Glad you're enjoying 'em

While I'm here, can anyone give me a step-by-step on how to get gothic knights playable for Scotland and make them look like HRE still? There's more to it than just the EDU file, which is the only part I'm really familiar with. I'm sure it involves copying unit meshes and such around, but not sure exactly what I have to do. I think it's the easiest way to approach one of the above screenshot requests if I can just put both under my control as Scotland to get the shot(s) I want.

Hi Foz !

I think the easiest way is to load a custom battle on Scottish Highlands, choose either HRE or Scots as your own faction, deploy as close to your ally (the other faction) as possible and rush on over to them, then march overlapping them and mimick their moves. Give the enemy a similarly slow unit so hopefully you get in your position first. It is tricky because you may not get there first.

About the unit change, might be an idea ot learn how to do this anyway but for the screenshot I'd say you'll probably make quicker progress with a custom battle HRE + Scots as allies. I have'nt done that myself but can point you to this thread where I think I saw a mention of how to change factions for a unit. There was also a thread in the modding forum if I'm not mistaken. Whacker was also modding in some units for the Byzantines, I don't think he finished but was looking into it about a month back.

Question : how do I remove the fps / time display in Cinematic Editor ?

JEEEEEZ.......

Speechless... this is why I have been part of this forum for years.

Thank you very much. Appreciate it greatly. Those are absolutely STUNNING.
Those MUST go into the Cineditor screenshot thread in the main .com forum. TOTAL carnage.

BTW some of them are not showing up, just an FYI, maybe broken links.

Thanks again to you as well Foz !

In between making sigs for others I made one for myself from one of your earlier shots.
I'll also post this to the Broken Crescent mod forum for the public once I've managed to get it just right:

If either of you want me to have a go at one for you I'll do it.
Might take me a while to get to it because I have a backlog, but I will if you want me to.

Wow. That tercio82ul9.jpg shot is straight up Warhammer Battle army book cover art :)

**Foz** · 05-30-2007, 22:29

Nice work Ars Moriendi. Are those shopped? I see what appears to be sharpening in several pictures, and if I had one comment to make it would be that they are a bit over sharpened, enough that background trees look really weird in some of the shots. You may get some mileage out of the unsharp mask instead - it achieves a lot of the same visual effect, but without the edge whiting sharpening can sometimes cause.

As others have said, though, that's some very nice stuff!

Here are some shots you might want for your Papal States Army request. I wasn't sure exactly what you wanted though, so I understand if none suit. I also couldn't help but edit these - they were so drab that I had to do something about it, lol.

WOOHOOO !!! Awesome ! Totally awesome ! THANKS !
Only I JUST finished that sig, found a shot on my HD. Anyway looks like I'm going to have to do it again. LOL !

Thanks. I actually took an entire screenshot and just forced it to the appropriate size. Amazingly, the stretching isn't very noticeable at all - much less than I initially thought it would be.

In other news, what follows is the only usable screenshot I've managed to get for that request so far. And by usable I mean I was able to get men from both units in it, and got the ones in main focus to at least face the camera. Would you believe they've been turning their backs, facing all different ways, just trying like hell to avoid having a nice picture taken. I realize it's not exactly a great pic, but I wanted to post it anyway as more of an excuse to tell the story than anything

Hopefully I can come up with something better soon.

LOL ! Yeah I know exactly what you mean. That is a hard request, specially to get them fighting together. That is a good shot though, only their disdain for each other is quite palpable, LOL. Look at the GK on the left he does'nt wanna see anything of the Scots!

Did you try rendering any video yet ? I think with your rig it would be beautiful. Takes forever to make a good video though.
