I say that you take all the units who's UI's have no ground and make new ones. It's like they are standing on air lol

[unDa]

But you cant add ground to some units (hypaspists for example).
Iam talking about balance and some fixes, not just UI cards.

[ahowl11]

I know, it's just bugged me that there is not ground under some of the units like Deuteroi

[unDa]

2 Ahowl11: i think better fix some balance and graphics bugs, instead adding grass to info-cards :/ But you are right, some units really needs new info cards and textures. Here some portion of future fixes.



PS: Maraxus hetairoi models really great!

It will be nice if we still have at least little fixes to DTW for keeping it alive. This a great mod but if we abandon it, it will follow the RG fortune.

RG? Res Gestae?

[GeorgiBG]

Yes, it is a great mod but it needs from a lot bug fixing yet...

[ahowl11]

Those are good fixes!

[Spartan 666]

unDa you are a God! Those are issues that we never fixed and were left behind for years, now thanks to your dedication they will finally be solved. Unfortunately I cannot take part in this refining of DTW because I'm under heavy training phase for a possible deployment in A-Stan..but keep going, I will surely give it a play when I find some time!

[ahowl11]

What else needs to be fixed?

EDIT:

Today I went and took a look at every single unit ingame except for the Rebels. I will do them later. However, I found that MANY units are still in need of UI's and a few need textures.

Here is an organized list.

Missing files:
Failed to find texture:
'DTW/data/models_unit/textures/ICGS/mount_horse_light_greece2.tga'

These units have the correct Unit Cards but are missing the Grass to stand on in the Unit Info panel:

Levy Hoplites - Seleucids, Attalids, Macedon, Bactria, Epirus, Greeks, Achaeans, ICGS
Pantodopai - Seleucids, Attalids, Macedon, Thrace, Bactria, Epirus

*The Ptolemies units also have the wrong unit cards

These units need both Unit cards and Unit Infos, as they do not match with the actual unit:

Light Skirmishers - Attalids, Epirus, Greeks, Achaeans, IGCS
Slingers - Attalids, Epirus, Greeks, Achaeans, IGCS
Archers - Attalids, Epirus, Greeks, Achaeans, IGCS

Thracian Prodromoi - Thrace

Bactrian Heavy Cavalry - Bactria
Bactrian Horse Archers - Bactria
Legionary Cohort - Rome
Horse Archers - Parthia, Armenia
Cataphract Archers - Parthia, Armenia
Druids - Gauls, Celtic Tribes
Gallic Swordsmen - Gauls, Celtic Tribes, Getae (Celtic Tribes and Getai have a texture issue with their shield as well)
Tribal Slingers - Gauls, Celtic Tribes, Getae
Archer Warband - Gauls, Celtic Tribes, Getae
Barbarian Cavalry - Gauls, Celtic Tribes, Getae
Heavy Chariots - Gauls, Celtic Tribes (Also, the little banner on the back of the chariot needs to reflect the Gauls and Celtic Tribes banner instead of the vanilla Britons banner)

Ambarko - Iberia
General's Armoured Bodyguard - Iberia
Scythian Nobles - Scythia
Scythian Cataphracts - Scythia
Scythian Noble Archers - Scythia

These units just need Unit Cards:
Caetrati - Iberia
General's Bodyguard - Iberia

These units have the correct Unit Card and Unit Info, but need the right texture:
Peltastai - Ptolemies

These units need a new texture, Unit Card, and Unit Info:
Gastraphetes - Attalids

War Elephants for Parthia, Armenia, and Pontus need to not have the Indian Elephant from Alexander. The Parthians need a new texture for the Elephant riders.

I need to double check the Ballistas, Onagers, and Catapults units and then also look at the Rebel and AOR units.

Wow! How your army service is going? Are your real paratrooper now?

These units need a new texture, Unit Card, and Unit Info:
Gastraphetes - Attalids

Attalid gastraphets now have own texture. Info and unit cards are ready.

I just want to say you guys are doing a great job. Keep at it! I'll be cheering for you guys from the sidelines.

Oh my god, finally someone is taking action to correct some of the bugs in this mod, GREAT Work!!! Now if only someone can do the same for Res Getae.

[GeorgiBG]

After finishing this great job I think that we can call this patch 1.22.

[ahowl11]

Nice job unDa, we can cross them off the list!

[unDa]

Fixed some bugged info and unit cards. Egyptian peltastai texture are fixed too

[RedFox]

The unit fixes look amazingly true to the original DTW style - you've really done a great job Keep up the good work unDa!

[unDa]

Some fixes for units (thx to ahowl11). Still WIP.

[ahowl11]

Keep it up man!
I edited the list so you can see what you have done and what you have left to do.
