List of Editing Guides

So you want to make a historical battle do you?
Perhaps a unit mod?
Or maybe a full Campaign?

to get you started here are some Welsh, Scottish and Lithuanian flags with facshields

http://doragon2.web1000.com/Medieval/pages_mods/mods.htm
WARNING - all items on that page are desinged for the demo
but the flags will work if you follow the example below

to use a welsh flag in a historical battle check out the following folder in your copy of medieval

\Medieval\Battle\batinit\Historical Battles\Battle of Bannockburn

the scottish.tga is assigned to the scottish adf file


now go here and grab the medieval modding guide,
http://doragon2.web1000.com/Medieval/indexm.htm
it's for the demo, but to make your own historical battles the principles in the adf and bdf sections still apply,
(( right click on each of the four links across the top of the page, save them (webpage complete) to a folder and the pages will all link when you are offline ))

next i would recommend having a look at King Davids Camelot mod pack
here

Giskards modding guide for campaign's
here
http://www.respawn.co.uk/modules....ecid=10 (http://www.respawn.co.uk/modules.php?name=Sections&sop=listarticles&secid=10)

and finally Wellingtons unit editing guide
here
http://www.totalwar.org/cgi-bin....;t=1221 (http://www.totalwar.org/cgi-bin/forum/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=5;t=1221)


if you make a new unit it may need an lbm/icon, there are some that can be used for almost anything at the doragon modding guide,
and i know The Lords are working on more
:-)

there we go,
that should see you well on the way,
the hardest part of the learning curve has already been suffered by us poor fools http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

I'd just like to add
you also need
a bif for review_panel icon
a bif for info_pics
which go into the campmap folder
You will get CTD without
the bifs.
You can rename existing
ones in the game or you can use ours
if you want something different.

A set of ten has been posted with units
and more will be posted today.

Hi B,

Er ... I think you have a wrong link for the "Animations" thread - as started by myself.

As an aside, although I started the thread I really don't see it as "Wellingtons thread" It was intended to be a thread that would provide information/experience from multiple contributors - not just myself.

Sigh, such is life

it would appear that reindexing changed the "number" of the file...
will keep an eye on it and see if it happens again...
