new naginata

[solypsist]

So just why did EA decide to change the sprites of the Naginata? While the new one is okay, I preferred the older STW version. Anyone have any answers other than "because they could," ?

[clink]

I heard a few others voice thier disatisfaction of the new spirites for the Naginata.
I prefere the older as well.
Why the change? Your guesse is as good as mine.

without getting too involved into mods, is there a way to get the old ones back? like copy a file from the old stw to the new stw and simply switch something out?

The new seems me when I'm doing my solid natural needs. http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/biggrin.gif

I think you can swap old stw with MI.
The nagi sprites are here: \Textures\Men\Nagi

Unfortunately *if* those changes apply, the Nag appearance would only change in battle-mode. I think the Nag pic which shows in the army selection screen is a BIF, which is currently uneditable.

I'll try it anyway. http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif

Tried and tested.

It doesnt work.

I think the sprites are somewhere else, somewhere uneditable for now, maybe in a BIF.

thanks for trying Tera. Now just what exactly doesn't ork? the BIF part or the texture/sprite part? or both?

Soly,

I think they are both connected to each other. Ie. If one doesn't work, the other one doesn't too.

The sprites stuff in textures/men folder doesn't work. I think you have to edit a BIF. (don't know WHICH one exactly)

That's the problem - there are no programs (for now) that can open stw BIF's.

Could CA bring back the old Naginata in a patch?

Anyone else wish for this as well?

Is Target out there?????maybe he can answer this one http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/biggrin.gif

i didn't notice the change. what's the diff?

[clink]

The difference is in the sprites,the new Naginata look very simialer to the yari samuria,except for the weapons they carry.Some feel like myself,that the Naginata of the old STW looked better graphically.
Some differ.

[solypsist]

it's also a matter of size; everyone has by now noticed that the korean solderis are very tiny in comparison to the original STW ones, and the new naginata is just as small.
as long as this has been bumped up, any progress on getting the old nags back?

Korean soldiers in the original STW? Did I hear right, am I missing something? I am playing the original STW and Ive never encountered korean soldiers, can you tell me were to find them?
(Ps: I hope so much this wasnt just a tiping error from you)
