View Full Version : Is it possible to adjust  projectile images?

Can you for example make a unit that throws axes instead of javelins? I'm almost positive that the projectiles aren't 3D models, except for the warmachine projectiles, which are.
Every 2D image is somewhere in the folders saved as a .tga or whatever. This means they can be replaced. But is this also the case for the arrows and javelins?

Cheers, Duke John

I believe you can but if you changed the image to an axe, it wouldn't spin through the air it'd simply stay straight and look rather odd.

Hmmm, that would seem odd indeed. So it would also be possible to make fireballs using the flaming arrow images and the game-engine then creates smoking trails...hmm might be fun for the LotR mod http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/idea.gif

What if you replaced it with an image that
changes facing from frame to frame like
the torch maybe?

I'd listen to LK, his animations knowledge far surpasses mine.

The torch might work, but it isn't a normal weapon. It's only used when attacking castles. The bif would thus only be loaded when the unit attacks castles. Does anyone happen to know where these images are located? I've looked but I didn't find anything.

Sorry I meant to tell you last time.

Textures\men : exploage.lbm

The torch idea was just for the concept.

I'll get back to you on this.

While we're on this topic...

Has anyone attempted to change the stupid bloody organ gun animation to that of an arquebusier (s?) volley?

A cannon ball? http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/dizzy.gif WTF were they thinking? http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/pissed.gif
