How do I produce Ptolemaic troops?

:help: I'd like to give my Egyptian armies a more Macedonian look. I realise RTR has a proper Ptolemaic army, but I've spent a lot of time modding my RTW campaign and I'd like to stick with it. Between the Macedonian, Seleucid and Egyptian troop types I could produce a Ptolemaic army, but I don't know how to reskin the troops. All I'm really looking to do is change the uniform colour to Egyptian gold. Is there any way for someone with no experience of graphics editing to do this? I have PhotoStudio 5.5 on my computer, but I don't know if that's any use to me.

I'm not knowledgeable about this myself, but at the very least you need an art package that can deal with .tga files and .dds files (NVidia do a dds plug-in for Photoshop). If neither of those are available, then your best bet is to have a look around for skins/models that someone else has already made and integrate them into your game.

Thanks for the response ER! ~:cheers:
I'll have to see what my program is capable of. If it's not appropriate, I'll just have to go begging! ~D

You can always download RTR and use their Ptolemy models in your own mod - just so long as it's for your own personal use and not public distribution.

Found it! There's a very nice mod at TWcenter, which also introduces a couple of new Seleucid units. I now have a Ptolemaic army and am officially one happy bunny! ~D
