Beautiful work +rep

[Darth Alec]

That's awsome!

Please do this for the Bysantines.

i hope with help of King Kong or other knowlegable person we can unpack the vanilla TGA files that were not replaced in Stainless Steal, as SS5.1b still uses overwhelming amount of old info cards from vanilla for its new units.

P.S. yes i will do Byzantine next. and many others at the same time

[hellfire15]

save compatibel?

[akvilonn]

Of course! these are only images replace folders and load the game

Secret unpack formula:

"Medieval II Total War\tools\unpacker\unpack_all.bat"

Note, that around 20 gigs may be needed... And that the unpacking process may take up from 15 minutes to a hour.

I love you

These pics look awsome.

Hi akvilonn,

Awesome! Really spectacular info cards!

i hope with help of King Kong or other knowlegable person we can unpack the vanilla TGA files that were not replaced in Stainless Steal, as SS5.1b still uses overwhelming amount of old info cards from vanilla for its new units.

If this helps to see more of those beautiful unit cards I'll be glad to help you with this...

[akvilonn]

thank you for response!
well, not wasting any time - lets start now.
how do i get all the other info cards for all SS units?
Some of them are in the unit_info folder, but its a tiny amount. Only Kiev Rus had all the info cards present in TGA.
How do i go about getting all of them?

Edit: to King Kong: just saw your pm, that would be great. as soon as i get all of them i will start the work right away.

does REP say annything to you? lol. you got some from me!

[Deckster]

Beautiful looking cards. Did you change the information provided too? I don't feel like comparing it, but that would really be amazing.

I'd give rep, but I can't yet . Not enough posts...

Excellent info cards

[IZ-Master]

Looking forward to them ^^, That is why SS have so much quality , because users such as you make SS better ^^ instead of looking SS as a mod I see it as a core and the mini mods as actual mods

[Echad]

Or even worse, when for certain mods, the mini-mods are forbidden... This makes the mods with such policy complete ****, because the authors cannot do everything themselves.

[Gorrrrrn]

Excellent work akvilonn

+rep for you matey!

look forward to the other factions. Hope you get time to finish the project.

[akvilonn]
