Ever since i got into playing mods i've thought someone should do a reskin if not an overhaul of the Textures of buildings in RTW so as to brush away the outdated look they already have.
So a month ago i set to Correct this void. And i set out to Do one of the first released Cultural Building Texture Revamp.
The First Pack will be devoted to the Barbarian Culture. It will Feature New Skins, with a resolution between 512*512 and 1024*1024, reskining almost 90% of the Culture's buildings. i plan on reaching 100% after i get a pass at all the cultures.
2- Unpack your .pack files present in the Data/packs folder.
Like its indicated in the Tutorial in Xpak Extrator
3- When you come to the Renaming of the old Pack files, DO NOT rename all the old packs. Just Rename the Model_buildings.pack file, its all you need, keep the others pack files as they were.
3- In the Pack Folder should now be a new Data Folder. Inside its contained a series of new Folders. Among them there is one Called Model_buildings Copy this new Model_buildings Folder from the new data folder created by the unpacking of the Packs, and Paste the New Model_buildings Folder into your RomeTotalwar/data/ folder.
4- The Pc will tell you that you already have another file with the same name, if you want to overwrite it/add the new files. Click Yes. Wait for it to end.
5- Now open my mod, you'll see that inside the main Folder you have a folder called Data.
6- So Back away from the main directory of your RTW, and up one level so you can see the Root RTW.
7- Copy the Data file contained in my mod's Rar into the root RTW folder.
8- Youll be asked that the folder already exists blah blah. So just press yes.
9 - And Thats it!
10 - Start the game and enjoy
I know the textures arent crispy Latests Generation, but for it to remain with a decent quality, and not compromise the Perfomance of everyone, i decided to keep some of them simpler, and give a litle bit eye candy on the others.
That doesnt mean it wont change, or be enhanced in later versions.
You can Use this mod pretty much the way you feel like it, however if you want to include it in your mod, or redistribute it, please do ask for Permition.
Permition will be granted most of the times, but i like to know where my work is being used. Also Credit must be given to the dude who spent time to make this mod, which would be me=)))
