Help EB team with Celtic Chariots !
Gentlemen, I'm totally unable to integrate those guys correctly :wall:
The correct vehicle should look like that :

If any of you make me a step by step working tutorial he will gain my eternal gratitude (and maybe even a secret screenshot ~D )
The model is correct but the game always choose the wrong vanilla skin.
I've packed and repacked, changed the names and such but can't get it. So please don't post if you have not tried the thing.
Thanks !
Re: Help EB team with Celtic Chariots !
Just my ignorance, but anyway: have you tried to both overwrite the Vanilla file and have a file in the apropiate EB\ subfolder?
Re: Help EB team with Celtic Chariots !
Just noticed this thread. Maybe someone there can help.

Didn't Vercingetorix know how to implent them?
Re: Help EB team with Celtic Chariots !
Ermm guys, I don't see any entry for the Celtic heavy chariots in the EB descr_model_battle.txt, perhaps its defaulting to the vanilla DMB which has the vanilla texture applied?:dizzy2:
EDIT:Never mind, there's nothing about Chariots in that file either. Wonder why CA never bothered to enter them?
Re: Help EB team with Celtic Chariots !
Anybody thought of asking the Lord of the Rings guys? IIRC they have lots of chariot types in their mod.
Re: Help EB team with Celtic Chariots !
What exactly is the problem? I've posted in the thread at tWC - is that what you wanted to know? (though I'm sure EB would know such a thing regarding chariot, warhound textures etc.)

We have lost some of our earlier knowledge when dealing with them when one of our members quit and since another one is never around.
Re: Help EB team with Celtic Chariots !
Would you like me to post the relevant text for our war wains, and pm the cas and texture file to someone? Would this help?

I hope this helps. The warwain lods can be repathed in the text file but the texture seems to seek out models_unit/textures folder. I am not a modeller but my understanding is that the cas file (as Teleklos will know from such things as vanilla palm-tree models) are keyed to the texture rather than it being designated in a text file.
Borsook corrected the wrong texture of the Scotti Chariots in his RTW-BI Enhancment Pack so that may be an avenue of research (he has it in the pak file I believe) - but a good modeller should be able to tell you how it works.
I'm just a coder ;)
