tk's Elephant & Chariot Mini Mod Thing

[tk-421]

I have always hated seeing vanilla models and skins mixed in with the glorious EB units, and because I was bored this afternoo, I decided to do something about it.

I replaced all vanilla elephant and chariot riders with finished EB models and skins, I replaced all vanilla horse skins with finished EB ones that are currently in the game, and I removed all vanilla standard bearers. Although it is not perfect, I believe that the chariots and elephants are much easier to look at now. Here are a few screens:

Armored Indian Elephants


Indian Elephants


Casse Chariots


Seleukid Scythed Chariot


It will be available for download in a week if anyone wants it.

Good idea!

Perhaps this should be combined with Bonny's sprite pack?

[edyzmedieval]

I got a better idea. Combine this with my MapMod too.

And create a complete EB fix pack? Sounds good, although personally I should wait with that until your Mapmod is finished.

[edyzmedieval]

Yeap, exactly.

I'll release a new version of the MapMod soon after my exams.

I think that that's an excellent idea. I'll PM Bonny and Edyz and see what they think.

Here's a download link.

Just copy and paste the export_descr_unit.txt and the descr_model_battle.txt into the appropriate directory. I have also included backup copies if you don't like my little mod or it doesn't work for some reason.

Note: The current version does not work with Bonny's sprites, but I am working on one that will be.

Is this compatible to Bonny's Sprite pack? I am not entirely sure how these files interact.

[tk-421]

Oh, sorry. I should have said something about that. They currently are not but I'm going to make a version that will be. I'll release it sometime this week.

Have you made any progress on this?

[tk-421]

I've become busy with other things lately and this probably won't be finished with Bonny's sprites.

Pity.

[Bonny]

I have made a version of tk'S minimod that is compatible with the sprite pack. (copy and paste, 2 seconds work, hope it works )

here is the link

how to install:
just unzip the file into your RTW directory,
the sprite files are not included within this minimod , the sprite pack had to be downloaded installed before, this version of tk's minimod only has an adjustetd descr_model_battle_txt (short dmb) to use both the ebmodels as chariotdrivers / elephant riders and the new sprites.

@ tk

good luck with your new task

[tk-421]

Excellent! Thanks Bonny, I'm glad someone did this.

[Ludens]

Thanks Bonny!

[Redigo]

Weird. For Bonny's edition, FileFront reports:

Invalid Key or in use or Missing File

[Lovejoy]

Somebody please upload this file again.

[tk-421]

I would be glad to if I still had it. Could someone who has downloaded it upload their edu and dmb for others to use?

The Model used by your Indian Kataphract Elephant is still wrong....
It resembles the African Kataphract Elephant.....
Use the model available in the RTR mod...or you will have to make one..
