Parthian Heavy Infantry

[Epistolary Richard]

Hi there!
I found in the textures file theres an entry:
UNIT_EASTERN_HEAVY_INFANTRY_PARTHIA.TGA.DDS
Parthia doesnt have heavy infantry- is this the unit card for heavy spearmen?

No, the files in the textures folder are the skins for the models. The unit cards are in the UI\units\ folder.

The unit card is designated by the following line in the unit's export_descr_unit entry:

dictionary       east_heavy_infantry      ; Heavy Spearmen

So in this case, the game will look in the UI\units\ folder for the faction you're controlling for a file called #east_heavy_infantry as knoddy says.

Hi

I have added #east_heavy_infantry to the folder rome total war/data/packs/data/ui/parthia but no luck yet

Can anyone tell me where I have gone wrong?

Does it have to be re-packed?

The correct path must be:
Rome-TotalWar\Data\ui\units\parthia

There you must put your file #east_heavy_infantry.

If you have the game with the packs, thus you have to create that folder and put inside the file. As the game won't find the card in the pack it will look for in that folder.

Monkwarrior,

Thankyou very much that was extremely helpful

Thanks everybody

One last silly question- the colour of the card icon- you would need to open up the TGA right?

Once again thanks

yes you r right in order to edit the unit card u must open the TGA file. use a program like paintshop pro or some such thing. make sure when u save the file u save it back as a tga cos some programs will save in a different format

cheers
