Indian Kataphract Elephant Bug

[svramj]

both armored and the unarmored Indian elephants in EB uses same model and texture
we'll have to change it look real.

Is possible we import the elephant models from RTR and use it in EB...

[MarcusAureliusAntoninus]

It is possible, but require permission from both mods.

The team is planning on making unique, new skins for all of the elephants.

[svramj]

I saw this in the EB gallery....but when will we get this thing...

[Ludens]

IIRC one the elephants skins made for EB 0.8 got lost. I suppose it's this one.

[Krusader]

The guy who made those disappeared and he didn't submit models or skins for his creations...a shame really.

New elephant models are in the works, but when...dunno.

[svramj]

The Elephants should look like this
here are some models

Indian Elephants






African Elephants


There is also another historical inaccuracy
Only Hindus Pattisainya is available in EB
there should also be Hindus Shulsainya (The once like Pattisainya but with Armour, Round Shield and Longer Spear, and a Mace as a secondary weapon

Have a Look at this


Here you can see some Shulsainya behind those generals

I sincerely hope EB_elephantes would NEVER look like Warhammer figurines.

Actually, MiniMe successfully DID a "EB_minimod of Armoured Elephantes"

Yesyesyes, my precious, now MiniMe has those lovely giant four-archers-per-elephant walking dreadnoughts in his GrandEpeirosCampaigns =)

Sounds like the tanks from vanilla...
They were silly. The armoured ones were virtually indestructible.

I had a battle against the Ptolies yesterday where my pitifull army of 8 cohorts met two full stacks of ptolies, including some elephants with archers. The stupid creatures did one charge through two of my units, then routed (not amok, but from fear) and left the battle. Had they stayed I would probably have lost the battle.
As it was I paused the battle and went to have my dinner. Imagine my surprise when I returned to find the battle summary screen - clear victory. Somehow I hadnt paused it, and my legionaires went on to win the battle without a general directing them!

Better, much better =)
Anyway, Seleukids really had those tanks with four archers, they were mentioned somewhere.

Poor stupid AI is never good at using elephants, he doesn't know how to protect them from skirmishers, and he doesn't understand that they are cavalry, not infantry, never melee, charge only.

For one placeholder, you could use the ones from Webbird Xmasbox 3 - adds some variety if nothing else. maximusminimus' Carthaginian pack has a couple of good ones too. They all use the vanilla model bases so you'll just have to change the texture reference.

I incidentally noticed that the elephant textures seem to be pathed wrong in the 0.81a DMB - they seem to refer to the vanilla data/models/unit/textures folder rather than the EB one. Oh, and the forest elephants just use the kinda bleh vanilla textures. Me, I changed the lot in my copy.

MiniMe send the to me. Just Upload your files to Mega Uploads and give us the download link. So All EB Modders and EB Team Members can use it.

I sincerely hope EB_elephantes would NEVER look like Warhammer figurines.

Actually, MiniMe successfully DID a "EB_minimod of RTR Armoured Elephantes imported in EB 0.8.0, 0.8.1., 0.8.1a", they are completely compatible with EB

Yesyesyes, my precious, now MiniMe has those lovely giant four-archers-per-elephant walking dreadnoughts in his GrandEpeirosCampaigns =)

The sad thing, however is that MiniMe is quite a noob and hasn't any idea how to share it with people via internet.

So if anyone with modding experience is interested, pm MiniMe, I'll send you Ze Files since I'm myself unable to make an installer =)
