Ancien Regime ETW re-texture ( France, Poland-Lithuania, etc...)
Welcome to Ancien Régime.
This is a realistic re-texture project for ETW. Since I love history and uniforms, to reskin ETW became a little hobby. ( I reminds me when I used to paint miniatures ) All the texture are based on history you can see this incredible source of information for yourself below. I began with France but Unfortunately (or fortunately) I like to spread myself and now, You can find all kind of textures to bring the overall visual aspect of ETW to a higher level.
As you can see there's plenty of work to do and I'm already working on some more but I do It for my own pleasure...
I'm still in the process of learning the art, I would be glad for any advise or comments..
Here is what is done fow now: ( last update 08-07-09)
-Poland-Lithuania vo2 ( updated for patch 1.3)
- Poland-Lithuania vo1 is out! ( see poland section for download)
- Ancien Régime unit mod by isilendil
France:
Ancien Régime France V04 should be the final version ( well at least for a month or two) Most of the French Texture have been changed but some like sepoy, native or african infantry are unchanged. All the textures ( exept for coureur de Bois ) have strong historical references but, of course a well trained eye might discover some fantasies ( I hope you will forgive me for thoses..) The main document I used for France is the Mouillard plates that you can consult by clicking the link below.
Mouillard plates
Ancien Régime France v04 is what you could call the core pack. It contain all the textures but the line infantry. After installing AR France v04 you still need to choose your linr infantry either from the AR French infantry package or anywhere else on the net.

Poland-Lithuania:
I did those textures as part of the Regalia of Nations project. The main source of inspiration for those texture is this book:http://militarist.milua.org/zolnierz.../IMG_4423.html

Unlike France and Spain Poland Lithuania has no infantry variant for the moment, so all the textures you need are all in one patch and unlike the other textures you download them here:
Download Link (v02 patch 1.3 updated) ( updated link )
Spain:
Unlike France, Spain is still work in progress. All Spanish textures have their own patch until I can set up a more complete package for spain but are all zipped together.
For the present, I have used two main source that you can consult bellow...

Across the web...
I don't think I can retexture all of ETW by myself ( unless maybe if I dedicate myself to it for many many years...) but I can find nice textures on the web made by other peoples that matches with mine ( having an historical background and pleases my artistic tastes, my director's cut
Prussian and Ottoman Empire
For both of them, I use Remo Prussian and Ottoman pack. I like Remo's textures for the color
brightness matches well with my textures.( and Remo has also lots of creativity )
R-texture Project
British
For the british I recommand to have a look at what Legofinger and his team( Kave-In, Dynamo11) has done.
British Re-texture Pack
The Lego Pack
AWI units+textures
United Provinces
There is one United Province re-skin out and it is one of the best made by Jarno and his team
United Provinces Retexture Project - "Light Edition" (v1.0)
Russia
I suggest Hellfell work on TGOTRE
TGOTRE light 1.1
Alternate French units
Here can you find a link to Psycho V French Project. You can find for the moment a variant of line infantry and white grenadier. At the moment both pack are not combatible ( unless you repack the grenadier with Pack manager) but nice varriant ( if you know how to repack )
The French Bourbon Army
This section will also evolve with time ...
Install info:
All those texture are now Patch.pack and you just need to extract them in
your your data folder
note: I put all thoses texture on-line to share with the comunity, Anyone is invited to use them as they whish, given proper credits.
Hope you enjoy...
Special Thanks:
This is the hardest part for you always forget someone. So I won't start to list all friends and suporters But I would like to thank in particular:Radosław Sikora and Jan Chryzostom for the immense help they gave me with the pole uniforms. Janrnomiedema ( and his team ) Magnus72, Remo, Megasalexandros, Hellfell have also been all great source for inspiration. Many other peples helped out like Ziem, crepe100, KLA for uniforms template and other like Salvo or Roslolian but all the modding community deserve a big thanks...
