Proposals for next RTG Open Beta

Here is a list of areas that will be included in the next version of the RTG Open Beta:
  • Around 50 brand new unit sprites for many of the unit reskins, unlocked units etc that feature in the Open Beta, more info available here
  • Poeni spearmen now use the original vanilla primary skeleton --- fixes shield glitch with overarm animations
  • Tweaked a few hoplite / pikemen shield values
  • Added 3 omitted regions from descr_mercenaries, tweaked recruitment pools as necessary
  • Replaced iberian infantry with carthaginian infantry in Carthage starting armies --- incorporates RTG Open Beta hotfix
  • Unlocked poeni infantry texture and gloss files, repaired DMB texture reference that was previously omitted

The next Open Beta release will probably be available in two different download formats. The EXE installer will still be available, which will need to be installed in the \data directory. Also, a self-extracting ZIP file will be made available for those who wish to extract and install the text files manually, which will be useful if you already have other mods installed.

In addition, the sprites pack will probably be a seperate download because of its large size - around 30MB uncompressed. This will probably be another ZIP file.

Thanks.
