This work for 0.81a? I haven't checked it out yet...
I havent had time to make the changes to the 0.81a files yet, Ill have some time this weekend.
I dont know which files have been adapted by the 0.81a patch, but I am pretty sure edu or dmb is one of them, so the mod probably wont work yet.
Copy-pasting the relevant entries into the 0.81a text files isn't terribly difficult though. I use the Agart spartan skin for the KH bodyguards myself, on the grounds that royal guards without a fair bit of bling thrown in just aren't trying. :pimp:
I found the time to do this this afternoon, the link in the first post is updated to a version for 0.81a.
I would like to replace the normal Spartiates Hoplitai unit currently in the EB mod for the Super-rich skin Teleklos posted here. Is that possible? what should I do to get that super skin for my regular Spartiates Hoplitai? and if I do the change would it be save-compatible? Thanks a lot.
I think all you need to is this:Quote:

Thanks a lot Oleo, it did work...there is only a small problem the models are using a sword...so I guess I can't use them anyway...too bad they look fantastic...but quite weird with the sword/spear animation :no:
In any case thanks a lot!!!
Could you post a screenshot in-game perchance? I want to know if it's exactly the one TA posted, and if it is I just want to see it. ~:)

Ah I forgot about the fact that this model has its weapons swapped from the other one. It can be easily fixed if I remember correctly (I am rather tired right now, so I might have forgotten something).Quote:

Their primary weapon will be a sword and their secondary weapon a spear and they should work properly.Code:skeleton fs_swordsman, fs_o_f_spearman
this model will be the one you can see in post 1 of this thread, not the model from post 15.Quote:

after transfering the skin into the mod and changing the weapon animation as stated, is there a way to have them use spear first and sword second?
Hey....just installed the mod and the new spartans look great!
Just one question, I noticed that when they use their spear, it looks much better than the 'original' spartans spear.....as in, it is much shorter and just better looking.
I don't understand the first thing about skins, etc, but is it possible to change the other 'spear' units to look like this new merc unit?
I think you'll have to remodel the unit for that.Quote:

Well reskinning ain't gonna happen :) Thanks for the feedback.
Depends on what you mean by "unbalanced". The Greek dory - and presumably most similar fighting-spears around the world, since the practical demands were the same - were balanced to be grasped about 1/3 of the total lenght of ca. 2.5 meters from the butt, far as I know.
Oh man...This is just too good...Spartan Mercs??...I wish i would have seen this thread before i started my current Mak campaign. The idea of seeing Spartan Mercs crush an enemy flank alongside the Hetaroi or the Hypaspistai may be way too sexy to pass on.
Im interested in using these new spartan models as the bodyguard of the greek generals unforuantly im really bac at computers and dont know how to mod the needed files so i was wondering if anyone had done the same and was able to give me those files?
thanks
Hello, I want to download this awsome mod but both of the download links are broken...
Could you please help me?
Considering that this thread is 3 years old I doubt you get any response from the creator of this minimod. Especially because he was also active 3 years ago!
Well does anybody have this mod installed or just has the files?
It would be divine if someone would share this mod with me and send it to me via e-mail or something.
Keep in mind that the mod was made for EB 0.81, and does not appear to have been updated. Even if you get the files, you still need to implement the changes manually in the current version of EB.
It seems that both of the links you provided are not working.
Could you please post a working link because I would really like this mod for my new Macedonia campaign.
Thanks in advance!
