Medieval 2 Total War Modding: How to add a unit from another mod

In this video I show how to add a unit from another mod including the mount and make it possible to recruit in the campaign.

I'm trying to import a unit from the M2TW Crusades but for some reason the game keeps crashing whenever I try to run a custom battle with the unit.

Hey. can you do modding guide who to add a new faction to the game ?

[@StalwartTirith]

What do you do if a unit you want to add has a new weapon? I'm trying to add Moon Guard from the Noldor of Eregion mod to DaC with AGO. I followed all the steps but it crashes when I try to launch the game, and I think it's because the Moon Guard have a weapon that isn't in DacAGO. Any help?

Great video, by the way. What is the program you seem to use to open the mesh files?

[@mothildarson3466]

Would you know how to set a unit's/general's battle model texture to one certain texture instead of it having variants? As in, killing the texture blender that creates a ranomized variety within a unit?

[@fynntotalwar1672]

You need to open the model with blender or milkshape and delete all the variations you dont like

[@wiglaf5640]

@@fynntotalwar1672 Can't you just open the texture files and edit them manually - deleting the variants by pasting a certain texture piece over the others?

[@fynntotalwar1672]

​@@wiglaf5640 it is more complicated you need to know the exact uv positions and copy paste the same variation over the others, but could be done especially for simple stuff. But as you want to get rid of every variation it would be way more work then just editing the model

[@wiglaf5640]

@@fynntotalwar1672 Yeah I figured. I've managed to get a single model without variation by simply deleting the other uv parts in the blender. I'm wondering though, since the blender uses .dae files, wouldn't it also be possible to combine the .dae meshes of two models by using the IWTE software to create new mesh-combinations? If this is possible, how would one texture this newly created model combination? Would you just have to add in a few lines in the MODELDB?

[@fynntotalwar1672]

@@wiglaf5640 Yeah that is the process known as kitbashing which is what most beginner med II modellers do, an excellent way to start. There is a video on the subject by Lerynian (Another AGO dev) kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmTNaodnibl8h7s
