Relationship between export_descr_unit and descr_model_battle

[Epistolary Richard]

More confused now, I thought the gauls in the texture line and the model_sprite might have something to do with it, so I changed it to the below.

type				barb_peasant_germ
skeleton			fs_dagger							
indiv_range			40
texture				germans, data/models_unit/textures/unit_barb_infantry_german.tga
model_flexi			data/models_unit/unit_barb_peasant_high.cas, 8
model_flexi			data/models_unit/unit_barb_peasant_med.cas, 15
model_flexi			data/models_unit/unit_barb_peasant_low.cas, 30
model_flexi			data/models_unit/unit_barb_peasant_lowest.cas, max
model_sprite		germans, 60.0, data/sprites/germans_barb_peasant_sprite.spr
model_tri			400, 0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f

and I now get a _Dacian_ peasant in the unit

And indeed if I change the soldier type to barb_peasant_germ and create new officer peasants with the Briton, Slave and Dacian texture & model lines then they all appear Dacian...

That's somewhat strange, but there is a "default" texture that loads with each .cas file, in the case of the barbarian peasants, it must be the Dacian texture.

To fix it, make a new subfolder called "textures" in the models folder. Copy the unit_barb_infantry_german.tga.dds file into it and rename it, something like unit_barb_infantry_germanoff.tga.dds, then make the same change to the texture line in descr_model_battle. You should see the German texture load up next time.

One note - You're going to need to use Verc's unpacker to get at the texture files if you haven't done so already.

I'll give that a go, thanks a lot!
