texture/dds converter

[Rik_Vargard]

Mmm you know what? I removed the original loading screens and put a new one name as loading_screen_1 (so there's only one loading screen in game) the game still loads the original ones!

So there's a twist with the

[io]
file_first=true

or what...?

The brightly coloured aztecs!

Rik I would try to run it with the .bat file, and see if it works :)

[Rik_Vargard]

Call me stupid, but what .bat file? The only one I see is from the "lands to conquer" mod, not from M2TW... :(

Do I need to make one, and how do I do that?
Could you please explain?

[Sir Robin the Brave]

1. open notepad
2. type in "medieval2.exe --io.file_first"
3. save in your "SEGA\Medieval II Total War" directory
as skinstart.bat
4. double click and M2TW should start and use your skins

Thanks a lot:) , I created the .bat file and the game loads, but the textures still ain't showing up....

I retextured the "late_northern_captain_england.texture" as you see on the pic above, but it's still the original one that's showing up....

arr... ?

[Sir Robin the Brave]

you may have retextured the battle map one instead of the strat map one

[Rik_Vargard]

heheh lol damn I love you, Sir Robin!
Heh... now to find where the strat map ones are!

But thanks a lot for your time and patience, man! Really appreciated!
