I was going to modify them as well, however I chose not to because of the inaccurate reduction in spear length. However, now that you know how, you can do that if you want to!Here's a suggesion: The iphikratous hoplitai (and the heavy version, also some others like alpine phalanx) no longer use the macedonian phalanx ability in 1.1. So maybe it would be a good idea to give them short_pike too? The only problem I see with this is that they would have the same spear length as classic hoplites (they should be longer) and they would fight almost the same way.
I'm on it.2nd link (Aquilifer) isn't working.

Hi TWFanatic,
The paths for the download are set to the SP and MP backup folders respectively????
Should one be for the EB\Data folder and the other for the backup folders?

A friend and I have now begun 1.1. Pontus for both.
I'm just trying to find as many hoplites as I can now, because they own so much.![]()
Great! Thanks!

If you have TrivialScript, you only need to edit those files. Every time you switch from SP to MP or vice versa, your EDU file is automatically replaced with the one in your backup folder.Originally Posted by Vermin
If you chose not to install TrivialScript, I reckoned that would most likely be an advanced user who knows what to do.

Heh, I've installed Trivial script, but as I've decided to use ALX engine, I've installed EB-ALX minimod and made new shortcut directly to ALX.exe, without the Trivial script, so I'll launch my EB from desktop, without Trivial.
Thus I think I'll have to place Your EDU in basic EB/Data folder, then applying various changes to both EDU and DMB files, also to EDB too... :D
BTW: maybe I'll make a fix to models/textures of Roman Imperial Legionaries/Evocati, as they seem be made wrong - with use of old 0.81a models/skins.

Hi TWFanatic, why did you give short_pike trait only to some hoplites, but left others, like the Indo-Greek Noble Hoplites or the Massaliotai Hoplitai, with the old light_spear trait?
I think you should give all (or almost all) hoplites the short_pike trait.
Because they have two weapons, a spear and a sword. You cannot give such units the short_pike trait without disasterous results. Try it! You'll see what I mean.Originally Posted by Leviathan DarklyCute
Believe me, I wish I could change those units too...

Put all the files you changed in a folder.
Example, call the folder Darth and inside Darth create a eb folder, and in that a data folder, and put the text files in there. And any models you used aswell.
Then compress "darth" and upload it here. filefront.com
I'd be gratefull.
Also a guide on anychanges to get Fanatics stuff to work on Alx needed?
I have no clue, sorry. It should work on ALEX, but I can't be 100% positive as I don't own the game myself.

There's no problem with playing Fanatics stuff oon ALX - I do it myself and all is OK.
The only clue is, that to play ALX you have to make independent shortcut (instead of using the Trivial Script), so in order to get his stuff to work you have to manually copy/paste his EDU from "sp game edu backup / mp game edu backup" into main EB/data folder.
ATTENTION:
the "fix" file IS READY! And it has been already tested - and works!
However, the files corrected are the EDU files made by TW Fanatic; unfortunately I've overwritten original EB sp/mp EDU files with his work, so I couldn't correct them.
Anyone who wants original files in game corrected is asked to send me the EB sp EDU and EB mp EDU files on following email:
darth.stalin@wp.pl
These files after correction shall be implemented into the fix, so everyone will be able to play corrected EB legionaries!
As only I manage to upload the fix on FileFrontl I'll provide appropriate link to let TWFanatic and Bovi submit corrected files as new Phalanxmod version and EB 1.1 fix, respectively.
LATEST EDIT:
[please don't be suprised with slightly different author's name => that's me but it seems that FileFront requires a slightly different way of spelling the names/nicks]
The file can be found at:
FileFront:
http://files.filefront.com/DS+Romani.../fileinfo.html
RapidShare:
http://rapidshare.com/files/10833566...i_fix.zip.html
ATTENTION!
There was a typo in "basic_EB_files" EDUs, found in Eb/data, Eb/sp game edu backup and Eb/mp game edu backup!
Updated files are uploaded just now, yet for those who have already downloaded it, here's the solution:
In all EDUs mentioned above please find the following section:
and DELETE BOLDED PART OF THE CODE (the "_evocata")Code:;525 type roman infantry first legionary cohort ii dictionary roman_infantry_legionary_first_cohort_ii ; Cohortes Imperatoria category infantry class heavy voice_type General_1 soldier roman_infantry_cohorsimperatoria_evocata, 50, 0, 1.2

Which spear units are fighting like classical phalanx?
I know the Greek classical phalanx are. What about say the Helveti/Sweboz spear units that used the shield wall in history, or the triarii, etc. I trust successor hopiltes like bactrian and stuff are also fighting classical phalanx (ie given the short_pike)

Couple of questions, a few of them kind of stupid.
1) I think I screwed up the aquilifier installation, EB is giving me an error on this line "skeleton fs_indian_elephant" in the descr_model_battle.txt whenever I try to start Eb. I don't think I messed with that line, but somehow it's not working, i should have made a backup. Anyways, I was wondering if someone could upload the original if they have time? I'd really appreciate it.
2) Weren't their a few of the irish units removed in 1.1, so should I have to remove a unit to add the aquilifier?
3) I know the phalanx mod is save compatible, the aquilifier is too right?
Thanks for your mod Fanatic!

First of all, sorry for my english... I think it's a bit unclear![]()
If you are using notepad, it might cause problems. For example, it seemed there where issues with 1.1 working on ALX.exe; it turned out that making the same modifications to the files with another program (i.e. Textpad) does NOT give those issues. Notepad was the ONLY cause. So you should try re-editing from scratch if that's your case.Originally Posted by stupac

Don't know exactly; if you are using RTW.exe or BI.exe you HAVE to remove a model and ALL units that use it (so, find a model that is used by only one unit if possible; I'd say it's better to just ignore the aquilifer anyway). If you are using ALX.exe there is a higher model limit, so you don't have to remove anything to add the aquilifer.Originally Posted by stupac
Don't know, sorry. The phalanx mod changes only the EDU; I don't know if changes to the DMB are save-compatible (anyway, if you remove a unit I think it will NOT be save-game compatible). But if you remove one of the goidilic units it MAY be; I think their model is still used by the seleucid unit "Thorakitai Agematos Basilikou (Hellenic Elite Spearmen)", so you shouldn't remove them anyway.Originally Posted by stupac

Perfectly clear, thank you. Strange, I used notepad++ to edit the file, which I use for everything. Thank you very much, I'll try it with your file.

You need to make sure the files are saved in the proper text format ("Windows format" is the right one) and encoding (ANSI, AFAIK).

I see, hmm, I just went ahead and tried adding the aquilifier without removing a unit. How would I know if it is causing a problem? So far I've been able to load EB and play custom battles with the aquilifier working fine. I've been able to continue my romani campaign, though I've just started and haven't got to marian reforms yet.Originally Posted by Watchman

That's weird... I tried adding the aq's without removing a unit, playing on Alex, but the game would crash before getting to the main menu. When I restored the original text files, all was well. And all I did was copy + paste the stuff that I was supposed to in the files I was supposed to....
make sure you add the -show_err to your shortcut to see what's up, because I was doing the same thing, just copying and pasting, but each time I'd get an error in the file I did. I was using notepad++, but I went and did it in textpad(thanks to sunshadow) and voila! Seems to be working fine using BI.Originally Posted by Wonderland

Ah, that must be it. Thanks friend.![]()
It's easy to accidentally save the text in the wrong format which the RTW parser refuses to read, with Notepad++. As long as you make sure the file's in "Windows format" and (AFAIK) "ANSI" encoding it works just fine.

Thanks watchman, I'll keep that in mind for next time, but for now I'm not touching my files again now that I have everything working finally. Was having EB withdrawls for a while there.Originally Posted by Watchman
