ZOMBIES for SBH - completely off topic

[midnite]

Being almost Halloween and the fact that my install for IB2 has been corrupted and I have to re-install all of my files, I took a break and modified this file for SBH.
I remeber he said he would write an AAR!!
I will post the file soon and how to install it

Now I go back to work before Ramon yells at me . JUst kidding



The zombies are approaching!!!


Before dusk a host has gathered on the hillside above the sleepy english town




By nightfall the town militia has been called out to observe the approaching crowd


bue these are no ordinary men -- ZOMBIES !!!!







soon the crowd has invaded THE town



the militia cannot hold them




the last few of the militia make their last stand in the town square



with lunch over, the zombies wait for their next meal

Oh Sweet Jesus - I am zombie heaven!!!! How did you do that and can I download it as some sort of mod thingy (I am not very technical here). They look great!!!! I WANT . . .

I am glad you like them. It was a quick and dirty texture modification. When I have time, I will improve on them.

here is the file you need. Only one small file
me_peasant_variant_turks.texture

I am using this file with kingdoms installed. This is the path folder where my file is installed

Medieval II Total War\mods\Stainless_Steel_6\data\unit_models\_units\me_light_padded\textures

I have the ss6.1 mod installed. I believe the file will still work without kingdoms. I created part of the directory structure in the zip file for you. It will read data\unit_models\_units\me_light_padded\textures

Without kingdoms the dir structure should read
Medieval II Total War\data\unit_models\_units\me_light_padded\textures

You might only have to unzip the file and copy directly into your main mtwII folder. I will try this out when I get a chance.

The zombies replace the peasant units of the turks.
To uninstall simply delete this file (above) in the unit_models\_units\me_light_padded\textures folder
Remember to save your old file to revert back to the original turk peasants

I hope I made this clear. Good luck

You might want to install the over lay texture files that improve on the blood , dirt and snow textures during battle. I will explain this to you soon. The zombies and units they are fighting will become more bloody as they fight and they are hit.

haha cool

[SeniorBatavianHorse]

Ok going to try this out but I've never modded before so it is a bit daunting!

[PSEUDO ROMANUS]

hahaha, I think I've seen it everything now. This is the beginning for IM (Invasio Mortvorvm), an amazing mod by midnight and unconditionally supported by SBH!

It's not working. I am sure I am messing it up but I've installed into the data-thingy in my MTWII Broken Crescent mod and nothing happens. I tried to install in the main MTWII ganme but it doesn't have a data-thingy file for it to go in

P.S: I really want to install it in the English Civil War mod and feed it into the AAR I am writing. Any chance you could help me with this? I am thinking Witch-Finder General here . . .

[Nakharar]

have you made a batch. You must add to your CFG - io_first file =true its long theres sure to be tutorials on it

[SeniorBatavianHorse]

I have no idea what that means . . .

I have that mod also. Give me a little time and I believe i can fix it to work with that mod. It will be a simple download of maybe 4 files or less.

Great stuff - I also don't have kingdoms either just the main game and 2 mods: Broken Crescent and For King Or Country . . . Fingers crossed!

[SeniorBatavianHorse]

[Nakharar]

[PSEUDO ROMANUS]

This will be something! The expectations on you are high, SBH .

[SeniorBatavianHorse]

I'm already on it, chaps! Expect a twist soon if I can work out how to 'mod' . . .

[midnite]

Here you go. AAR away. Let me know if there are any problems
make copies of your original files in order to go back to the original mod units
these files replace the militia pikemen on the royalist side

3 files total

royalist_militia_pikemen_lod0.mesh
royalist_militia_pikemen.texture
and
faction_banner_denmark

put royalist_militia_pikemen.texture in the
Medieval II Total War\for_king_or_country\data\unit_models\_units\royalist\textures folder


put royalist_militia_pikemen_lod0.mesh in the
Medieval II Total War\for_king_or_country\data\unit_models\_units\royalist folder

(optional)
you can keep the regular royalist banner for the undead units or use this new zombie banner

for the zombie banner, put faction_banner_denmark in the
Medieval II Total War\for_king_or_country\data\banners\textures folder
