In any case thanks a lot!!!

Ah I forgot about the fact that this model has its weapons swapped from the other one. It can be easily fixed if I remember correctly (I am rather tired right now, so I might have forgotten something).

all you have to do (apart from the other changes) is change the skeleton line:

old:

Code:

skeleton			fs_o_f_spearman

new:

Code:

skeleton			fs_swordsman, fs_o_f_spearman

Their primary weapon will be a sword and their secondary weapon a spear and they should work properly.

this model will be the one you can see in post 1 of this thread, not the model from post 15.

hey, i was refered to this site because i too was looking for a new spartan model. i have read this thread and have one question...

after transfering the skin into the mod and changing the weapon animation as stated, is there a way to have them use spear first and sword second?

Hey....just installed the mod and the new spartans look great!

Just one question, I noticed that when they use their spear, it looks much better than the 'original' spartans spear.....as in, it is much shorter and just better looking.

I don't understand the first thing about skins, etc, but is it possible to change the other 'spear' units to look like this new merc unit?

I think you'll have to remodel the unit for that.

You'd have to make new skins for all those units to do that.

Okay, so that's why other hoplites spears are really long and look kind of off balance in their hands?

Well reskinning ain't gonna happen :) Thanks for the feedback.

Depends on what you mean by "unbalanced". The Greek dory - and presumably most similar fighting-spears around the world, since the practical demands were the same - were balanced to be grasped about 1/3 of the total lenght of ca. 2.5 meters from the butt, far as I know.
