tk's Elephant & Chariot Mini Mod Thing

[tk-421]

I have always hated seeing vanilla models and skins mixed in with the glorious EB units, and because I was bored this afternoo, I decided to do something about it.

I replaced all vanilla elephant and chariot riders with finished EB models and skins, I replaced all vanilla horse skins with finished EB ones that are currently in the game, and I removed all vanilla standard bearers. Although it is not perfect, I believe that the chariots and elephants are much easier to look at now. Here are a few screens:

It will be available for download in a week if anyone wants it.

Good idea!

Perhaps this should be combined with Bonny's sprite pack?

I got a better idea. Combine this with my MapMod too. :thumbsup:

And create a complete EB fix pack? Sounds good, although personally I should wait with that until your Mapmod is finished.

[edyzmedieval]

Yeap, exactly. :thumbsup:

I'll release a new version of the MapMod soon after my exams. :balloon2:

I think that that's an excellent idea. I'll PM Bonny and Edyz and see what they think.

Here's a download link.

Just copy and paste the export_descr_unit.txt and the descr_model_battle.txt into the appropriate directory. I have also included backup copies if you don't like my little mod or it doesn't work for some reason.

Note: The current version does not work with Bonny's sprites, but I am working on one that will be.

Is this compatible to Bonny's Sprite pack? I am not entirely sure how these files interact.

[tk-421]

Oh, sorry. I should have said something about that. They currently are not but I'm going to make a version that will be. I'll release it sometime this week.

Have you made any progress on this?

[tk-421]

I've become busy with other things lately and this probably won't be finished with Bonny's sprites.

Pity.

I have made a version of tk'S minimod that is compatible with the sprite pack. (copy and paste, 2 seconds work, hope it works :sweatdrop: )

here is the link (http://files.filefront.com/tkminimod_with_spritesrar/;5251536;;/fileinfo.html)

how to install:
just unzip the file into your RTW directory,
the sprite files are not included within this minimod , the sprite pack had to be downloaded installed before, this version of tk's minimod only has an adjustetd descr_model_battle_txt (short dmb) to use both the ebmodels as chariotdrivers / elephant riders and the new sprites.

@ tk

:2thumbsup: good luck with your new task :2thumbsup:

[tk-421]

Excellent! Thanks Bonny, I'm glad someone did this.

[Ludens]

Thanks Bonny!

[Redigo]

Weird. For Bonny's edition, FileFront reports:


Invalid Key or in use or Missing File

[Lovejoy]

Somebody please upload this file again. :shame:

[tk-421]

I would be glad to if I still had it. Could someone who has downloaded it upload their edu and dmb for others to use?

The Model used by your Indian Kataphract Elephant is still wrong....:idea2:
It resembles the African Kataphract Elephant.....
Use the model available in the RTR mod...or you will have to make one..:book:
