In this thread you will find news, updates and discussion related to my Carthaginian pack.
This pack is intended to give the Carthaginian units a more realistic feel.

Corrections for version 1.0 (for RTW 1.2)


Open descr_model_battle.txt file and look for this section:

;;;;;; TEMPORARY UNITS ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

type carthaginian_medium_infantry
; combat spear
skeleton fs_spearman, fs_swordsman
indiv_range 40
texture carthage, data/models_unit/textures/unit_mm_carthage_libyan_spearmen.tga
model_flexi data/models_unit/0_unit_carthage_libyan_spear_high.cas, 15
model_flexi data/models_unit/0_unit_carthage_libyan_spear_high.cas, 30
model_flexi data/models_unit/0_unit_carthage_libyan_spear_high.cas, 40
model_flexi data/models_unit/0_unit_carthage_libyan_spear_high.cas, max
model_sprite 60.0, data/sprites/carthaginian_medium_infantry_sprite.spr
model_tri 400, 0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f

This is how it should look, but one of the lines (can't remember which one) looks like this:

data/models_unit/0_unit_carthage_libyan_Spear_high.cas.cas

Just remove the last ".cas" and the problem is solved.

****************************************

Now for the Sacred Legion, open the export_descr_unit.txt file and find this section:

type carthaginian sacred band infantry
dictionary carthaginian_sacred_band ; Sacred Band
category infantry
class spearmen
voice_type Heavy_1
soldier carthaginian_sacred_band 40, 0, 1.3
officer carthaginian_standard
attributes sea_faring, hide_forest, can_sap, hardy
formation 1, 1, 2, 2, 5, square, phalanx
stat_health 1, 0
stat_pri 12, 8, no, 0, 0, melee, simple, piercing, spear, 25 ,1
stat_pri_attr spear
stat_sec 10, 4, no, 0, 0, melee, simple, piercing, sword, 25 ,1
stat_sec_attr no
stat_pri_armour 11, 8, 5, metal
stat_sec_armour 0, 0, flesh
stat_heat 2
stat_ground 2, 1, 0, -1
stat_mental 10, disciplined, highly_trained
stat_charge_dist 30
stat_fire_delay 0
stat_food 60, 300
stat_cost 2, 710, 270, 80, 110, 710
ownership carthage

Change whatever soldier is there to "carthaginian_sacred_band" and that's it.
As far as i can tell those were the only two errors in this version.
Forgive me for any inconvenience.

Is there any hope for screenshots?

Hey man I really like your sacred band horsemen, its very artistic, thank you.

I also made major changes to some carthaginian units and a similar unit to the long shield cavalry with an oval shield and also a sacred band cavalry with some edited armour, unfortunately the sacred horsemen seems no difference, so I abandon it, until you came in to release yours, its very well donw, it can replace my rubbish one.

[fallingstar]

Sorry everyone kept on mentioning the vanilla mod, which one is it I am lost?

Yay!
the masses are appeased. :grin

[fallingstar]

Right the info card for the sb cavalry a bit disappointing and looks a bit disgusting, adjust it when have time.

[maximusminimus]

Hey fallingstar,

it looks nice to me, i like it.

@ Tsarevna: :lol

[maximusminimus]

One more skin: standard officer.

[maximusminimus]

And the zip.

[Ryder65]

What about your general? Is he reskinned as well?

[maximusminimus]

I'm working on it.

[Legionario]

:8 You put "phalaerae" on the Standard Officier chest... :mellow they are a Roman award...not Carthaginian.... :sad

[maximusminimus]

Oops, thanks Legionario, i'll fix that.

Edit: Legionario, i presume you're talking about that symbol, it also shows on the vanilla Carthaginian lesser general skin, and on several Greek officer skins. Are you shure it's a Roman only thing?

[JP226]

any word on how the rest of the skins are progressing?

[maximusminimus]

Sorry guys, i'm very busy right now, with regular work and with the Punic TW mod (and another mod coming my way).
I was planning to work these skins in parallel with the ones i'm making for PTW, but it doesn't make to much sense anymore, because the PTW skins look so much better now than these.
I don't know if i'm gonna find the time and the will to continue with this project...
