"Unknown unit type" error for add-on units

[Forge]

If anyone remembers the Gambit's Empire Builder mod, I'm in the process of updating, modifying, and refining it because I personally enjoy playing it. (Even if most other people don't like it.) I'm having an issue with summoning add-on units for various parts of the games (buying them from villages, courtyards (elvish castle tiles), etc. Summoning core units works just fine, summoning units that came with the add-on do not. (It all worked fine in Wesnoth 1.8...or 1.6....it's been a while I dont remember for sure which one.) It throws a "unknown unit type" error in the game.
Other notes:
Unit file works.I put it in the core unit files and it'll spawn in debug mode just fine, but still not from the aforementioned village menu option.
Core units that you can buy on the menu option from the villages and such work fine.
It can find the units in the add-on, enough to complain about some non-functioning abilities when you try to load the multiplayer screen on startup. (these units where then removed and will be fixed later)
Its not a typo issue, the macro sends it looking for, in one particular case, a unit with "Cow" unit ID, and I verified the correct spelling. Paths all look good (as I said, it can follow the paths fine when it's complaining about broken units, but not when trying to spawn the good ones.

Trying to buy a cow from a "ranch" (desert village) will throw a Lua error in the game:

Code: Select all

<Lua error> game_error: unknown unit type: Cow

Buying core units in similar situations (from other villages like the #Tavern in the _buildingoptions.cfg macro) works just fine. Buying any non-core unit (aka, those that came with the add-on and are in the /units folder in the /add-ons folder) does not work in any situation.

Hope all that made sense and someone can provide some direction. I can't really code from scratch I just modify pre-exisiting files and pick them apart so I only barely know what I'm doing. If any information is missing just ask and I'll provide it.

I think your include of the units folder needs to be inside the [units] tag. It would be easiest if you uploaded the entire add-on as a zip archive though.

[Forge]

So like

Code: Select all

[unit]
x=$x1
y=$y1
side=$side_number
type={TYPE}
/add-ons/Gambits_EMPIRE_Builder/units
[/unit]

?

[Pentarctagon]

I mean like:

Code: Select all

# wmllint: no translatables

#ifdef MULTIPLAYER
[binary_path]
    path="data/add-ons/Gambits_EMPIRE_Builder"
[/binary_path]
{~add-ons/Gambits_EMPIRE_Builder/abilities}
{~add-ons/Gambits_EMPIRE_Builder/eras}
{~add-ons/Gambits_EMPIRE_Builder/images}
{~add-ons/Gambits_EMPIRE_Builder/macros}
{~add-ons/Gambits_EMPIRE_Builder/sounds}
[units]
{~add-ons/Gambits_EMPIRE_Builder/units}
[/units]
#endif

[Forge]

Sweet, that worked. Next question.
Why?

[Pentarctagon]

{~add-ons/Gambits_EMPIRE_Builder/units} includes all the [unit_type]s in that folder, and Wesnoth requires that all [unit_type]s be within the [units] tag.

huh....good to know. Thanks for the help and explanation. I'll let you guys know next time I have an issue with it.
