Cavalry for Britons?

[barocca]

capitalisation
the game does not seem to mind,
either way is fine


here are two more,
and one i am not sure about,
while he makes a fine officer i think i will see if i can use him for something else, (could not get him as sword and with the plume...)

dismounted Briton Cav


mounted chosen sword


using the copper skin as an officer (had to give him a sword and the correct shield)

Could somebody please make all these units into one big installer? IMHO Britons suffer from a small tech tree, these units would certainly help

Barocca, how did you mount Naked Fanatics? I tried using barb cavalry but it didn't work. Heres what I typed into descr_model_battle:

type barb_cavalry_fanatic_gaul
skeleton fs_hc_swordsman
indiv_range 40
texture gauls, data/models_unit/textures/barb_gaestae_gaul.tga
model_flexi data/models_unit/unit_barb_gaestae_high.cas, 8
model_flexi data/models_unit/unit_barb_gaestae_med.cas, 15
model_flexi data/models_unit/unit_barb_gaestae_low.cas, 30
model_flexi data/models_unit/unit_barb_warband_cavalry_lowest.cas, max
model_sprite gauls, 60.0, data/sprites/gauls_barb_naked_fanatic_sprite.spr
model_tri 400, 0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f

[barocca]

you have a typo there

REPLACE
model_flexi data/models_unit/unit_barb_warband_cavalry_lowest.cas, max
WITH
model_flexi data/models_unit/unit_barb_gaestae_lowest.cas, max


also this is export_descr_unit

Thanks

BTW, one page 2, how did you get those archers, I've not seen them before in the game. Did you make them yourself or can I get them in-game.

[barocca]

here is the briton cav dismounted with spear

and these two i call chunky cav

but i know whats wrong and will edit the TGA skin's and drop them on a new model (which also allows me to make them available as spear OR sword :-)



B.

[barocca]

it took some time,

the "Chunky Cav" do not actually HAVE a "model" supplied with the game,
so i had to give them bicep guards to mask the "chunky bit"

on the PLUS side i found a couple of models that i had missed,

so some excellent units tomorrow morning for you,

in the meantime these guys have been "split" into two skins, allowing Sword or Spear

The SPEAR skin put on the the unit_barb_cavalry model, (can be mounted or foot)
and the SWORD skin put on the unit_barb_warguard model (again mounted or foot)








download the skins here...link


AS ALWAYS feel free to use any of these for your own mods,

i have a long way to go, and i am going to resort what i have got,
with so many units, far more than expected, my original numbering/naming system is getting cumbersome


oh yeah, the chunky cav are also available for three other factions,
(but i dont have the time to "fix" them too),
duplicate the other skins, (you'll need 2 copies of each)
then cut and paste the weapon change and the armguard bits from my skins onto the other's
The original skin name is UNIT_BARB_WARBAND_SWORD_(faction)

(wether you change the shields or not (as i did above) is up to you)

cheers,
B.

[barocca]

the notes to use these are in the file download

the skin is part of the game, but i included it with the notes,






download skin and instructions...link

cheers,
B.

[barocca]

this will take a minute to load, a little patience :-)

i have made plenty more alterations

as stated before i am resorting all of these and will upload the whole lot, nice, neat and tidy together, when i finish them

i hope to make it easy so you can pick and choose what units you want to add and what to leave out,

but i thought i'd share the latest addition to the Britons lineup with you

Very impressive. They'd certainly make me think twice about invading!

Here's the new challenge - to create accurate British chariot crews armed with javelins rather than bows. I've tried myself, but with no success.

[RTW King]

You know the barb standard guy. Is it possible to make a unit of them and remove the standard so they would just have the sword? If so, can you you do it without moddeling? If its really simple moddeling, perhaps you can tell me how as I have 3dsmax 7 but no idea how to use it.
