(Solved)Trying to port items and textures from 1 mod to another.

[reaver456]

Ive been trying to port Highlander items from the "Wedding Dance" mod to "Prophecy of Pendor" (This is just for my personal use)

After porting the item's meshes and textures I found that my game would crash every time I enter a battle with the new units I created.

After many hours of messing with this I figured out something. In the item_kinds file If I removed the reference to the items holster or quiver I could have a crash free game. Here the item kind text code for the two weapons that were causing the crash

When I removed the part of the code highlighted in red that makes reference to the weapons holster graphic my game went crash free but now I have this problem. Weapons are now appearing invisible like this

Seems that adding the reference to the weapons holster in the item_kinds file cause my game to crash on battle start. But If I remove it I can start battles but the weapons apprear invisible. Seems weapons holster graphics might be causing the problem. THe quiver and holster mesh have mutliple frames on them I noticed that. Is there something special I haft to do when adding the meshes of weapon holsters and quivers to the game? 

Below are some pics of the weapons holster and quiver im trying to add to the game

and that one goes on but you get the idea

Any idea why holster graphics would cause the game to crash on battle start and how I can include it with out making the game crash?

I'm new and inexperienced in modding and this is one of my first attempts. Also the "Highlander" unit from the "Wedding Dance" was one of the most memorable units ive played with and would love to port it in the mod im currently playing.

Each alternate mesh has a set of flags which dictate when the game will use them. You've removed the mesh reference, but not the number (2) which tells the game engine how many mesh entries to expect and its flag.

Which numbers are you refering too? The ones in the item kind text? If the (2) you refer to what I highlighted in blue? Do I need to change that number depending on how many frames the mesh has?
