This work for 0.81a? I haven't checked it out yet...

**Oleo** · 03-09-2007, 13:51

I havent had time to make the changes to the 0.81a files yet, Ill have some time this weekend.

I dont know which files have been adapted by the 0.81a patch, but I am pretty sure edu or dmb is one of them, so the mod probably wont work yet.

Copy-pasting the relevant entries into the 0.81a text files isn't terribly difficult though. I use the Agart spartan skin for the KH bodyguards myself, on the grounds that royal guards without a fair bit of bling thrown in just aren't trying.

I found the time to do this this afternoon, the link in the first post is updated to a version for 0.81a.

I would like to replace the normal Spartiates Hoplitai unit currently in the EB mod for the Super-rich skin Teleklos posted here. Is that possible? what should I do to get that super skin for my regular Spartiates Hoplitai? and if I do the change would it be save-compatible? Thanks a lot.

I think all you need to is this:

Go to your install folder\eb\data and make a backup of descr_model_battle.txt and then open this file.

Find this section:

Code:

; Hellenistic infantry - Hoplitai Spartiates 

type				hellenistic_infantry_spartiateshoplitai
skeleton			fs_o_f_spearman 				;combat spear
indiv_range			40
texture				greek_cities, eb/data/models_unit/textures/EBUNIT_SPW_GREEK_SPARTAN_HOPLITE_GREEK.TGA
model_flexi			eb/data/models_unit/ebunit_SPW_unit_greek_spartan_hoplite_high.cas, 15
model_flexi			eb/data/models_unit/ebunit_SPW_unit_greek_spartan_hoplite_med.cas, 30
model_flexi			eb/data/models_unit/ebunit_SPW_unit_greek_spartan_hoplite_low.cas, 40
model_flexi			eb/data/models_unit/ebunit_SPW_unit_greek_spartan_hoplite_lowest.cas, max
model_sprite		greek_cities, 60.0, eb/data/sprites/hellenistic/ebsprite_hellenistic_infantry_spartiateshoplitai_all.spr
model_tri			400, 0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f

and change the 5 instances of ebunit_SPW_unit_greek_spartan_hoplite(_greek):

Code:

; Hellenistic infantry - Hoplitai Spartiates 

type				hellenistic_infantry_spartiateshoplitai
skeleton			fs_o_f_spearman 				;combat spear
indiv_range			40
texture				greek_cities, eb/data/models_unit/textures/EBUNIT_AGART_HELLENISTIC_INFANTRY_SPARTAN.TGA
model_flexi			eb/data/models_unit/EBUNIT_AGART_HELLENISTIC_INFANTRY_SPARTAN_high.cas, 15
model_flexi			eb/data/models_unit/EBUNIT_AGART_HELLENISTIC_INFANTRY_SPARTAN_med.cas, 30
model_flexi			eb/data/models_unit/EBUNIT_AGART_HELLENISTIC_INFANTRY_SPARTAN_low.cas, 40
model_flexi			eb/data/models_unit/EBUNIT_AGART_HELLENISTIC_INFANTRY_SPARTAN_lowest.cas, max
model_sprite		greek_cities, 60.0, eb/data/sprites/hellenistic/ebsprite_hellenistic_infantry_spartiateshoplitai_all.spr
model_tri			400, 0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f

Thanks a lot Oleo, it did work...there is only a small problem the models are using a sword...so I guess I can't use them anyway...too bad they look fantastic...but quite weird with the sword/spear animation

In any case thanks a lot!!!
