Trading textures (models): SPQR to EB

[Defensore]

Hi everybody, this is my first post here in the forum.

I´ve just made download of EB, and as far as I´ve played, I can tell
it's a great mod.

But, even not being historically correct, I would like to make a personal change here in my own installation of EB.

Have you guys ever played the SPQR mod? Well, I have, and it got
that classical Spartan Hoplite ( with the cape and everything else). So,
I was wondering if it´s possible to use that model in EB.

You see, I just the model. The stats, pictures and everything else can and should remain as in EB (if possible).

So, is there anyway to do it? If so, could somebody tell me?

Thanks in advance! And keep on the amazing work you´ve been doing.

Greetings all the way from Brasil!

Should be. Do you have the SPQR mod yourself? If you do I can give you some instructions how to do it. Now do you wan't the whole unit or just to replace the EB Spartans for SPQR model?

Well, I do have the SPQR mod here in my PC!
I want the appearence of the unit on the battlefield (the spartans and the greek general bodyguard [they are the same right]) of EB to look like the Spartans in SPQR.

Thanks for the reply.

OK. First things first. Open the data folder on the SPQR mod. Find me the unit stats for the SPQR spartans (In EB they would be in RTW\EB\Data\export_descr_unit file. It should be something similar in SPQR).

Also see if you can drag up the battlefield model for the unit (In EB it's found in RTW\EB\Data\descr_model_battle).

Copy both the unit stat entry and the battle model entry to this post. I need to see what I'm working with. Oh the EB files I mentioned are important, because those are the ones you will be changing. So you better know where they are.

He wants to retain their stats though, so I don't think EDU is necessary.

Ok, this is the EDU for them:

Here they are!

By the way, is it possible to make the spartans in EB to use swords? ( I think I´m asking too much, sorry =/ )

Thanks again!
