How do I change the strat map models of cities and watchtowers? As in I already have the cas files created, just unsure of how to implement them ingame (Do I set the parent for all vertices as the scene root?)
Also (I think EB has this) how do I make each faction have their own strat map characters rather than grouping them by culture, if it is possible at all?
The having separate strat map characters bit is easy just treat descr_model_strat.txt the same way as descr_model_battle.txt and add a new 'type' for each of the factions, eg:
Quote:
type BI_sm_albion_general
skeleton strat_named_with_army
scale 0.7
indiv_range 40
texture empire_west, bi/eod/data/models_strat/textures/BI_unit_albion_general.tga
model_flexi_m bi/eod/data/models_strat/BI_unit_Albion_general_lod1.cas, max
and reference that type in descr_character.txt:
Quote:
faction empire_west
dictionary 15
strat_model BI_sm_albion_general
battle_model general_albion
battle_equip gladius, chainmail shirt helmet and rectangular shield
can't help on first question though (don't even know what a vertex is in this context):embarassed:
I "think" the answer to the first question might be in "descr_cultures"
from the file;
port_sea data/models_strat/residences/roman_port_03_sea.CAS
watchtower data/models_strat/residences/watchtower_roman.CAS, watchtower_roman
watchtower_cost 200
spy spy.tga spy_info.tga spy.tga 350 0 1
as you can see here they set the model and cost for watchtowers, tough its on a per culture basis and I doubt you can change them per faction (than again I'm not even sure the above entry is actually correct)
