where can you get Vercingetorix Tools ???

OK,

I do like the tutorials that many have put so much free time into. It is greatly appreciated.

I apologize ahead of time to everyone, I have only modded very little and I have never modded graphics.

I looked in this forum because I cannot afford 3D SMax (to modify models), and I really only want to begin with changing the "head" on the Greek Armored Hoplite to the "head" similar to the standard Greek Hoplite.

If I have read right, do I need to purchase Adobe Photoshop in order to modify the skin textures? I found that it was over $600.

Also do I need this program just to change shields used by a model or figure? (Ex. I want to equip Legionaries with the flat oval shield of the Auxilia instead of the Legionary scutum.)

Please help...

Thanks

Andromachus

You don't need it strictly speaking. To edit textures, you need any program which can edit .dds files. I'm sure there must be some free editors on the net.

As for changing shields, you need 3dsmax. I also wish I had the great but greatly expensive program...

General Note: This sub forum are really for tutorials and questions related to the tutorial. If you have any general questions like these, ask in the general forum, people check there much more often, your questions will be answered quicker

Hey Callatian,
I'm a decently experianced texturer but am new to RTW. Your guide helped me learn how to edit the stats of a unit, thanks for that. My question however is, if all the steps in your guide are followed, plus texture and info card creation, should a faction specific unit appear in custom battle setup? If so, any thoughts on why it doesn't work for me or where I might look to find out? Thanks for any help you can provide,
Snevets

I've answered your question in the General forum. It's far better to post your questions there than in the Scriptorium as the General forum is visited more regularly by experienced RTW modders. In this case, as per his profile Callatian hasn't been around since the 6th April.
