Hey guys
I've got back into playing RTW and decided to try my hand at modding it. Nothing too grand just give a few factions an extra unit or two and maybe come up with something special.
But I've run into a problem. Whenever I try and field a Thracian army with Peltasts in it the game will CTD without an explanation. I've not even edited greek_peltasts or modified anything about them in any shape or form. I can field whole armies of peltasts from the other greek factions without a problem but it seems Thrace has suddenly had enough of these javelin-throwing hillbillies .
The only editing I've done with Thrace so far is I've given them Hoplites and Ballistas. I've not used any custom .tga or .cas files and have been using only vanilla textures and models for new units. I've checked to make sure all the text files I've used are correct (in spelling and alignment where appropriate) and that all the .tga/.cas are where they should be. I'm also using the -mod:switch command and have all files backed up.
Running the game without using the modified files works fine but I can't work out what the hell is causing the CTD. Every other unit both old and new work fine but Thracian Peltasts want the day off. The only thing I've not tried is separating them from the "greek" pool and creating a new unit entirely.
If there's anyone still here that knows a thing or two about how to mod RTW I'd greatly appreciate any advice and can supply more information if needed. While I wouldn't say it's a major issue I would like to know whats causing it.
Thanks again for any help.
