Shield Graphics in Faction selection and Custom Battles

[Laridus Konivaich]

This is my first tutorial, about the files which affect shield graphics in the faction selection and custom battle selection windows. I apologize if this is common knowledge. Comments are appreciated. Click here (ftp://userftp.blarg.net/users/greekdude300/BannerTutorial/index.html) for the tutorial.

*The tutorial page may load slowly, so be patient.

The link doesn't seem to work for me....

I'll change the title of this thread so that people will know what its about. Thanks for your contribution Laridus, nothing is common knowledge to everyone ~;)

The link's working from my side, but as PLK said, it is pretty slow - even with this whizzo connection. I can't say I understand why though, the page doesn't look too resource intensive.

Maybe its because its a link to an ftp?

I was preparing a tutorial for the total conversion of symbols and banners corresponding to a faction, but Prince Laridus was faster than me ~D .
In any case, I post here some images to show where the modifications of the symbols are observed in game. These are examples of the substitution of the britons symbols and banners to prepare the celtic faction in the Iberia:TW mod.

First of all the symbol128_factionname.tga in Data\loading_screen\symbols.

Here you can see the effect of changing symbol48_factionname.tga in faction selection menu for battles and campaigns. These files are in Data\menu\symbols\FE_buttons_48.

In the second image, it is encircled in green the effect of symbol24_factionname.tga. These files are in Data\menu\symbols\FE_buttons_24.
Please, look only to the effect, not to the "artistic" aspect of the symbols. :embarassed:
I hope this will help.
Cheers.

P.D. If I finish the tutorial, probably I will post it here as a continuation.
