Trouble with units

[Conqistador]

Good night, gentlemen.

I took the road of adding a new unit to M2TWK, and i'm experiencing some trouble, either in the proccess of adding the unit and other things not so clearly related.

First, seems my model has some sort of problem making it always crash when i launch a custom battle. Already checked the paths in battle_models.modeldb and my export_descr_units seems to be ok, and still, i can't seem my unit ingame because it crashes just right after the loading bar of the custom battle finishes. I have tested the entries placing anotehr model in place of mine, and it just worked (with the textures i made and all, even with the uvws getting screwed), but when i switch to the model i've made, the game crashes, and i don't know what to do.

I'm attaching the model, textures and the text files, if it helps. And i'm using Bare Geomod as a base for my modifications.

The second, and much less important issue: Is there any step-by-step explanation on how to add description for new units along with new unit cards? In RTW1 this things used to be in de descr_units or smth like that. In M2TW, any leads on how is it done?

Thanks in advance, and please help me .

The only problem I can find with the model itself is in the comments of group spear02.
They are:

primaryactive1
spear02
0

I would have them:

primaryactive0
spear02
0

I doubt that this would cause your game to crash.

When you added the entry for your model in bmdb was it an additional entry or did you replace one of the entries that existed.
If it was an additional entry you would need to increase the serialization number in the first line of the bmdb.
Did you do that?

The current line is:

22 serialization::archive 3 0 0 0 0 702 0 0

Was it like that before you added your model entry?

I increased this count, i validated the file using the validator provided in the formatted files pack. I Will try to change the comment and post the result again here.

Well, changed the comment and still the game is crashing in the custom battle. There is no clue in the logs. paleologos, any chance you could test the model ingame?

If the model itself is in any way broken and everything else is fine then your custom battle will load and you will see the problematic results in the battle map.
The fact that the custom battle is not loading means you have text errors.
I have no idea what those may be.

Well it seems I was wrong!
The model was broken.
I don't know exactly what was wrong with it but I am guessing it had to do with the way/software it was converted to CA mesh.
Anyway, I have a working version now, took the liberty to fix the shield's UV mapping.
