But we're gonna use all the model space, so you can't add in extras unless you take out some other models.

Are there any 2 models with the same .cas and same skeleton that are just created to have a second skin useable for the same faction ?
Example from Vanilla RTW :
carthaginian_heavy_infantry and carthaginian_medium_infantry
because if so you are far from using all model spaces.
I thought it was 300?
No, 255 is the limit. 300 was the old unit limit, 500 is the new one. But we won't even come close to that, since the majority of what we want to do relies on new models. A new unit isn't really a new unit if we can't show differences is weapons, armor, and clothing. Much of that relies on modelling. So models are the real bottleneck.
Renaming something and giving it to a new faction does not make it a new unit. So we're really in a tough spot...but we're doing our best.

I didn't ask if you use vanilla models. i asked if you have any models with identical .cas and skeleton like CA did in vanilla for some models just to get 2 different skins for the same faction into the game.Originally Posted by khelvan
The Libyan Spearman and Poeni Infantry are just an example for this.
I am afraid you don't understand how models work. What counts as another model is not an actual file, but rather a new entry in descr_model_battle.txt. Each entry in DMB.txt counts as one "model slot," and each entry only has one texture per faction. I could use the same .CAS for several different units, but if they must all be available to the same faction, they must all have a new entry in DMB.txt, and thus they all use a different "model."
Khelvan you don't have to explain to me what counts as a "model slot".Originally Posted by khelvan
Actually it was me over at the TWC who made you aware of the limit for model slots before patch 1.2 came out even though i had made a little miscount and thought the limit was 245 and not 255.
For the "each entry only has one texture per faction" there are ways to come around this and have 2 skins for the same faction in only one entry/model ,but since i "don't understand how models work" you are probably not interested in what i found out.
As a side note : just because you/the EB team doesn't know of a way to have 2 skins for the same faction in one model entry doesn't automatically mean there is no way. It seems some people at EB are really arrogant and think they know everything.

God, some people have attitude problems...
I'm still not here
I was polite and trying to be helpful. You are unpleasant and are assuming things you have no right to. I may not have understood what you are asking for, and I certainly meant no offense, but your response was not called for. You are free to leave if you cannot conduct yourself in a civil manner.Originally Posted by nwnzocker
Edit: If you are referring to using the merc skin, we have plans for using it, yes.

You have no right to come in and start throwing insults at us.

Well, there are a few units of which I know that they aren't used anymore, but after seeing what skins are replacing them, I don't even want the old ones anymore! ;)
btw, they are the:
Sacred Band
Sacred Band Cavalry
Lybian Spearmen
all by Prometheus, you could ask him if he could release them.
yeah thanx, i thibk i will
We do not sow.
I'm actually more interested in the guys with the big red shields, behind the Libyan Spearmen.. They seem cool..

No, that are celti-iberian spearmen, I don't think they are used anymore (but I'm not sure), Prometheus made those too.
Jesus, is it just me or are there some real wankers popping up on these boards all of a sudden ?
Look what these bastards have done to Wales. They've taken our coal, our water, our steel. They buy our homes and live in them for a fortnight every year. What have they given us? Absolutely nothing. We've been exploited, raped, controlled and punished by the English — and that's who you are playing this afternoon Phil Bennett's pre 1977 Rugby match speech

The one or two idiots popping up and insulting the EB team who are working their arses off doing a fantastic job on a mod they're not even being paid for.
I'm guessing these people are from TWC
