Got Mace?

[Prodigy]

Is there any way of creating infantry with mace?
If there is, could you describe in detail. I would realy appretiate that. Thanks in advance.

It depends, which unit do you want to have the mace? Basically it involves copying the Mace BIF from the Gothic Knight BIF and placing it in the BIF for the unit you want to have the mace, I've enver done this however, I just presume that is the basics of what you have to do.

Creating infantry with mace is really simple. You just have to add a new weapon (mace). Then you have to give this new weapon right coordinates in weapons.txt. I hope you know how to do the rest.

Well i got the theoretical part (i think), but....
First i tried use GK's mace but all i got was red tiangle in the hand connected by thin wire to dark poligon. I also tried moving coordinates around but with very little progress. Does anybody know what coordinates mace requers or what hell am i doing wrong?

OK Prodigy , so now some better explanation:
- extract all the frames of the BIF you want to add a mace
to
- do the same with LaKnight_H.BIF
- open one of the extracted frames of both BIFs with some
painting program (like PaintShopPro )
- increase color depth of those frames to 16 milion
- copy the part with a mace from one frame and paste it to
the other
- do the same operation with all the frames ( but remember
that mace has to be in the same position )
- load palette of the BIF you are adding a mace to ( first
you have to save that palette )
- save the frames you added mace to and make smaller copies
of those frames (50%)
- open BIF with bifreader and import all frames then save
- you have to do it with both name.BIF and
name_H.BIF
- open weapons.txt of appropriate BIF and add another line
- give right coordinates to new weapon (you can get them
when you open one of the low-resolution frames with
eg PaintShopPro)
- if you have the coordinates - just make changes in
Items/weapons and in ActionPage and you're done
so much for explanations - I hope that now you know what to do http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smokin.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/dizzy.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/flirt.gif
