Archers don't using bows after adding additional units

[William de Beaujeu]

First of all thanx for the help for implenting own troop trees, this works now. But I came upon another problem, I'm still a noob in modding, I admit as it is a fact. I hope that one day I won't need any more help.
I've been making my own trooptrees for a little module I'm making for my own. With bigger trooptrees and more need of tactics than of good troops.
My only problem now is that my archers don't always use their bows, or don't always have shoes on.
Some of my cavalry doesn't have shoes on eather.

All help is welcome.

Well, do you have tf_guarantee_ranged flag or tf_guarantee_boots in your troop tuple? Because if you put tf_guarantee_something they will have to have it in game. Best example is Khergit Lancers do not have tf_guarantee_helmet and in game not every lancer have helmet.

Yes, that's what i meant with 'ranged on' so that's what I can't understand xD

Did you touch the item order list?  Not sure if it helps, but you can try putting ammunition as first item and range weapon as second, to ensure that they get selected first.  Also try not to put in > 1 range weapon, ammunition.  dunno if there are stupid cases like 2 bows with no arrows or 2 arrows with no bow etc...

1. Your picture is so small
2. Your problem is in Flags group:
With archer, you should check "Ranged", if not, some of them will use bow, some will not. Also for your missing-boots cavalry. With cavalry, if you not check "Mounted", you will have some mounted cavalry and some foot cavalry ).
3. Start a new game for effect, not from a save before you add items. This is also need for change gender of troops.

Yes, I tried those things:
- Putting bow and arrows first
- Putting multiple bows and arrows in the list or only 1 like you mention
- removing other weapons

1. Yes, I'm sorry for it, something went terribly wrong when exporting.

2. I ensured I did that, I read about that problem many times.

3. I'll get this one going now, probably this will be the problem.

Starting a new game solved the problem.
