Legions march with pila Mod and Tutorial

[terzer]

Hello, after few sleepless nights I managed to add a animation, in which the legionares (or any units you like) carry pila when marching and use their swords in battle.

THIS MOD IS VISUAL ONLY! IT DOESN'T CHANGE ANY BATTLE ABILITIES! It changes only animations. The fire at will is working fine

Anybody feel free to make a mod if he wants.

What it does:
Units march/walk with spears in their hand, but when charging and in melee combat they're switching to swords.

At long last the true legion vision

Tutorial:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

First open data_rome2.pack or create a new pack file.
In animations\animation_fragments folder add this:

https://www.mediafire.com/?1vu1ek6d3jy9e6m

Second in animations\animation_tables in animation_tables.txt add a new entry with this:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

animation_table rome_man_spear_shield_pila
{
skeleton_type rome_man_game
skeleton_type_cinematic rome_man


fragment rome_man_unarmed_fragment
fragment rome_man_cinematic_fragment
fragment rome_man_spear_shield_pila
fragment rome_man_sword_shield_matched_combat_fragment
fragment rome_man_javelinmelee_fragment
}

Third in land_units_tables\land_units edit the man_animation row for the unit you want to change to: rome_man_spear_shield_pila

And last you have to edit the unit in the variant editor and add a spear or pila model to the weapon1 holder. Then check the weapon_1 attach point checkbox!!!

And you're ready!

Do you know how to mod the placement of the sword when carrying the pila? For example i have sheaths on my units and would need the sword to fit in the sheaths perfectly

[Marcus Iska]

Itleonard it would be awsome if you include this animation in your mod !

I'm not releasing a mod, because there are too many mods, modifying the db, animation tables, but you can do it yourself for 2mins. Anybody feel free to make a mod if he wants.

also what mod are you using for these screen pics?

Hello, could you share your version of the mod for those who are totally noob in modding ?

If you have DEI, try this:
https://www.mediafire.com/?mx5r62u9fn7exmu

Place it above DEI in the mod manager

I have to edit the animation files (the skeleton), but I don't know how to do that. Maybe it's easier to edit the placement of the sheath models.

also what mod are you using for these screen pics?

Your mod, mixed with DEI (returned back the shields and edited some). That's why I'm not releasing.

This was fixed in previous patch as the legions March with pika default

Didn't get it. What patch?

[Marcus Iska]

I tried your link Terzer, I'm using DEI but my game freeze on the starting menu.

[ToonTotalWar]

Didn't get it. What patch?

Patch 15, since then my legions March with pila use them three times then switch to the Gladius in melee combat

[terzer]

Marcus Iska, try this:

Also make sure you're running latest DEI (1.03) and put this mod ABOVE Dei in the loading order.

Can you share you GEM preset terzer? Looks really good. I'm not so much at tweaking this thing. My current preset is ok but during rain and night battle it's so dark I can't recognise the units.

And if it's not too much to ask, can you make one pack for non DeI . I'd be in your debt

Check the first post

As for GEM, it's the vanilla 1.0.6, I haven't edited the presets. Maybe your gem.pack is not activated in the data folder?

[diego007]

Ok I'll try out the mod.

No my gem is fine, it's ok during day and bright battles, but when the battle happens in the rain or at night it's dark. It's the preset I don't like but I'm not very good at tweaking these things and I find your picture pretty nice so

Then disable gem.pack, it will revert back the vanila battle lighting which is brighter. Or try different GEM presets (True color, Natural color... they are in the configurator)

Hi,
if you play without mods (vanila) download this:
https://www.mediafire.com/?n3r1qfdq3dxel2k

If you play with DEI mod download this:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/mx.../Dei_anim.pack


Put the pack file in the data folder and enable it with the Mod manager.
