skins, sounds and elephants

[aesadile]

i have created a unit for the Egyptians based on the Seleucid War Elephant (the un-armoured elephant with archers) and i have managed to get the soldiers on the elephants back to be egyptian, and i have managed to find out how to change the skin in descr_model_battle.txt, but i am stumped on how to make a skin for it (and if i knew, it would probably be shoddy at best). i know it will entail extractions, somehow, and a tga/dds editor(of which i have none). Unit card and unit info pictures editing know how aswell, would be appreciated.

Also how to get the sounds such as when you click the unit "war elephants" "elephants" etc. this is a problem i have with many units, no sounds when i clicked on one (elephant sounds/groans/trumpets work)

thanks in advance to all who help



if it works i will probably release it (with credits to helping people)

i am also having issues when installing new UI (unit and unit_info) for existing units, i am sure it is to do with the Pak files being read first, but i cannot think of a way round it...

help please
