Jango green jackets have special powers. I post you a cheat. LBA
erm LK they aint the stats for they units are they http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...s/rolleyes.gif
i think they need a little tweaking this is what i think needs to be changed in my opionuion.
- Rifles men have less range.
- more morale on cav
Thats about it so your nearly perfect http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/smile.gif
A little tweaking?Quote:

Hi LK http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wave.gif
ROFL - everytime I ask people to help with research it gets rather qiet - it seems to be the easiest way to be left alone. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ons/tongue.gif
I messed around a bit with the frontend images (cloth-type background aso..)and got them running, but when I want to load a game the red loading box fills halfway and then I can hear a pinging sound from an errormessage but I'm not able to see it. It's in the background somewhere on the desktop and alt+tab ist no more working neither is ctrl+alt+del. I have to restart the PC.
Any Idea?
I did as you told me by opening the original files and just copying the changes into them before saving. And it does look good - until the second half of the loading box.
As for the portraits I'm still busy converting them - should be around 150 now with probably another 100 still left to do (not quite sure if the numbers are right but should be around that).
Will post some more examples soon.
hehehe
id rather pay for Napolonic mod then VI http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/smile.gif
but im not gonna http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/joker.gif
Well for a one man show your not doing to badQuote:

I'm going to give a simplistic example
for my sake. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/biggrin.gif
Open new tga same size and so on as tga in game,
add new image to new tga, save, add to game.
It won't work. simple ok. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/biggrin.gif
Second option
copy an original tga from the game
open said tga in photo shop
clone new image onto said tga.
Save said tga
Put said tga in the game you will
see it. It may not be the most difficult
correct way to do it but it works.
The lbms are worse. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/biggrin.gif
so what did you change and how?
BTW please don't post it here it could get messy. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/biggrin.gif
thanks

Truth be told, it was actually the very post that you directed me to that gave me the idea initially. I was asking about the ease of accomplishing such a task precisely because I thought it might be a more viable alternative to the research involved in getting authentic portraits. As you stated though, the task is too labor intensive to really be worth the trouble so...Quote:

P.S: I'm looking for clerics now...
@LK
I'll send you an email.
@Demon of Light
Sure mate, just send the pic to: webmaster@finupdivers.com
Hal,
Not much here but one or two might serve for clerics
http://www.geocities.com/CollegePark/2783/pictures.html
Again, more pictures but several are still from the wrong era. Let me know if you want me to do some sorting (shudder) http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/V...2603/image.htm
Apollinaris of Posat
http://www.capuchinfriars.org.au/apollina.htm
He exists the same era as Napoleon. He was killed during the French Revolution after refusing to swear allegiance to the Revolution. The site has names along the left side of the screen. These are Franciscans of note. Little attention needs to be paid to era as Franciscans are remakably consistant about their attire. Several pertraits there but you might want to religate them all to priests considering that bishops and cardinals looked MUCH different. Still, Franciscans did alot of the church's grunt work so it seems fitting that they would be represented as priests in the mod.
Another site. Much easier to navigate and some of the pictures look usable
http://carmelnet.org/galleries/Saint...ng/listing.htm
This is what I have for now. Let me know if more is needed.
The site below might generate more images.
http://jerome2007.tripod.com/catholic_web_links.htm
I don't exactly know what you are looking for so please specify if the type of images you are looking for are among those I supplied.
@DoL
have a look at www.npg.org.uk - its the far most useful site for these portraits I ever found.
A very good example what I'm looking for is: http://www.npg.org.uk/live....ole=sit
Prerequisites:
1. The portrait should have been made from 1750-1850
2. The face of the sitter should be roughly the size of an MTW portraits face - not less. Larger is ok http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wink.gif
3. If it comes with a name it should be used as file name - later I can create the names lists from these.
4. The style should - if possible - be like an oil painting. It's much more work to change the look of drawings, prints or lithographs into the appropriate style.
I.e. Goyas paintings were very useful for me but I don't know enough portraitists of that time so I could search the web for their names.
What I'm still lacking:
1. Generals: Still Austrians missing (white Uniform - i have some 12 or 15), I have enough Russian, British, Prussian, Spanish and French
2. Admirals: I have mostly British (no surprise) but not enough of them (high priority)
3. Emmissaries: I have enough of them, but would accept more if the portraits are nice (low priority)
4. Spies and assassins: see Emmissaries
5. Priests, Bishops, Cardinals: I have not more than 20 - so lots of them missing (high priority)
6. Princesses: I have not more than 50 - so still some of them missing (but not at a high priority)
7. Monarchs: Not sure about what to do with them - of course I have the ones that ruled through the Napoleonic period - but probably they will not be enough. And in the game they never will be assigned correctly.
1-7 for Muslim (Ottoman Empire): I only have 4 or 5 portraits at all - so nearly all of them missing.
I guess someone who is more skillful than I am in modding the gamefiles should start thinking about the structure the Nap Mod will use. Will we try to use the religious structure in some way? During the Napolonic Period religions were not really a matter neither created differences between the factions (except maybe for the Ottoman Empire).
So what for could these structures be useful. May we be able to use them for assigning the right portraits to some of the factions? I.e. by dividing by uniform colours (blus for French and Prussian, red for British a.s.o.)?
Or will there be other items like development trees which will not match but override these needs?
I guess that the implementation into and the use of the religious system structure within the Nap Mod could be one of the most challenging tasks to do.
When considering this of course we should think about the development trees for the different factions. Hopefully we'll find a way to use them for grouping our Napoleonic factions so these groups could match the existing religious structure.
Just some thoughts...
In the meantime I will go on with the portraits - btw DoL - you didn't tell me what you would like to be - a princess I assume http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/biggrin.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/biggrin.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/biggrin.gif
I'd like to be a European MTW general. Did any of the pictures work in the links I sent or is searching through those links for appropriate pictures my job?
@DoL
Yes, some of the pictures were useable - I already sorted them out. BTW - I guess I didn't thank you for the links - done herewith. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wink.gif
I wouldn't mind if you could find new ones. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/biggrin.gif
Not a princess... http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/mecry.gif ... I was really looking forward doing that.... http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/mecry.gif
LK you planning on makeing any new units of faction for your mod or you just putting the fisnishing tounches on it now
btw realse date?
and you site outta bandwith it said to me http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/mecry.gif
Miiror Link for Nap. ModStormer, here is the mirror link for the Nap. mod you should be able to get what you need here, as far as the Mods release date The Lords still have some work to do before the entire mod is released, with VI's release we have been busy sorting things out. The campaign script is being tweaked, trade issues, Names/Titles etc. being addressed I am sure once we complete and release the Mod as a whole the end result will be worth the wait http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/biggrin.gif So until then enjoy the Unit Betas and keep sending us your feedback. Thanks LOS http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/biggrin.gif
sweet, add some more british troops will ya http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wink.gif
btw u making a campgin for it.
That's what we tought you were waiting for. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/eek.gifQuote:

Well Krazy; me, 'stormer', 'jango', 'thomas', 'mich' and someone by the name of 'general wellington' have been playing it alot. AT least i am now reasured by the fact that many of the probs will be fixed, for example the fact that the brits kick everyones buttox.
Well if people keep asking the same questions,Quote:

Like krazy said this is only the beta, evolution has only just begun.
Long live the nap mod and may it reagn hard in VI.
TenkiSoratoti
Gaaah forgot to say, krazy the green jackets make the brits the best and the same goes with the jaegar infantry for the prussians. I think we have made a rule now not to bring them against nations that dont have those long range snipers.
Get over it http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/eek.gifQuote:

Ok guys I left the other thread open
that Tenkisoratoti started so you could
make that your mp toasting ground. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ons/tongue.gif
So take it there. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/biggrin.gif
Thank you.
btw if you could stick to the fundementals there,
it would be nice also. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wink.gif
However I will understand the need to throw taunts
across the battlefield if stormer keeps winning.
http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/joker.gif
I'll see you in the mp thread. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wave.gif
LK http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ons/smokin.gif
Ok, i was merely pointing out that i have wooped ricky's arse so many times and he aint wooped me once at nap mod yet so ha
Anyway LordKrazy i can get you a huge database on all the units that fought at the battle of Waterloo, ligny, quatre bras, nivelles etc if you really want, im not sure how deep youll be going into the time but it would be a sin not to recreate those particular battles.
Plus wellingtons finest troops were located in the colonies (now known as america http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wink.gif), im not sure whether yuo'll want those troops either? because i think they were present in the peninsula campaigns....
