Dale. Then it is easy for everyone to have the unit ...

As long as every nation's REF has a unique graphic, then yeah I'll use it.

Thanks...it's gonna be a bad month. :sad:

Anyway, I tried to add the unit again to AoDII and again it bombed badly. No errors, just immediate CTD. Here's what I did.
1) renamed the folder from rotrock (?) to UK_Redcoat.
2) moved the folder and contents to C:\games\C4 Colonization\Mods\AgeOfDiscoveryII\Assets\Art\Units
3) edited the "CIV4ArtDefines_Unit" and made this the first entry in this file:

Spoiler :

4) edited the CIV4UnitInfos.xml, again making this the first entry in the file.

Spoiler :

5) edited the CIV4CivilizationInfos.xml, only making an entry for the CIVILIZATION_ENGLAND_EUROPE

Spoiler :

I'm at my wits end with this. I truly TRULY hate C4's way of adding units to it. I had no problems adding units to C3...added tons of them but can't get a bloody one to work for C4. :mad:

Any ideas? I'm at the point that I'd happily zip up the files and folders for someone to look over.

I corrected that line in the file, haven't the foggiest how it was missed seeing as I simply did a 'cut and paste' but that didn't fix it. I still CTD as soon as I select the unit from within WB.

Dale · Oct 23, 2008

hmm..... it's my experience from Civ4 that if it CTD's on selection of the unit within WB, that it's going to be an art issue (missing file, pointing to wrong file).

From main menu Pedia can you open the entry for the unit without a crash?

Shadow_AUT · Oct 24, 2008

mhm I have the Problems too with the unit, it doesn't want to work, CTD's at init of xml's or CTD's in world builder when I want to put the unit on the map

EDIT:

Now I simply changed regulars to be redcoats, they are shown in civilopedia correctly, but if you put them into map with world builder, they are using models from the standart regulars, REALLY weird thing +lol+

Shadow_AUT · Oct 24, 2008

mhm ok it works, thanks for your interesting posts, helped me to get it work

Buddy3101 · Oct 24, 2008

I have made a litte MOD for those who have problems getting the unit work. It's only a simple MOD containing the unit. You can download the Mod from the Database.

I hope I can help some of you to use the unit too

Thanks for the mod :goodjob:

Buddy3101 · Oct 24, 2008

no problem

GeoModder · Nov 1, 2008

Buddy3101, I have a slight problem when incorporating your little mod in Dale's patch (vs 1.03, not the PatchMod vs 1.07 from Dale&Snoopy).

I'm playing as the French colonies, I've put a regular soldier (blue uniformed and all) on the map by worldbuilder, and settled it in a city. Now, when I bring it out of the city again as a soldier, it uses your UK_Redcoat graphic.

Bisonte · Nov 1, 2008

/OT on
I read often this "CTD" what is the meaning of it ? (sry for asking... but english is not my native language

)
OT off/

Chuggi · Nov 2, 2008

CTD = Crash to Desktop.

It shouldn't crash using the modification buddy made for it though (download is about 5 posts up).

thx. (i know the syntax: BTW = Back to Windows.... the same thing, just other words

)

Buddy3101 · Nov 2, 2008

Hi GeoModder, sorry I don't know how to use the Unit in the AODII MOD, this MOD is a "StandAloneMoD".
I think it doesn't work whit AODII because Dale has added some new tags to some files in the AODII Mod. :confused:
