Thanks, my friends

I like this face type. I have created it. In game faces is smaller and don't see them.

Dear KL300 - maybe just make something better, especially the "crap" faces? Well, it seems You're always giving "F" to KLA's works - maybe you could explain us, why? Except it is just 'cause you regret you cannot make anything like this? Well, it's rather boring seeing you always at the same jealous position...

Do these make new units in rome?
or do you still have to write the code for them, or are they just skins for existing units?

INSTALL

FIRST WAY

The simplest way how to copy model and texture - .cas and .dds *(.tga) files to the correct folders and rename them to those from my skinpacks.
.TGA is texture; .CAS is model;
.CAS files put: ..:\....\Rome Total War\data\models_unit (folder with Your game on Your computer)
.TGA files put: ..:\....\Rome Total War\data\models_unit\textures (if U don't have 'textures' folder, U must create it.)
If You want only replace units with these of Rome Total War, EB, RTR or other mods U can only rename units files.

Example (I replace EB hoplite to my unit):
http://img262.imageshack.us/img262/2916/pomoc1td9.th.jpg

1. I open my folder: D:\Gry\Europa Barbarorum 0.81\EB\Data\models_unit and I copy name of EB Spartan Hoplite (.CAS)
http://img262.imageshack.us/img262/7905/pomoc2fi2.th.jpg

2. Rename my Unit as U copied:
http://img472.imageshack.us/img472/456/pomoc3em0.th.jpg
http://img297.imageshack.us/img297/5568/pomoc4pc9.th.jpg
http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/2573/pomoc5sf3.th.jpg

3. Copy renamed file from Hoplites 2.0:
http://img513.imageshack.us/img513/311/pomoc6yr6.th.jpg

4. and paste to EB folder:
http://img264.imageshack.us/img264/3901/pomoc7jh6.th.jpg

5. That same way use to rename .TGA file:
http://img502.imageshack.us/img502/8481/pomoc8sv2.th.jpg


SECOND WAY:

put models (.cas) into:....\Rome Total War\Data\models_unit,
and textures (.tga) to:....\Rome Total War\Data\models_unit\textures. (if U don't have 'textures' folder, U must create it.)

Then open file: descr_model_battle in ...\Rome Total War\Data\

I show You one example.

original text of 'descr_model_battle":


type greek_armoured_hoplite
skeleton fs_slow_spearman, fs_slow_swordsman ; combat spear
indiv_range 40
texture carthage, data/models_unit/textures/unit_greek_elite_hoplite_carthage.tga
texture greek_cities, data/models_unit/textures/unit_greek_elite_hoplite_greek.tga
model_flexi data/models_unit/unit_greek_hoplite_elite_high.cas, 15
model_flexi data/models_unit/unit_greek_hoplite_elite_med.cas, 30
model_flexi data/models_unit/unit_greek_hoplite_elite_low.cas, 40
model_flexi data/models_unit/unit_greek_hoplite_elite_lowest.cas, max
model_sprite greek_cities, 60.0, data/sprites/greek_cities_greek_armoured_hoplite_sprite.spr
model_sprite carthage, 60.0, data/sprites/carthage_greek_armoured_hoplite_sprite.spr
model_tri 400, 0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f

You would like to put: Tarentine Leukaspides
model: Tarentine_Leukaspides.cas
texture: Tarentine_Leukaspides.tga

put model Tarentine_Leukaspides.cas into:....\Rome Total War\Data\models_unit,
and textureTarentine_Leukaspides.tga to:....\Rome Total War\Data\models_unit\textures.

rename descr_model_battle:


type greek_armoured_hoplite
skeleton fs_slow_spearman, fs_slow_swordsman ; combat spear
indiv_range 40
texture carthage, data/models_unit/textures/Tarentine_Leukaspides.tga
texture greek_cities, data/models_unit/textures/Tarentine_Leukaspides.tga
model_flexi data/models_unit/Tarentine_Leukaspides.cas, 15
model_flexi data/models_unit/Tarentine_Leukaspides.cas, 30
model_flexi data/models_unit/Tarentine_Leukaspides.cas, 40
model_flexi data/models_unit/Tarentine_Leukaspides.cas, max
model_sprite greek_cities, 60.0, data/sprites/greek_cities_greek_armoured_hoplite_sprite.spr
model_sprite carthage, 60.0, data/sprites/carthage_greek_armoured_hoplite_sprite.spr
model_tri 400, 0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f

Example
(with Roman unit): http://img297.imageshack.us/img297/221/regerwy2.jpg

Save and Play!


THIRD WAY:

To add completly new unit is a bit more complicated - several files needs to be edited. The simplest tutorial that has ever been written you can find here:

http://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=51750

I don't see the need to write another tutorial by me, as i would make a similar one, just maybe not that user-friendly one.

Here are all tutorials which I know:
http://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=51750 - tutorial 1 (add units for beginners)
http://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=51373 - tutorial 2 (Units Cards)

http://www.stratcommandcenter.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=16061 - tutorial 5 (Units Cards)
http://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=50469 - tutorial 6 (only textures)
http://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=50470 - tutorial 7 (add units)
http://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=46265 - tutorial 8 (dismount (or mount) a unit)
http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=48602 - tutorial 9 (Units Cards)
http://totalwar.org.pl/board/viewtopic.php?t=1793&start=0 - tutorial 10 (dodawanie jednostek, edycja itd. POLISH)

I don't add Readme files because people are using different versions of Rome (1.0-1.6), or different mods (EB, RTR, 77 BC, SPQR, etc.). I would have to make different text for each version....
Imo after reading that tutorial carefully everybody will understand how to make it - it can't be expalined in a simpler way.
I can't write better about 'adding new units' because my English is ugly.

I have request for modders. COULD SOMEBODY HELP AND CRAETE TEXT FILES FOR MY HOPLITES 2.0 SKINPACK (Imperal Romans 2.0 or Hannibal's Army 1.0?
