Pikemen with Helmets

[♔ brucedickenson♔]

Could someone just make a little mod that gives the pikemen the hakkapeliitta helmet please?

There is already a helmet-wearing Swiss pikeman in the Additional Units Mod.

Yes I see but I would just like a basic change to normal pikemen, Im not keen on having hundreds of units ingame.. cheers anyway though ..unless its possible to just have the swiss pikemen?

I'll see what I can do. I do know how to replace the existing pikeman model with another. I can't make models but I can make textures. So one idea might be to use an existing model with a helmet and remove the rest of the armour texture.

It would be nice to replace the pikemen model with that of the settlers from RTI ep1.

There are already Swiss armoured pikemen in the AUM mod. If what you mean is that you want to remove the old pikemen model form the game then de-facto I could do that by using the units_to_exclusive_faction_permissions tables to set the availability for each faction of the euro_pikeman unit to "False".

It's simpler then that. Just find the euro_pikemen entry in unit_stats_land (using the PFM), and change the model name used to episodic_armoured. That will make them use the Hakkapelita model, which is what the swiss pikemen use in the additional units mod, so it will save you downloading it. You could also try changing it to "euroline", which gives your pikemen the line infantry model, and looks quite nice in my opinion.
