I didn't add anything new, I just edited existing mercenaries but I did change the names of the existing mercenaries.
Thanks for the help by the way.
I have done both.
When making new troops I copy (from the troops text file) the trooper I want and paste his stuff at the bottom. I then open the editor and the editor will say what you posted above, but when I click OK it adds the new troop number to my new troop. I then edit my trooper and click "update" and then "save". Works for me every time.
My exact steps for a new troop are:
1) Open the troops.txt file with notepad.
2) Select the blank spot above the troop I want to copy and copy everything to the blank spot below the troop.
3) Paste the copy at the bottom of the page as many times as I want.
4) Save the file and open the troop editor.
5) Troop editor gives the message above and renumbers my new trooper.
6) I edit my new troop and make sure I link the upgrade tree so I can test him in game.
7) Press update (after
each change) and then I select save before moving onto another troop to edit.
I have never had a problem with this and I use 1.003
I also have changed every troops name in all factions, changed all equipment and stats. No problems at all.
I hope that helps.
