is EB gonna release units that didn't made it into the game
Units that don't make it into the game are left up to the option of their creators.
But we're gonna use all the model space, so you can't add in extras unless you take out some other models.
Are there any 2 models with the same .cas and same skeleton that are just created to have a second skin useable for the same faction ?
Example from Vanilla RTW :
carthaginian_heavy_infantry and carthaginian_medium_infantry
because if so you are far from using all model spaces.
You don't understand. We're not using ANY vanilla models, we are making 255 new ones.
I thought it was 300?
No, 255 is the limit. 300 was the old unit limit, 500 is the new one. But we won't even come close to that, since the majority of what we want to do relies on new models. A new unit isn't really a new unit if we can't show differences is weapons, armor, and clothing. Much of that relies on modelling. So models are the real bottleneck.
Renaming something and giving it to a new faction does not make it a new unit. So we're really in a tough spot...but we're doing our best.
i'll be running two RTW filesQuote:

I am afraid you don't understand how models work. What counts as another model is not an actual file, but rather a new entry in descr_model_battle.txt. Each entry in DMB.txt counts as one "model slot," and each entry only has one texture per faction. I could use the same .CAS for several different units, but if they must all be available to the same faction, they must all have a new entry in DMB.txt, and thus they all use a different "model."
Khelvan you don't have to explain to me what counts as a "model slot".Quote:

For the "each entry only has one texture per faction" there are ways to come around this and have 2 skins for the same faction in only one entry/model ,but since i "don't understand how models work" you are probably not interested in what i found out.
As a side note : just because you/the EB team doesn't know of a way to have 2 skins for the same faction in one model entry doesn't automatically mean there is no way. It seems some people at EB are really arrogant and think they know everything.
i think you are a bit angry, tell me boy what do you have on your heart.
God, some people have attitude problems...
I was polite and trying to be helpful. You are unpleasant and are assuming things you have no right to. I may not have understood what you are asking for, and I certainly meant no offense, but your response was not called for. You are free to leave if you cannot conduct yourself in a civil manner.Quote:

We do know how to have 2 skins for the same faction.Quote:

You have no right to come in and start throwing insults at us.
Well, there are a few units of which I know that they aren't used anymore, but after seeing what skins are replacing them, I don't even want the old ones anymore! ;)
btw, they are the:
Sacred Band
Sacred Band Cavalry
Lybian Spearmen
all by Prometheus, you could ask him if he could release them.
yeah thanx, i thibk i will
I'm actually more interested in the guys with the big red shields, behind the Libyan Spearmen.. They seem cool..
you mean the SACRED BAND
No, that are celti-iberian spearmen, I don't think they are used anymore (but I'm not sure), Prometheus made those too.
Jesus, is it just me or are there some real wankers popping up on these boards all of a sudden ?
Um.. Who are you referring to here?Quote:

ok but still i don't get it. (i get th one with the .com) but whats wrong with TWC (or the people of it)
i don't know, i was just kidding. i know some people don't like the twc for reasons relating to a tv show or something. i forget.
hmmm ok
Bercause people on the ORG are generally polite and can actually string sentences together.
People on TWC are generally rude and moronic and there seems to be a spate of idiots on these modding forums since EB had threads on TWC
so you're saying i'm rude and moronic, cuz i'm around on TWC (not that often but still). also i'm on the .ORG and i know sum people that are in the same situation like me.

Emperor.
Did I say that ?
Did I say that you were personally rude and moronic ?
Or did I say people on the TWC were generally rude and moronic ?
easy Monkian, it was more a question than a statement
Looked more like a statement to me Dude because of the lack of ?
No worries- my original post was never aimed at you anyway.
i knew it wasn't. but let's forget about it? OK
btw i'm not a . ? ! type of guy.
Ok Ok guys,
Enuff already. So are you gonna release these new tasty units and models and are there any more coming. :smiley2:
Keep up the excellant work EB team
