Any observations or criticisms welcome, in particular could someone check the gloss files the unit looks fine in game just could be better. I would recommend not using HDR.

Cheers Modestus.

see if it works first.

[Marcus Aemilius Lepidus]

Replace this unit the republican guards or is that really a new unit?

[Modestus]

New unit.

By right I should not allow it to be recruited with the Arch de triumphe but you cannot reinforce it after the revolution so its probably the same result.

Nice,really a good job,it's always a plus to have an extra and historical unit in game.

i just tried the mod but i got CTD,does this happen just to me?

Well I just checked by removing my files and downloading from the link and reinstalling the mod just incase there was a problem, it worked fine for me.

So the two packs are ok, so unless other people are having problems as well it is more then likely your user.empire_script.txt just make sure those lines are exact

mod Gardes_Francaises.pack;
mod Gardes_Francaisespatch_en.pack;

After that its a conflict with some other mod but I dont think that would happen unless you had another Gardes Francaises unit.

[Preussen Gloria]

Thanks modestus! i just realised that one of my mod generated conflict with yours,so all is fine now!

your new unit is impressive,historically correct and very beautiful as well! will you please someday release one or two extra french line infantry units ?

regards

Good you got it working.

This was a first to understand the system so hopefully the next one will look better and that will be the Gardes Suisses.

I will try and make it as accurate as possible within the limitations of the model, the information available and ultimately does in look good.

[Preussen Gloria]

Thanks for answering modestus,i'm sure your Gardes Suisses will be good as this one!

just one question please,i'm playing with the german version of the game,and i noticed if i add in my data folder the Gardfrancaisespack_en all the unit's names are going to change in english.

is there a way to display the name of your unit and keep the other units names unchanged?

[ranger86]

Maybe we can use wild geese and pike man do a spanish succession mod

Delete the Gardes_Francaisespatch_en.pack from the data folder and remove the line refering to this in your user script and you should be back to normal but the unit wont have any on screen name.

I forgot to tidy up that file and at the moment I cant get it to work. No worries though, your game wont blow up.

Edit: It seems that for me to have the name in game it turns out that I need all of the localisation .loc file
from the patch_en. patch which I have incorporated into the Gardes_Francaisespatch_en. Patch with the new name.

Unfortunately that would change your units names to English seems a little daft if you ask me but anyhow unless you can change your own just delete the Gardes_Francaisespatch_en. Patch and remove it from the user script.

[Godless Pickle]

Nice skinning man, possibly give the officer a pike? Keep it up! +rep

[Singleton Mosby]

Great work, beautifull unit!

[Preussen Gloria]

actually i like the unit as it is ! pikes where used untill around the 40' of 18th centrury by most european armies to be then replaced by swords.
