Warhammer; Total War / Re: WHTW Bugfix Patch Released

« on: February 27, 2017, 07:07:41 AM »

Hi Guys,
I've only just discovered this mod after not getting the official CA / GW Warhammer to workon my laptop and got to say well done,
I've been getting crashes before battles with Chaos and by the looks of it so has a lot of others.
I;m not sure if anyone is still getting this issue or whether it's already sorted, but it seems to be a problem with the skins of the Chaos General.
If you go into the desc_model_battle.txt file and replace the Chaos general with the lessor general the game will work

It's at the bottom of the file and reads;
type            celt_general
skeleton         fs_swordsman
skeleton_horse      fs_hc_swordsman   
skeleton_elephant   fs_forest_elephant_rider
skeleton_chariot   fs_chariot_sword
skeleton_camel      fs_hc_swordsman
skeleton_scorpion_cart   fs_carriage_ballistae_crew
indiv_range         40
texture            gauls, WHTW/data/models_unit/textures/WHTW_CHAOS_GENERAL.TGA         
texture            britons, data/models_unit/textures/officer_barb_general_briton.tga      
;texture            spain, WHTW/data/models_unit/textures/WHTW_CHAOS_GENERAL.tga         ;SHOULD USE CARTHAGINIAN NOW?
model_flexi      WHTW/data/models_unit/WHTW_CHAOS_GENERAL_high.CAS, max
;model_flexi      data/models_unit/officer_barb_general_med.CAS, 15
;model_flexi         data/models_unit/officer_barb_general_low.CAS, 30
;model_flexi         data/models_unit/officer_barb_general_lowest.CAS, max
;model_sprite      60.0, data/sprites/celt_general_sprite.spr
model_tri         400, 0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5


Copy this and save it somewhere, incase the problem is fixed at some point.

Then delete from the second line. So below
type            celt_general

and replace it with the text from below the Celt lessor general.

Your Chaos general will look like a lessor general, who still looks bad ass, but the game will play.

Hope this helps anyone who is still playing and having problems.

And thanks JB for a great Mod.
