If anyone can help us out with this question it would be much appreciated. We are improving the NTW ( Napoleonic ) mod to make it more historically inclined.
We'd like to improve the graphics and are slowly discovering the darkest mysteries of MTW graphics. Heres what we need to know. We are currently playing with 133 troop types in 5 major nationalities. The old NTW graphics are a bit limited and the same models seems to be used for Russians, French, Austrians etc. Ideally we would like to individualise them. i.e a French line infantry model will be very different to a Russian or Austrian one. Now we understand about faction colours etc and have been told that the maximum number of models that can be available in a game is 40 or so. ( Something to do with the number of folders in textures / men ? )
Because of the similarities amongst some nations uniforms we reckon we can get it down to 73 different models, some being almost identical except for tunic colours etc.
Question - is 40 something the max number of models available? If so is there any way we can cram more in?
thanks in advance for any info.
