Question: changing the spear of phalanx

[wlesmana]

Yea, I know about that.
I'd like to change the graphic, not just the length of the spear. For instance, giving them a very long trident instead of the default spear. Is this possible or limited by the engine?

Thanks for the help!

Giving them a different shaped weapon, such as a trident, would require changing the model in 3dsmax

The phalanx unita use an external .cas file for the spear model (data/models/weapon_hoplite_pike_high.cas and low).
The primary weapon model part (from the unit's .cas file) is shown under some circumstances when not used (sometimes on the walls and outside the battle area when marching. Inside the battle area and on the ground (not on the walls) you see the external weapon model. You can edit that model (it worked for me). The texture is used for 2 models - the high poly model and the low poly model for the longer distances.

Aaah, got it. Thanks, LAca.
Damn, it's a bit of a hassle now since if I edit the .cas of file ALL phalanx would get it :/

Unfortunately...
I really dont understand why they had to do it this way...
