    Default Editing units

    I'm having trouble finding what I need in the scriptorium. I am attempting unit editing (script files, ghraphics, etc.). Just wondering how much work one would have to do in order to change a units weapon, for example giving a Saxon Keel a sword instead of a spear. Thanks in advance

    Thanks, but err, what program should I use to edit the files? I'm a little lost here, having spent most of my modding time on MTW.

    You need 3DS Max to edit units for RTW and you need Vercengetorix's CAS importer

    to get them to load / export.

    You can use the import function of that with Gmax as well, but unfortunately the export part does not work on that program, so you'd have to find someone with 3DS Max to send your Gmax model to, to get them to convert it for you.
    Not used mods before? Looking for something small and fun?!

    Does either cost anything?

    A few more questions

    1. How does one go about creating the Unit cards and Review panels(sorry forgot name)?
    2. How does one change colors for units? Is this automatic, or must it be specified within the graphics file?
    3. A little off topic, but does 3DS Max also work for M2TW units? Do have to go through the same process for editing units for M2TW?

    3d Max costs a small fortune (about £2500) GMax is free. But as Mak said limited to import only.
    1.I think you can use Gmax to make unit cards or it is possible to take screen shots in game and then edit them with Photoshop/Gimp ect..
    2. If you mean skinning see here, for Photoshop or here for Gimp (which is free)
    3. I think you have to use Milkshape for MTW2, it's much cheaper than Max though
