    Please post any bugs or suggestions here ;)

    See the read-me for instructions.

    I want to thank Casuir for testing a preliminary version of this tool :)

    Hi Everybody! Thanks to all of you for all your work to make modding so exciting. All the directions are very clear and easy to follow. I have done all that is described here and it works just fine. My problem is using Photoshop. I can not make anything happen there, can not figure out what controls to use to change color values etc... I find that in the game, in battle mode, it is very difficult to tell my units from others, and would like to make my units more identifiable. I have searched all the forum for a little Photoshop tutorial on this topic but have not found on. Can anyone PLEASE write a simple little tutorial, even just telling what controls to use. This seems to be one of my biggest obstacles.
    Thanks in advance.

    Sorry, but I think that would go right outside the scope of modding. You'll have to learn that somehow different (there are probably quite a few good books about Photoshop out there) I guess.

    HI Icue, looking at your screenshots it looks like your working with a models_strat unit, did you put it back in the models_strat folder or the
    unit_ models folder?

    Default texture problem

    Hello,

    please someone help me, I am totally new in modding and I wanted to change some unit colours, I have photoshop, I got those texture/ddl converters, I tested them on some textures that I downloaded from internet and they work. The only problem is that I cant find the textures in my Medieval 2 total war folder. How can I come to those texture files? For example, how do I find texture file for general's unit? Do I have to have another program that can extract those texture file from some other files?

    I'm new to modding M2tw, but did you unpack everything? If you are having problems, I would suggest you look at the Setting up M2tw for modding guide. If you do everything in that, it should work.

    Do you need winrar to download the converter? I can't seem to be able to extract it and was wondering if this was the case?

    Hello everyone,

    I'm having a problem with the texture converter. Everytime I try to run it, it gives me the "Press any key to continue" command. As instructed, I press any key (normally the enter key) and the window closes, without any changes.

    More information (I assume this can help): I am running convert_all_textures.bat, I have python, and the file is texture_converter_01 in my data file.

    Ideally, you'd set up a working folder in which you copy the tool and the textures you want to convert.
    I'm not 100% sure what could happen for you, if it doesn't present you with an error message it should run fine. Are you sure you don't have any converted files in your subfolders (where the appropriate .texture files are)?
