Sometimes you just have to figure out what you are missing as no one else might have what you want. Check if the myth_log tells you what you are missing. If not, open Fear and look at each tag. It might not be obvious, but there must be a missing tag that is stopping it from working. OR if you placed these tags inside a local folder with other tags, there might be a conflict with 2 tags having the same ID.

Hi Pyro,

I open Fear and look at each tag. but not found there a missing tag that is stopping it from working.
and placed these tags inside a local folder without other tags, also cleaned the entire folder before.
I not found a conflict with 2 tags having the same ID.

this unit, it will not work with version 1.7.2 Myth?

Look here Myth_log :

No need to download a DLL file for Myth. You can delete that file you got. Why are you using Direct3D? Try OpenGL. Why do you have "marius net Patch" and "marius net DNS"? Did you make those or did you download those? You might want to delete those 2 files, but that is not related to your issue.

The ballista collection file is corrupt. Re-saving it in Oak will allow Myth to run without crashing, but some of the bitmaps will be incorrect.

Ok Pyro // Melekor,

I'll try to do the fixes suggested by you.

I using direct 3D or OpenGl ... I switched, to see if it run with one or the other.
I have "marius net Patch" and "marius net DNS"? I know nothing about it ,because I do not play multiplayer.

previously once I ran perfectly this unit ballista in a Myth with older version, but I not remember now.

I setting Myth pref to OpenGL, the ballista unit run correctly.
However, the projectiles that it throws, The ballista collection file is corrupt ("spriters".)

look.

That ballista sprite comes from Age Of Empires (the first one), I recognize it. Maybe you could find some of the sprite graphics on the internet and use them to fix up the collection?

[Point]

or just borrow one of the 3 that are in the AoM tagset..
