PDGURU's EUROPEAN EQUIPMENT MOD

!!! OVER 7000 Downloads of all Versions !!!

Revised Backpacks

New packs and changed items.

Lances

Revised lance head/blade to be more appropriate for period and wrapped pennon (flag) added.

Muskets

Musket barrels have been lightened to be more metallic and shiny - no more black or dull grey barrels. Parts given more highlighting to improve appearance a little. Wholly new flintlock mechanism. Based on suggestion by Chosen Man Richard Sharpe.



Bayonet

Bayonet fittings have been changed (within the limits of the mesh model) to show the barrel and end the "blobbiness" of the vanilla. Bayonet blades made steely, shiner and sharper-looking.

Swords

Swords have shiny steel blades, and not the lead-like finish of vanilla. Finally, when the cavalry draw and wave those swords, you can see 'em blazin! New hilts.

Flagstaff Pike Head

Dark lead-like pike head replaced with a shiny gold color.

Ammo Box (French Inspired)

Has eagle badge.

Drum (French Inspired)

Authentic drum of the period added for European factions.

Installation

Just place the attachment in your data folder and add to user.script.

No - this mod has revised muskets. And previous mod discontinued because this now has broader changes.

[Pdguru]

Sword textures now more metallic.

PdGuru, can you tell me the difference between the 3 file types? I put the thrid one in my data folder and had a crash to desktop, and there were no other conflicting mods. (I guarentee it, just finished a reinstall, your's was the first mod I tried). Thanks, and Happy New Year!

The third one is the latest and has the newer sword texture. The mod just changes three .dds files so not sure what would be causing a crash for you - I haven't experienced it, and no other such reports so far. I would expect a problem to appear as odd-looking skins, not a crash. When do you get the CTD?

Sorry chap, my mistake, I usually change my mods to mod pack, changed it back and it works perfect. excellent work!

[E.K]

Looks good as always

Sorry Bruce - no idea how to do it for empire - I assume it means doing all the work again... inclusing learning how to mod Empire... and I just don't have time. Anyhow - the vanilla bayonets in ETW are much better that NTW, right?

Update: Anyone like the look of these ammo bags?

[♔ brucedickenson♔]

They look great... please look for empire there are a fair few of us still slogging religiously through empire!

[yazzazin]

great ammo bags there

[Pdguru]

great ammo bags there

The problem is the the bag is shared across nations - so they all get what is clearly French eagle! I use it anyway as I only look closely at my forces and I always play the French.

[yazzazin]

same here i got no problem cause i always use france too.

[Good ole Reb]

I tested this today and had a little problem. The Austrians I was using looked great! Nice sharp, shiny bayonets. However, their Bavarian adversaries had no guns! lol

I'm using the All In One Mod, I suppose there's a conflict of some sort?

Otherwise, it looked great! Nice job!

In assume it's a conflict. This mod only changes textures. If of of the mods in the AIO compilation changes actual weapons, this could be the problem. Sorry it doesn't work for you.

MOD CLOSED.
