Working fine for me 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 love your mod http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/smile.gif
In every new version you have more the feeling of beeing an ancient leader of a polis or state.

You´ve forgot to write in your readme that you have to change the jpg into tga files (edit: I didn´t see that you have written that in your post before with the file download. sorry).

Hey komninos: Why don´t you add names to the provinces at the map?

http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wave.gif Hi thank god it is OK with you ... what I fear is that you put it over the previus one thus I have left some thing out ...

Any way I am glad it does work ... now the names on the map ... I think I will do on some later date Hey I might just put them in Greek http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wink.gif that will add to the fealing. I would like to go over the names with Rosacrux It is realy difficalt to get them since most maps we can fined are from Roman times and have the Roman names.

Yeah, greek letters would be good, but I hope, that I can read this letters.
You know, you are greek and you have no problems with reading this greek letters, but my knowledge in greek letters is not very well.
I hope, if its possible, that you can make the names so,that all can read it.

I 've gone though the files again ... I just couldn't find something missing from there????? I will go though it again today and see what I can do.

Try to follow the procedure ... I think you missed something most probably the problem is with the flags
Check that these exist
Medieval\campmap\pieces\Units\Christian\Shields\Hellenic
Medieval\campmap\pieces\Units\Muslim\Shields\Hellenic

I do believe that an installer would fix these issues. I thought that one was going to be made? I want to play this mod, but I wont install it without an installer, you should maybe think about creating one. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/biggrin.gif

Thanks man,

Hi ShadesPanther,

Does it work for you? I will fix the readme file.
Lancer6969 yes I am trying to find someone to build an installer.

Hi guys,

Any commens sugestions, ... resent triumfs?

I am building this Trojan thing but is going bad ... some nasty crushes have taken the fun out of it http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif

Just 13 unit types and 12 piecess of land and all I get in in battle crushes http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/mecry.gif

I think you have to have at least 8 factions or it will crash

Thanks for the compliment Panther. By the way, the Pope faction probably counts as the 8th faction. You made the same comment about my mod not having 8 factions when only 7 were listed. I figured poeple knew that the Pope was gonna be in it.

Im not too fussy am I?? http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/joker.gif

No hard feelings, sorry if my typing comes off harsh, I dont mean it to. I just really want to play this mod, but I wont install it without an installer with all the issues at hand. Komninos was nice enough to let me know that someone was working on one, so I will shut up Thanks Komninos for your patience with me.

komninos

Actually ...

No one is working at the moment ... I am in search of such a fellow ... Thing is that the mod will install nicely (I hope) If you follow the instructions ...

I know all the needed files are in there. The file structure of the MTW is a bit difficult any way so any time a file or two might be missed.

Lancer6969 try the new version but remember to transform the map jpegs to tgas I think that was missing in the readme. Most of the zips are made to install from the mtw root directory and you only have to copy/rename two directories and thats only for saving space and download time.

I think you should try to install it ... it will take some manual effort and 10min. I have no news from Sir Moody ... I still think he has missed something in there.

Any way what do you have to miss http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wink.gif

Hey Komninos,

I have a little teaser for you, I've been working on a Hoplite model, and here's some work-in-progress:
http://chronicles.metw.net/hellinic/hoplite.jpg
The primary faction colour (the purple will be replaced with this colour) will be seen at the horse hairs (historical term?) attached to the helmets and a rim at the bottom of the Hoplites skirt. You showed me a picture of how the Hoplite should look like, seen at the right, so I hope the model is historically accurate.

Cheers, Duke John

I know that after the LotR would reach v.1.0 you would came with something good Thanks
===========================================================
Edit
-----
The hoplite in the picture is the Athenean hoplite I sent you one with the Spartan and though similar the Spartan are a bit more militaristic http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wink.gif Exelent work again
===========================================================

Now ...
We can't have them sitting and resting ... there is no such pose in MTW http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wink.gif so the left hand of the image should be bent across the chest holding the Shield.
As I have seen you have mixed up the hands it appears that the left is holding the spear. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wink.gif

One more thing ... I have mixed the faction Color and used the Green and the purple as secondary can you do this small change.

It looks awesome,but i still cant get it to work.

When i select the faction,and click continue,the game freezes.
Somehow i cant access the readme,it didnt come with the files.

These are old animations. I have made new ones specifically for the Hoplites. You will see the Hoplite holding his hand across his chest in the BIF. I also made a new fighting animation where he holds his shield in front of him and stabs with the spear over the shield.

I see that you have much to learn http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wink.gif MTW mirrors the animations, there are only 4 angles while there should be 8. So at one angle you will see the "right" hand holding the spear and from the opposite angle the hoplite holds the spear in the "left" hand.

For technical reasons I can't get the green faction color to work right. The background colour is R:0 G:128 B:0 and after rendering and applying a palette some green faction colours are replaced with this background colour. This means that the unit is transparant in some places where it shouldn't be transparent. For this reason I used purple faction colours in most places. This means that you have to keep in mind the secondary colours.
If you want this changed then I suggest you start manually changing the greens and purples http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/biggrin.gif

Hi Duke john,

I see, I have the bif file they are exelent. I have made some shields for them I will make a post with them.

Good work can't wait for the dark age hoplites with bonze armor.

Cheers
==========================================================
Hagbard la Suede,

OK,
You have to build these two folders
\campmap\pieces\Hellenic
\campmap\Portraits\Hellenic
to make them go to the directory \campmap\pieces and "Copy&Paste" the viking folder. then rename it to Hellenic
For the Portraits folder go ther and right-klick->new-folder. then name that one Hellenic. Then copy the Catholic, Orthodox, Muslim and Pagen foldes in to Hellenic. Then do the Unzipping.
Unzip the HTW-v1_Campmap1.zip and HTW-v1_Campmap2.zip in the main directory.
Then unzip HTW-v1_textures-men1.zip, HTW-v1_textures-men2.zip and HTW-v1_textures-men3.zip in the Textures directory.
Finaly in the Textures\Campmap\Hellenic you will fined two .jpg images open them and save them as .TGA

That should do it. I know it is a bit complicated but I can't have an installer...

Komninos, I forget or didn't know that you wanted Dark Age Hoplites too. I will make them however, but how much do you want them to be different. Any other bronze armour plates? Different helmet?

Also, are you perpaps interested into Hellinic Time Commanders? We can make a little pack of units and battle maps and historical campaigns. Perhaps even play them over the internet with some similar minded modders. I've lended a book from the library with some some maps and break downs of armies. I can make a few summaries of battles and then we can start recreating Greek history. So does that sound like fun? Or are you too busy modding? http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wink.gif

Cheers, Duke John

komninos

Hi Duke John,

Check the images from the links I sent you (In your Tevern)they are a bit different from the rest.
Any way you can have the hoplites as they are but with bronze armor and protection also above the knee.
===========================================================

On the other matter ... I am good at making units but not battle maps
On the other hand ... yes I find modding much more pleasing ... it is a perversion you get after some time ... We might just insert it in the v&v of MTW http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wink.gif

Komninos YOUR MOD ROCKS i ve played the original only once since i ve got your mod http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/biggrin.gif my spartan phalanxes subfued the whole greek world
I have some suggestions for the later releases: first i believe that the spartan hoplites should be made vastly superior over the other hoplites also you could restrain them only to sparta (which was what actually happened) make their morale smth like 12 and the others 6 (the fact that the athenean army wouldnt dare to step out the walls to face the spartan enomotia (in peloponnesean war) supports that).I also believe that if you could change the religions to political systems (like cath=democrats, oligarch=orthodox,monarch=muslim,pagan=tribal, heretic=slaves) which were more important than religion in that era. Ive seen the map in this thread and it would be cool to have the map in that style (the satt map's cool but kinda dark http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/frown.gif ) and the greek names would be the best http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/biggrin.gif

Hi hellenes,

Thanks for the comments.
Now ... making the Spartans any better it would unbalance the game. Actualy the Spartan society had a mortal flow. Its grouth rate was very low. I tried to depict that by making the Spartan Hoplite built time 3 years.

Spartans were good, very good actualy, but not unbiten. The Messinians, Argians and Atheneans had a number of victories against them. They won the Peloponesian war but it was there doom.

In the new update Spartans will only be built in south Pelopones. They will be part of the Hellenic Leage for the Persian Wars (if I do the leage). Then as was the original mod. They will get a higher moral that before and the time to built might be raised to 4 years.

Hi flip,

It's been some time ...
Nice map ... DJ and Welly have rebuilt this map in a brighter form. I was thinking can you all make them in JPG zip them and put them on-line for download? Any one can use the map he likes most http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...cons/smile.gif

This from the map reqest thread I have started ... It is from a simple map I have made for Thermopilae.

The Greek Camp
The passage
Hercules Path
The attack -- Strang I put 16 units to the persians ... notice the small red dot in the map http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...icons/wink.gif
The path is known Enemies in the rear
Even more are comming it is our doom ... thank god I could not give them renforcements http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/biggrin.gif
Hope you like them ... they are ment to give you something till the Persian wars update comes out.
===========================================================
Sorry Bludhall, http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/pat.gif
