Mod Idea Animal: Total War?

**Isaacdaninja** · 04-29-2005, 17:32

That's great. I'm haveing a few minor problems with improting animations but no real problem. I still need to work out how to edit vertexes on units but 3d studio MAX Is a bit different than the programs i'm used to using. Do any of you know where the RTW unit.txt stuff is? I'm trying to edit some units but I don't know where they are to open.

Are they in Pak files?

**GaugamelaTC** · 04-29-2005, 21:37

I think they might be in the Pak files, that's what I've heard anyway, what kinda weapons you given the rat scum? Swords probably the best but its up to you.

**GaugamelaTC** · 04-30-2005, 17:51

Isaac. Have you decided which weapon your gonna use for the Rat scum infantry. Also for the rut scum phalangites, I was thinking you could have a mace for their secondary weapon.Isaacdaninja.

**Isaacdaninja** · 05-03-2005, 16:53

I go with you on The Rat Scum Pha......s having maces as secondry weapons.
Rat Scum Infantry are going to have just spears and big shields like Roman Town watch.

So what dya think of the 2 extra possible factions. Tha alliance of crustaceans and amphibious mammals and fish people. Is there eough variety in these groups to have a few units?

CRAAZY Idea

can't whait to see the result

**GaugamelaTC** · 05-10-2005, 19:50

Thanks for your comments tutankamon! Isaacdaninja how are the rats coming along! I thought personally that regarding the other two factions we should not include them.. at least this version any way. What do you think?

For the alliance of bugs and insects you need... dum dum daa

Ok guys sorry i've been away for a couple of days my internet is not working. I'm going to update the unit list tomorrow and include some drafts for the other factions. Plus a surprise faction draft!
General Announcement:
Callout for modders. We particularly need modellers and people to make units. Possibly music editors and campaign map editors. Also does anyone know how to edit the faction logos?

Ginger thanks for your ideas I'll include them in your name in the unit list on the first page. Have you got any more and would you like to help out here?
Everybody interested keep watching that unit and faction post its gonna be changing. I will start to introduce a new post for anything to do with a possible campaign. This is only if we can get a campaign mapper.

Heavy Squirrel Infantry
80 per unit, spears, shields, fight in four ranks, good morale, can sap, defend well vs rats

Guinea Pig Trackers
swords, smalle shields, light armour (like chainmail), short bows, fast, can sap, average morale, 80

Hedge Hog Heavy Pikemen

pikemen, good morale, 100, medium shiels-damn good armour due to spikes, no sapping (too big and lumbering for tunnels)

Mole Medium Infantry
Can can deploy anywhere (try that out), 80, armour, swords, shields, average morale, may run amok(their blind eh?).

Gerbil Cavalry
fast moving, javelins, shields small, no armour, swords.

Mice Ballistae(have a wild guess)

Hamster Legionaries

how bout it folks?

**GaugamelaTC** · 05-15-2005, 17:15

I like it faceless hoplite! Especially the gerbil cavalry. The rodents haven't got much cavalry. The hedgehog phalangites I think would be a great inclusion. Thanks for your ideas but we may not be able to include all of them, as there are already a lot of rodent ones.

**Isaacdaninja** · 05-21-2005, 12:33

Yeah the Rodents need some kind of cavalry. I don't really think we should have the two extra factions, it will just take too long and will clog up everything. We need to keep it quite simple otherwise we are overloaded we to-be-created-units.

And (wait for it) NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My Rome: Total War disk has snapped in two, I know it's a fiendish crime but I ask for salvation and will get another one, (it was disk one to, just my luck) and I still gant find those unit txt files, help me.

**GaugamelaTC** · 05-21-2005, 17:14

Ok your right Isaac. What sort of unit texts do you need. What do they look like/say. I may not know how to mod but I know most of the folders pretty well.
