Romani 1.1 skins and models fix by DS

[Darth Stalin]

Hello all EB fans!
This is Darth Stalin's Legionary Model & Skin Fix for EB 1.1.
This package includes old EB 0.81 models and skins for Imperial Legionary, Impearial Praetorians and Post marian Evocatae cohorts, at least as long as EB Team does not submit the latest version of skins/models, resized to fit the rest of EB models and skins.

This fix is prepared to be used with "vanilla EB" or "TWFanatic's Phalanx mod" and has appropriate files modded.


To install the package:
1. as "vanilla EB": unzip the "basic_EB_files.zip" into main RTW directory where you have your EB installed and overwrite the files if necessary.

2. as "TWFanatic's mod": first, install the "vanilla" as in 1., then unzip the "TWFanatic_files.zip" into main RTW directorywhere you have your EB installed. This will overwrite the "mp game edu backup/export_descr_units" and "sp game edu backup/export_descr_units" files, as well as export_descr_units file in the main Eb/data folder.

ATTENTION!
Always backup your current files before installing this package! The fix has been tested, but nonetheless a wise modder/user ALWAYS backs up his files before changing/overwriting them...

Now you have appropriate skins and models to play with use of Imperial Legions, Evocati and Praetorians.
Enjoy!

ATTENTION!
There was a typo in "basic_EB_files" EDUs, found in Eb/data, Eb/sp game edu backup and Eb/mp game edu backup!

Updated files are uploaded just now, yet for those who have already downloaded it, here's the solution:
In all EDUs mentioned above please find the following section:

 ;525
type             roman infantry first legionary cohort ii
dictionary       roman_infantry_legionary_first_cohort_ii      ; Cohortes Imperatoria
category         infantry
class            heavy
voice_type       General_1
soldier          roman_infantry_cohorsimperatoria_evocata, 50, 0, 1.2

and DELETE BOLDED PART OF THE CODE (the "_evocata")

Great job Comrade!

Custom stickied for me, moved upwards for you...

[Darth Stalin]

You're welcome!
Judging for the number of lookings into this thread, it seems that the fix is at least interesting for EB players - at least those that play Romani...

Have fun with that!

What is the difference between the current version and the older ones?

What is the difference between the current version and the older ones?

They were much higher resolution models and skins, and look like weird big headed 6 feet tall midgets (when compared to) the "normal" RTW skins.

The skins by themselves are awesome, but they fit more in MTW2 than RTW

Since this is a matter of aesthetics and not a fix to a major problem, would you like this moved to the unofficial mods forum where it can be better seen and not lost amongst bugreports?

[Olaf The Great]

oop...Opera screwed up and I replied again to this.

[Darth Stalin]

@MarcusAureliusAntoninus:

OK, no problem!
If you can, please move the thread into Unofficial Mod section.

-Is it save compatible? As I'm in the middle of my Campaign !

-If it is ,Then does it use the old unit cards and UI as well?

-And How about first Cohorts?

Thanks in advance

[candelarius]

Nice idea, I had been thinking of making just such a mod myself when I was playing RTW...

[mucky305]

The LS reskin that I have been working on is finished. I will be posting a link and hopefully some screenies shortly.

[Mediteran]

hey, just a question, what exactly is wrong with romans in eb 1.1? and is this compatible with the sprites fix?
