Modding question: generals in custom battles

[stupac]

This may be useful for others trying to participate in the video contest. I'm sure there is a way to mod in real family member generals into custom battles rather than the lesser generals/captains. I've tried to figure it out by looking at the EDU and the descr_model_battle but I can't seem to find the entries that determine the models for family members and mercenary generals. If I could find that, then I could just copy it over the entry for the hellenic lesser general in the DMB and that should do it I think. What file is this info located in?

My first post is probably just a little too confusing. All I'm trying to do is replace the lesser general/captain model with the family member/mercenary general model. Anybody know how I could do this?

You would have to replace the captain model altogether. Copy the family member model file(s?), paste them outside the folder, rename it/them to whatever the captain files are called and paste it into the captains folder. Back up all the files you use as well.

That's an idea, I had thought of that, but I couldn't seem to locate the files in the data folders. I looked in all the models* folders and couldn't seem to find any that matched. I'll look at them again sometime and see if I can figure out how to do that, but I figured that this must be changeable through configuration files somehow. Thanks for the idea though, strategos.

descr_character.txt Go to the entries of the captains and change the battle model for the captains to the same one as the general battle models (just copy and paste).

Perfect, thank you foot, worked like a charm.
