Skin & Model Repository & Bits 'n' Bobs Archive

This thread is an archive of miscellaneous skins & models created or modified by members of the community. They may be downloaded and used freely and, with proper credit, included in other mods made publicly available.

The sad truth is that may mod projects that are begun are never completed - but the real tragedy arises when the effort put into them is lost to the community and its creations left unused on someone's harddrive.

Equally, in learning to mod, we create skins & models as part of developing our skills without necessarily intending them for any particular project.

Perhaps they are now useless or unwanted to their creator, but perhaps they will inspire other modders, perhaps help another mod onto completion.

So please do have a root around your harddrive and see if you've got anything that may be at all useful and then post it here, or if you've been a part of mod project that will unfortunately never be completed - or you are a modder who is leaving RTW - please consider releasing your work to the community. There have been several examples of recently of excellent work that simply cannot continue to be used in good conscience because the modders can no longer be contacted to ask for their permission.

My first skinning efforts were done as a favour to another member. They asked for Macedonian and Seleucid versions of the Greek Heavy Peltasts.

As many new players, I was intrigued by the Samnite mercenaries. I intended for a while to bulk out a mercenary list for them - before I actually learned a little more about who the Samnites actually were. Most of the changes are just changing the shade and adding the Samnite symbol to shields and armour.

My first mod was called Rome Total ZOR which changed the recruitment model so that you were able to recruit any troop from any faction so long as you controlled that faction's homelands. I planned a successor mod (entitled 'CZOR' ) which would have had skins so that every unit would appear in each faction's colours. I had started on the barbarians when I realised that in fact most players hated the faction colours after all.

These next two skins were modified by The_Ferret as part of the WYSISYG project which was designed to provide a graphical solution to all the inconsistencies in the unit file (eg, units having shields when they don't have a shield bonus). The Britons and Germans both got additional armour to make them consistent with the look of other units of similar stats. The Armenian Cataphract Archers similarly got additional armour on the face and arms to justify their high armour value.

great! I might be able to post some of my 'experiments' here... at least the 1814 Mousquetaires du Roi...

This is an excellent idea! It'll stop those single, but excellent pieces of work from being relegated to the back pages.

How do i add these units to the game?

There's quite a lot of work involved to add new units into the text files. If you haven't already done so, I'd read this tutorial for an explanation on how all the files link together:
