What is harder and longer (nooo, no adult jokes). Reskin a unit or create one from scratch?
I always wanted to reskin and create my own units but im not sure if il be able to follow the steps

For anyone reading, don't use this template as of the date of this comment... for some reason having the template crashes the entire pfm when trying to input your varient mesh names for your unit in the tables... here is a link to do it manually it will save you hours of frustration https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGEFdzSi2-Y&t=1621s&ab_channel=BadLuckSoftware

What is it called in the data folder?

@Kodie38 thank you for the information. When I try to update the historical text by the exact reference: land_unit > historical.. > .._Long - the unit does not appear in the game. when I change the historical text without the exact reference: land_unit > historical... > unitname (without: .._Long) then the unit appears, but has no description at all. Maybe you know the problem?

Anyone know how to make the unit cards show up in the building information when you check tiers with a right click?

For anyone else struggling with updating your old unit mods or making new ones, the "historic texts" table is now an absolute requirement or the unit will not appear in the game.

Add in unit_description_historical_texts like any other table, make a new line for your unit. You can use your unit's name, "placeholder" or whatever. In your unit's land_units table "historical text (previously had no name/variable 11) must refer to an entry in unit_description_historical_texts.

That simple change fixed my 180+ unit mod. Cheers.

i cant find my units in game at all, I fallowed the tutorial too pls help

Got it working! thanks for the help

It worked except their meshes in the game are messed up. They are no longer invisible, but are grotesque skinny and their faces are glitching.

does this still work 2020

My units worked, but they were invisible

I've always loved this, it got me into unit creation for Rome 2. However, recently I got back into it and tried to make a new unit with this template and no dice.

I followed the instructions carefully and, while the game is working perfectly, I cannot seem to find my units in custom battles. I've checked through the DB and walkthrough to no avail. No typos, no missing data, nothing. Has something changed in the last patch that makes this template unusable?

First and foremost i'd like to say that your guide literally got me modding in Rome 2...created dozens of my own units. So thank you so much for that!

That being said, I have not played since august 2018...i see we are in a new patch now. Has the DB format changed? Thanks again for everything!

"updated to latest patch"

update...?

Aww. I was wrong, whenever I rename this packfile to use it. the modmanager says it is "out of date" and the game crashes when I use it :(

Thank you thank you thank you thank you...

I have modded TW games since the first Medieval or Rome, I can't remember anymore...
But for some reason, I always break something when I try and create my own template like this one for modding... I always end up taking a mod and modding it further.

Thanks to this, I can hope to make something of my own :) well... Almost ;)

man dude you have got to update this pack!/s

Thanks for this, I have learned a lot about modding.

Hi!

I came here because I saw your guide on how to make units! I've been trying to start of slow by making something I saw somewhere. I know this isn't really the place to ask for advice/help with something, but if you could give me some insight, it'd be greatly appreciated. I looked everywhere for the answer, but I couldn't find it. I was wondering if, when an armor was selected for a unit, it'd be possible to change that armor's color. I ask this because I'm trying to get a piece of armor that's bronze color by default to look more greyed, maybe iron. I'm not sure if this is possible, but in one mod I've seen, it looks like someone took a Hastati chest piece and greyed it down quite a bit for a Legionary Veteren mod. Again, I know this isn't really the place to ask, but if you'd be able to help me out with this thing, It'd be greatly appreciate.

Thank you so much in advanced!

Hmm, that's weird, I can have a look if you'd like? I'm not a great modder and it's been a while but I might be able to help

But for some reason, I cannot at more than just one at a time. I've been going through and trying to figure out how to do this.

@Metalbrigade definitely, there's a bunch of unit packs out there. It's been a little while since I've made anything (and I never made anything great) but it's definitely possible, based on the work done by others

Is it possible to add more than one custom unit at a time? I have three made, but I can only have one selected.

Fraser.Irvine97 I have the same problem D:

tthe TWeak.assemblykit just crashes when i try to open it. help anyone?

Is anyone else having problems with pack file manager with trying to get units to show up in their selected buildings. I miliatry grouping set up and my units set from lvl 1 greek heavy to lvl 5. But will not show up. Same with my other mod.

Just wanted to say thank you so much for making this template, Sebidee! This and your guide helped me immeasurably!

issuse fixed aprently mods cannot have the vinilla table in multiple mods as they will conflict. If their a way around. any idea

Hi a problem just started happing when trying to updated my nubia mod unit i added a chariot and horse but game would crash on load. So i opened mod manger and found the problem their are conflicting mods mount tables and mount varients. I renamed my mount table and varentis and added vinilla mount tables and varients still conflecting mod crashing the game. Any idea on what to do.

@Wendigo you need to do that yourself by opening CA pack and looking for data_rome2 and then looking for db and then "Bulding_units_allowed_tables" without quotes. Next extract only it and then get the directory and add it in using add directory make sure it is under db hopefully that explains it.

@Leeroy Jenkins no shit, in the least we're advertising Game of Thrones to Total War players by making fan content. Whats next, copyright on Fan theorys???

I bought Rome Total War II because on youtube I saw a game of thrones mod on it. I come and all of them are taken down and Atilla is spitting in my eyes. Wtf? I was playing with the Assembly kit and made a decent stark soldier and I was like "ay lmao not 2 bad maybe ill make a modpack." Dope.

Hello Sedibee, in the pack file manager, in the section db, I don't have the section "Bulding_units_allowed_tables", you know why ?

Even though no money is made by anyone involved with the mods, very dissapointed in companies that allow lawyers to strike down fan-content in this way.

The Game of Thrones mods being taken down are one of the reasons I hate lawyers..

They get taken down because of copyright reasons, literally the previous message on here...

where the fucking hell is game of thrones mods

I don't know for certain but it's probably a copyright issue to do with GoT. That'd be my guess on the matter.

All the game of thrones one look like there were taken down? Whats up with that?

if i upload my mod im willing to let you look at it :)
