Fanatic’s First Cohort/Phalanx/Elephant/Chariot minimod

[Leviathan DarklyCute]

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.

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.

Believe me, I wish I could change those units too...

You should upload it here

If only I had known how to do that...

[alatar]

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?

[TWFanatic]

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:

RapidShare:

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:

 ;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

and DELETE BOLDED PART OF THE CODE (the "_evocata")

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)
