Modelling and Skinning

[Cute Wolf]

here's my try to skin the Sarmatian Noble Cavalry as Turanggawesi, so they allready worn Javanese heavy scale mail (the center is steel scale, with Jatayu symbol on it, the skirt is mix of bronze and steel, and the arm and leg is brass), but apparently, someone should help me to change the sword to keris panjang, and apparently, the in game screen is just... eng.... bit goofy (NOTE : I used si cepot's head as their war-mask template, after removing the teeth)

in reality, every catass men would just worn different masks that suit themself... but for easiness sake, I use cepot's face as placeholder... BTW, maybe that face is more frightening...

[Rahwana]

That was some random masks plutoboyz, the Cataphracts even don't have any unform style of masks... so every kind of traditional masks is applicable.

BTW, are you sure the arm was only short sleeved? I think that one we see on the museum (check your photo album), had long sleeves made od bronze scales.

[plutoboyz]

well, at least that mask really exist. I never see cepot's mask.

Thanks for Sonic and CW answer, I realize that RTW and BI Engine cannot differentiate Family Members and Recruited General model in the same faction (while Alex.exe can)...

I remember now, it is just like Celtic Vollorix, you have 40 bodyguard in Celtic style, a standard bearer in Celtic style, an officer in Celtic style and a General in your faction style behind the officer...if it is Hayasdan, so you have a Hayasdan General in a group of Celtic...

BTW, in a group of Penggawa Dato' (Malay-Sriwijaya Rec Bodyguard), maybe there are 25 riders and a flag bearer.... so a General model there is a must?

[Cute Wolf]

yes that was a must :grin:

oh yeah, maybe that wasn't an important issues for now, but I've planned to leave the recruitable generals off anyway (because they are unlikely to get adopted, no matter how well they perform in battle, unless you are allready short of generals), the standard adoption plan maybe better (as I just discover the hard way, non-FM general could lead a CTD in AI faction, when the faction in question got "swamped", and the AI had no other choice than made him faction heir / leader.... when they got the leader position in AI's hands... BAM... CTD....)

*. or maybe I should made them recruitable in specific building, SPAWNED ONLY FOR THE PLAYER's FACTION, maybe some kind of Capital marker building (since the RTW "capital" terms had been replaced with "administrative center" in my textwork)

[Cute Wolf]
