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.
