Roman Hoplites

[Hermephradites]

These arethe Roman hoplites that i have been trying to get working....and can't.
It only came with one cas file...this is what i have so far.

descr_model_battle.txt

type italian_hoplite
skeleton fs_fast_spearman, fs_fast_swordsman ; combat spear
indiv_range 40
texture romans_julii, data/models_unit/textures/ITALIAN_HOPLITE.TGA.DDS
model_flexi data/models_unit/ITALIAN_HOPLITE_100.cas, 15
model_flexi data/models_unit/ITALIAN_HOPLITE_200.cas, 30

model_sprite greek_cities, 60.0, data/sprites/greek_cities_greek_armoured_hoplite_sprite.spr
model_tri 400, 0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5f

I used the only cas file and made it into the 100,200,300 and 400.....does that work?

I get CTD just wheni go into cus bat mode....anythoughts?

[GiantMonkeyMan]

maybe it doesn't have a skin? or a sprite? i am not sure

[Empyrean]

The ownership line should read "romans_julii". Give that a try.

[Hermephradites]

None of the other units i've entered have it like that...still doesn't work.
Ok the CTD error i get is this "Insufficient video to load texture set"...?

[plasticfigurine]

on the texture line, change the entry to ITALIAN_HOPLITE.TGA...the 'DDS' part is your problem

[Hermephradites]

Da yeah thankyou..

You might want to change the

model_flexi data/models_unit/ITALIAN_HOPLITE_100.cas, 15
model_flexi data/models_unit/ITALIAN_HOPLITE_200.cas, 30
model_flexi data/models_unit/ITALIAN_HOPLITE_300.cas, 40
model_flexi data/models_unit/ITALIAN_HOPLITE_400.cas, max

to

model_flexi data/models_unit/ITALIAN_HOPLITE_400.cas, 15
model_flexi data/models_unit/ITALIAN_HOPLITE_300.cas, 30
model_flexi data/models_unit/ITALIAN_HOPLITE_200.cas, 40
model_flexi data/models_unit/ITALIAN_HOPLITE_100.cas, max

Since now, you use the lowest quality model when you zoom in at maximum

EDIT: oh, I saw you used the same model for all LODS, so then you could change it to:

model_flexi data/models_unit/ITALIAN_HOPLITE_400.cas, max
;model_flexi data/models_unit/ITALIAN_HOPLITE_300.cas, 30
;model_flexi data/models_unit/ITALIAN_HOPLITE_200.cas, 40
;model_flexi data/models_unit/ITALIAN_HOPLITE_100.cas, max

why add hoplites to the romans when you can go into export_desc_unit and change this line:

formation 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, square

to this:

formation 1, 1, 2, 2, 5, square, phalanx

and make Triarii use the Phalanx formation, and YES it does work exactly like the Greek Hoplites.
