I finaly managed to edit the campaign map, in particular England at it looks great. I also managed to implement King arthurs' hero names and even queen gwen in the game and it works.. I need help with the faction flag tho. And i have the image file for the genuine flag of king arthur but i need to convert it to a bif that will work in the game if someone could help I would apreciate it. Also need sugestions on the units to use in this early campaing mod..

It's realy simple. I used a program called irfanview. It is free on the web. With it you can see all the graphic files in mtw. here is the link: http://www.irfanview.com/

Downloaded and pull up the campaign map in:
medieval\textures\campmap\maptex.tga and maptex2.tga then you simply highligh a clear area of the regionmap you want to edit then copy and paste it over the name of the region and then irfanview allows you to put any name you like on the map. Realy simple stuff... I have tried doing the flags but that i have not been able to do. I think barocca knows how to do it so im sure someone will help out.. ill send you Arthurs emblem now on the email.. But if you need further help with irfanview let me know..

BTW, Danish Crusades are true to history.

You may not care about war, but war cares about you!

Update on Camelot mod:

Merlin and other wizards have replaced the pope.

Merlins' draggon can be summoned by Grand Wizards and Wizards

Camelot and catholic factions can go on quests and be rewarded.

Campaign map region England has been modifyed to reflect King Uther Pendragon and Arthurs realm.

Units have not been modified and I still need help with Changing englands flags and shields but the mod looks good and works with old version as well as v1.1.. I am just touching it up and will up loaded soon.

This mod was created to awaken the creative juices of all Mtw moders and you are welcomed to colaborate and add things to it as you feel compeled. Thank you

Camelot Update:

Camelot has its own faction flags and shields
(Basicaly a Golden Horde In Red and Black)

Inquisitors do not exist but now we have something even more terrifying: Merlins' Avengers.

If you dont get your princess married she becomes Merlins' Dragons Bride (Hum Meal)

Quests Quests Quests instead of Crusades

Epic Pictures have been modifyed
Pope Pictures modifyed (Realy cool looking Wizzards)

Still tinkering will keep you posted on this exiting mod...(Learning)

Wish I could posted here so you can see..But Mainly changed wessex into camelot and other regions of england to reflect on the legends of arthur and merlin. I will probably change rome and pappal states as well since there is no more pope... Yeaaahh !!!

The flags and shields can be done
using bifreader2.1 to extract the bif
to bmp then edit the bmp and import
again using the same format in reverse.

LBA said he'll do them for you anyway.

Hola Don Loco,

I managed to take care of it now that i know how to use the darn thing. The Shield for Camelot looks awsome.. Red Back ground Black dragon foreground. Merlin needs a shield as well since he now rules the realm. The pappal shields look to gay..

Okay shields are done... just used the brown shields... basically would want to (if possible) change the graphics and locations of the map regions. Right now its workable but VERY confusing (Africa is a 'zoom map' for Southern France w/c represents Kent/Sussex. That sort of thing.

I realy apreciate your help guys, I will be uploading the mod soon so you can add and take away from it to your hearts content altho it looks realy good. It will be way different than what you are used to in this game, as you will see. As far as the units is concerned I leave that up to you experts of the produnit file, Im getting new ideas everyday for this mod. But if i keep going ill never be done. So Ill work with what i have and upload it for you to play and tinker with. Thanks again

Did you download irfanview ? You can use that program to modify both maps. You will have to modify them to look the same so it is allot of work. As far as the regions, You can cut and paste from the map to clear away names of regions and land features if you like but you have to do it from the same map i think.. Im gona try to put a dragon as a land feature in the Camelot map to see if it works. I just made subtle changes to the camelot map becuase altho the graphic program irfanview is good it does not have the features i like. Like eye droper and all that.. sounds like you just have to erase the names and just name the reagions important to the plot of your campaign...
