A horse of a different color

[dclare4]

Hi guys,

What determines the horse color that a unit rides on? I want to mount some fine fellows on greys but I keep getting chestnuts. Can this be changed? Can there be more mounts - unit specific mounts (with their own unique saddle cloths) particularly? - per faction?

Thanks,
Clare

I suppose it is the mount type: light horse, medium horse, heavy horse, generals horse. I haven't tested it though.

At the moment i think it's one texture per horse type per faction. I've created different coloured horses within one faction by editing the following files:

descr_mount.txt has the basic mount list. copy an existing light horse or other and call it
type grey horse
class horse
model horse_grey

Then in descr_model_battle copy and paste an existing horse and call it horse_grey too. make it look to your new grey tga texture when used by the specific faction.

Then in export_descr_units make your unit use grey horse

hope this helps.
