Can The "forbidden Six" be used as Mounts?

[Tyberius]

Hi guys, I'm somewhat rusty on this modding thing and I had a crazy idea, that maybe has been tested before, so I wanted to know if someone has tried to use the (actually) "forbidden seven" ("Peasant","ChainHlm","HlPlArSH","LArmWCav","MKnight","MSHelm","PlateS" ) as horses. (mounts) it would be great to have units mounted in hazel/grey/white/black/ horses...

howdy Tyberius , good to see you back mate !
.... Not sure about that ... its a a questin for macsen , stazi , Axalon , Caravel ?
But i reckon we could easily double the amount of frames per Bif plate thus doubling the variety of troops we have !
cheers

Hola Tyberius - good question....I've never tried them for mounts. My gut feeling is that they would probably still cause CTDs if given to any faction over #20, but then again, if they were mounts, perhaps the battle engine wouldn't be making those checks for shields etc etc.... so, I'd suggest a trial. It will either work or not, and then we'd all know for sure

Well, Sadly I can confirm, the forbidden 7 cannot be used as mounts either, it works ok for custom battles but it will cause a ctd in campaign.

Good that you trialed it ...saves others the time .
Well it looks like using 2 mounts per Bif Plate , will fit in easily ! .
Doubles the variety of mounted troops .

you mean to optimize the space and squeeze 2 different textures in the same Bif? do you get rid of the "dying" animation to do that? or maybe just keep only one dying animation instead of all 4?

I will try it!
