Some questions

[Lucky_Shotz]

ok, ive tried to switch out unit info cards and the unit cards, but the game decides that it likes the old ones better. how can i change the unit info cards and unit crads for existing units, and have them read? ive tried overwriting the old ones, adding new with same name and deleting old ones, no luck.

also, these next few questions are also requests for help...

im working on a mod, and i need a few units that i cannot mod myself. i put them here because its a well traveled section of the site, and i do need help 0_- for example:

-Spartan Hoplites

Large crest on helmet, transverse if officer, black and gold color bands in crest, black gold black I think is nice, full corinthian helmet, full bronze breastplate, large hoplon branded with the lambda of Lakedaemon, bronze greaves, sandals, spear, short sword, and a nice crimson cloak.

elite hoplite w/ red full length cloak
add officer of same build, but with transverse crest

i need an elite hoplite model, with the description above, with a red cloak. i also need an officer, but the only change for him is the transverse crest. i just need the model and texture. ill do the rest! if someone would be so kind as to help out...

-Persian Spearmen
able to use bow as well as spear
model_flexi data/models_unit/unit_barb_scythian_noble_cavalry_high.cas, 8
model_flexi data/models_unit/unit_barb_scythian_noble_cavalry_med.cas, 15
model_flexi data/models_unit/unit_barb_scythian_noble_cavalry_low.cas, 30
model_flexi data/models_unit/unit_barb_scythian_noble_cavalry_lowest.cas, max

i would like to use this model, but change sword to combat spear! dont worry about the texture, i just need the CAS model changed from sword to spear!


is there any way you can get a mounted officer or standard bearer, which would carry a large standard in the shape of a dragon, like from new years in china?


okay, those are the 3 units right now i need help on, should be all. if anyone wants to help out here, i would greatly appreciate it. just let me know in this thread. thanks a bunch for the help!

Did you use a mod folder or Vercingetorix's xpak? If you used a mod folder, it should work just fine so long as you make the RTW go to the mod using the -mod:my_mod switch. If you used Vercingetorix's xpak to un-pak all the files, you must either take the contents of the newly created DATA folder in "your install"\data\packs and put them in "your install"\data, or you must re-pack them using the xpak (instructions are in the read-me)

As for your second problem sorry i'm an amateur at using photoshop to edit images, but if you want to do it yourself there are many discussions and tutorials on how to use PSP or photoshop...they're actually pretty easy and straight-forward to use thanks to the great modders here at the .Org.

Here is one link on how to edit unit skins using photoshop
Here is a second if you needed any more help
