Cavalry Standard Bearers "Mini-Mod" v2.3

This Empire: Total War "Mini-Mod" creates all new standard flag bearers for a large majority of cavalry units. It is nationality specific, I have created a standard bearer for European, Eastern, Native Americans , Auxiliary Native Americans , all new Polish Winged Hussars and Crossacks (only the Crossacks cavalry units use this model, the rest of the Russian units use European).

Please note : I will only create compatible versions for current popular modifications once they release theyre stable 1.4 patch versions, and I will only make them if people request.

Also, if you are experiencing ANY issues , please post here and let me know! And if you have any ideas to improve this small modification, please let me know!

The only cavalry units that do not have a flag bearers are :
• Dragoons
• Light Dragoons
• All elephant units
• Militia/Provincial Cavalry

-If you wish to incorporate this "Mini-Mod" into your mod, please go ahead! Im all for helping the ETW community.

This modification would have never existed without the help of erasmus777 for guiding me in the right direction and Franky235 and Magnus72, who basically built the foundation of this modification and from there I made it what it is now. Also, a big thank you for Kurisu Paifuaa for making the previous APE:TI compatible version.

Minja see if you can help me figure out how to make the standards for cavalry standard bearers unique. I want to make unique Cavalry Standards for Regalia. I don't want the cavalry to be holding Infantry Standards.

[somerandomMinja]

I dont think we can make it possible until the proper modding tools are released by CA . Just like alot of other modders are trying to figure out to make flags specific for each regiment .

[Rudd_Medicman]

Looks great, but aren't the standards a bit...big? at gallop the air resistance would be pretty massive, surely a version only slightly larger, if anything, of the infantry standards would be better?

I know this is an aweful picture to choose, but perhaps more like this

[Aykis16]

And Minja what flag are you using for the Prussians? The transparent parts of it are all off and it looks tattered. Did you mean for it to look like that?

[somerandomMinja]

Its the flag the Prussian dragoons used , and yea I intended for it to look all torn and worn out .

I dont think its possible to cut it down at the time , seeing as we can only use models that are currently in the engine and cant import/export models until we get the propper tools to do so . I want them to be shorter too but there isnt much I can do about it .
Anyways , when you charge the flag bearer lowers it like a spear . Not so much wind resistance there .

[joedreck]

Why don't you try other spears which are in game? Maybe one of them is better.

I read, that the problem with the flags are bigger. CA did bad work, as usual. You can't give flags as in Medieval to cavalry and different infantry units. You have now only one faction flag.

I was thinking of giving the lance a look , just like erasmus777 used the lance for the spontoon on officers in his ETM . I just have a feeling it wont work with a flag on it , but ill look into it .

Thanks for feedback guys , Im really glad your all enjoying it ! If you experience any issues please let me know .

Awesome

[EmperorBatman999]

Cool,
But any way to make the flagpole shorter and less awkward?

I have been looking for a way to attach the battle flag to a lance , but it seems it comes together with the euro_hanger model . Im still trying to see if I can figure out a way around it .

[Chevalier IX]

alright then,should i install the mod so that it loads first or last???for as it stands it is not currently working for me,so i am wondering if perhaps the load order is all wrong??I have been looking forward to a mod such as this for quiete some time now,shame should i not be able to get it to work...

[DeaDBolT]

I just wanted to say this is a great mod that adds some much needed refinement and immersion to ETW.

Thanks and +rep to the creator.

Cheers,

What mods are you running ? Try running it last , it seems that its sensitive when other mods are running that change the unit_stats_land .

[Chevalier IX]

This is what i am currently running
mod "sinuhet_formations_1_2.pack";
mod "Lethal23LR.pack";
mod "AIBruix.pack";
mod "battalion_flags.pack";
mod "hussar_mod.pack";
mod "mod_Prussia.pack";
mod "mod_soundv2.pack";
mod "naval_flag_conversion.pack";
mod "new_officer_mod.pack";
mod "spainall_dbfix_mod.pack";
mod "spainall_mod.pack";
mod "tuca_music.pack";
mod "W_hussar_texture.pack";
mod "BSM_3_1_FULL_all_cannons_MM.pack";
mod "Britain_mod.pack";
mod "equipment_tweak_mod.pack";
mod "cavalry_standard_bearer_tight.pack";
the mods listed are copied directly from the file and are placed in the order in which i have them running...any ideas???

[somerandomMinja]

Off the bat , I know that the lethal mod effects unit_land_stats , so that may be the problem . Ill go and download their mod and make a compatible version . Other than that it should work with your other mods .
