    Default Amazon Pack

    Well here goes. My own attempt at making my own 'mod'. A while back I downloaded a few amazon skins and models. I was bored with RTW as it is and decided to have some fun with it. One of the things I downloaded was a reskin for the orginal amazon unit plus a model that came with a shield and could be used as a hoplite. Using these materials I did some reskinning myself and I created 5 amazon units in the colours of the Seleucids (I plan to do reskins for the other greek factions as well, including the Thracians) using two different skins and two models (and archer and hoplite). The units are working in battles at the moment. I did all the coding and created 5 workable units.

    I want to continue on with this project but I pushed the limit of my skills. I have a list of things I want to do to finish them but I need help or advice.

    -First off I have no unit cards. Does anyone know an easy way to make them or can perhaps help me with it?
    -The shield on the .cas file for my hoplite model is too big. I armed the hoplites with a Sarissa and when they are in formation their pikes are sticking through their shields. I have no access to 3dsmax so I can't resize the shield.
    -For the archer model I'd like to create a second version with a shield on the arms of their bowhands and add another quiver on their backs (they only have one on their hips). And I also want to make an archer model with just an extra quiver on their backs and no shield.
    -I want to use female voices and sounds for them but the ones of the original RTW don't work. I therefore want to use the voices from the Sarmatian Virgins from RTW:BI but I have no clue where to find the soundfiles and I don't know whether the swap from BI is even possible. But maybe I missed something?
    -Perhaps someone would like to test the units as they are now. I think they are balanced but I might have slightly overpowered them.

    Here is a screenshot of the hoplites:

    Those are fantastic skins. I like the armor design,too. Very cool.

    Great work!

    Thanks.:) It is mostly cut and paste from various models I took apart to get what I want. I am still not happy with how the shields turned out. I am gonna try and redo them. They are a bit sloppy on the edges.

    Looking forward to seeing the outcome.

    If there was any way I could help with the trouble spots other than morale support, I would but unfortunately I'm just as lost as you. I imagine there will be somebody happen upon this thread that can help, though.

    Thanks. Well, I think I figured out the shield part. I made a skin that uses a bigger image that will give clearer details. Unfortunately it won't fit on the model properly so now that needs to be changed in 3dsmax as well.:(
