I've been trying to extract a cannon from both Blue and Gray, and the original Civil War mod. I seem to be getting all the tags in- collections, projectiles, objects etc., the unit appears in loathing fine, but any map I run with it crashes. Does anyone know what this problem is, how i could fix it, or where I could just download a working version of one of those cannons. I actually prefer the original one for the purposes of my project.
any ideas?
Cannon Unit
Go back into Loathing let it crash, then look at your Myth log.
It will give you a four letter header, and a tag type. Go into the folder you got the cannon tags from, go into the clarified tag type folder, then attempt to find the tag with a name that primarily uses the header Characters.
For example
cannon ball crazy shot
that tag would be named cbcs.
The difficultly is in finding the tags which aren't four part names, but the header should still be similar to the tag name.
Once you find the mentioned Tags try loathing again. If it crashes again look again in your Myth Log. When this happens it means the new tag/s you got first time is also linked to something you missed.
Continue this cycle until Loathing works. Now if Myth refuses to let you play the map check the Myth Log again (Loathing doesn't need all the tags to let you place a unit on a map, but Myth needs them all to let you play it).

Horus has the right idea going there: let Myth crash then check the Myth.log (if it crashes in Loathing or Myth, the problem should be recorded in the log). There could be several reasons why it is crashing and your best tool to figure it out is the myth log.
If you look in the log and can't figure out what's wrong, post the log here and why can help.

I've sorted the tags out for you. You can get the B&G Cannon from HERE!

For future reference, the easiest way to extract a unit from a plugin is with Chaos.
Then you don't have to worry about missing a tag.

if one does not learn from the failings of the past they are likely to suffer its return.
Maybe I would do that if it worked with mac os 10.1TarousZars wrote:For future reference, the easiest way to extract a unit from a plugin is with Chaos.
