Unit & color

[Upxl]

I'm currently playing with the Romano-Brits.

Is there any way to mod the First Legionary Cohorts (the eagle) in to the British faction?
Also was hoping to change the unit color in the battle map.

[GrimSta]

i could do it for you, the forst cohort will have capes and all :P

ill upload it when im done

[Upxl]

That's so sweet ~:)


If it's not to much trouble,.. Would you be so kind to give a short doc. explaining how you did it?

Tnx in advance

[GrimSta]

yeah sure, i also have made a unit card and a unit info card for you, ill also stick in a step by step guide, just having a small problem with the name atm :P

but it is a very very basic thing i have done (it has same stats and unit size as the WRE/ERE equivalent, and it uses the regular RB Legionary skin and model, but i have made it recruitable in the campaign :)

but like i say, small naming difficulty then everyuthing will be back on track
:bow:

EDIT: w00t im a full member now!!! woohoo!

[Upxl]

Sounds great man tnx again.

This may be a bit to much of the good stuff, but I'm going to give it a shot anyway.

The eagle is a flag right?
I'm wondering if it would be possible to change it in an eagle like the Cohorts have in RTW.

I'm not asking you to do this mate, just if it would be possible.

well, they have an eagle above their unit flag, like all eagle units, i havent given them an Aquilafer though....ill see if i can make a reskin of one for you....or i can redo their banner.

[Upxl]

That isn’t necessary.
I'm more then happy with the color and first cohort.

I was just thinking out loud.

[GrimSta]

No, its ok....i managed to get permission to use Lusted's (Cemmendur's) Legionary Draconarii (this had replaced the Eagle by the time the game starts)

[Upxl]

No, its ok....i managed to get permission

Didn't know you need permission.

Can’t wait though.
When it's done, I’ll buy you a beer.

You need permission from the original owner to release any part of anothers mod as part of your own.

If you don't, you'll get banned from every RTW fansite on the web.

Oooohk, i have basicaly managed to find time to semi finish this :P
what we have so far:

Romano-British First Legionaires
1: 122 Men per Unit
2: Draconarii (not reskinned yet, been doing work on my Thracian Minimod)
3: Provides Morale Boosts
4: Uses regular Romano-British model & textures, im speaking to a friend to fix the hole in the leg (this means they get a cape ~:cool: )
5: New unit cards, and new Unit Info cards (ace piccy of a RB Legionaire running forward with his shield raised look below for a preview :P)

Stop it!

Drooling already ~:)

[GrimSta]

ok, ill have it done by this evening, im just rushing the last part of my mod, then ill finish your legionaries ~:cheers:

[Upxl]

Well it worked.
I've putted the First Legionnaires into the Romano British empire.
Even the unit cards look fine.

But on the battle map their still with the standard (West empire) colors.
Any idea on how to fix this?

I only have Photoshop, no 3d max ore anything.

[GrimSta]

oh shit, sorry!!!!
i was totaly pre-occupied!!!!!!!!
I have done most of the stuff for the cohort tho mate, ill upload it and send it to you....i cant say how sorry i am ~:mecry: :hide:

[Upxl]

No worries m8

It's been interesting to learn about modding.

Still am very curious how a more experienced modder (like yourself) handled the job though
