Banners for rebels in strat map

**Monkwarrior** · 10-21-2007, 17:34

I've been unable to find something about this question.

I was trying to set up some new banners for rebels settlements, when the settlement is empty or out of the sight of the units/agents.
After many attempts I succeded in puting the new banners in game, but I was surprised

by the following result: (I've used images as they are quite self-explanatory)

Unless somebody can show me where this aspect is coded (any text file?) I'm now thinking that this "silly" question is hardcoded, as the game is using the original faction-to-culture assignation instead of the new one (descr_sm_faction).

Try fiddling with descr_banners.txt

it has section that includes

faction thrace
standard_texture models/textures/standard_thrace.tga
rebels_texture models/textures/standard_greek_rebels.tga
routing_texture models/textures/standard_routing.tga
ally_texture models/textures/standard_thrace_ally.tga

Unfortunately, it is not the solution.
Those banners are for battle map.
I've changed this file accordingly and now the rebels are carrying the correct standards in battles.

sorry I can never remember which bit is which

just change everything and hope I haven't missed too much!

How about

faction thrace
culture greek
symbol models_strat/symbol_thrace.CAS
rebel_symbol models_strat/symbol_greek_rebel.CAS

type bit in descr_sm_factions itself? I think the CAS file calls the associated texture automatically so maybe if you switched those around?

Edit;
never mind, I now see the real issue ....

yeah but - its culture specific!

I did finally test out changing the sm_factions rebel cas line on BI and it works for me :)

HALELUYA!

Thanks a lot Makanyane

. You have saved my modding day.

I'm in debt with you, as I had never thought that this (apparently) simple question would require the modification of cas files.

Thanks again.
