Sweet, thanks!

Edit: One more thing, how did you prevent them from getting super shiny. All their white clothes now look like aluminum foil...

[HannibalExMachina]

white seems to be always problematic, even if the normals are right. make sure everything non-metal is black on the normal's alpha channel, and make the white on the texture less pristine, ie a bit yellowish.

Ah, I'll try that, thanks!

There's a trick to making good alphas in Taro's Bag of Tricks (trick nr 5 that is)

I dont know nothing about skining or modelling. HxM u say is easier with GIMP? (may i will try to learn a bit)

For mapping i use photosop cs4. (and other programs, but the important thing is i understood u said "gimp easier than pthotosop for skining", right?)

[Mhaedros]

Photoshop is definitely easier for skinning, everything is more refined. It might take some getting used to, but when you know it, it's much better.

[HannibalExMachina]

tru dat.

damn, missed celebrating the 7777th post.

Sure, Photoshop's better, but GIMP is free XD. Plus, having everything windowed is really nice for modding as you can multi-task better.

Hey admiral , I wanted to ask you what do you use to create new faction symbols ?

[AdmiralThrawn]

I'm using GIMP. I found a blank metal shield picture. I then erased the center, leaving the outer ring. Then I copy/pasted the symbols I had made into the center. Finally, I took a 50% transparency of the original shield, and overplayed that to make it look cool. If you want, I could put together a more detailed tutorial in the mod workshop?

[JonSnow7]

Thanks Admiral , it would be great if you could make that tutorial when you have time. I'm learning a little bit about modding and this is one of the things I would like to learn.

[Elbadruhel]

I know how to map, how to create traits, ancs, buildings, change recuitment and bulidng issues... But i know hardly nothing about 2d and 3d things. So if u create any kind of tutorial it would be great ^^.

I read u were going to use the Essos TW units. One thing i really want to learn is how to take one mod units and move them to my own mod, giving them to the factions i wish. Could u explain me how to do that or give any tutorial?

Greetings!

[Mhaedros]

There should be plenty of tutorials about adding units to mods in the M2TW modding workshop, I doubt there's any need to make new ones

[Elbadruhel]

Yes yes.

What i tried to say to him was: explain it if was easy and fast OR to give me te link of a good tutorial about it, maybe the one he used to learn to do it ^^.

Honestly theres so many good ones out there, I'd say just Google it . I'll be super busy for the next week (finals) so I probably won't be able to work on this or a tutorial, sorry .

[JC_CESAR]

Is there any screenshot of the Essos tw unit ?

[AJTheGreat]

So how is progress coming on the mod, need any help that does not involve anything complicated, but could involve writing descriptions or finding pictures?

[AdmiralThrawn]

I've pretty much stopped work on this to do AOPK 2.0. I'll probably resume after we've got a good look at the Battle of Fire in Book 6.

I never integrated them into the mod, units is not where my expertice lies.. however they look pretty damn exotic from what I could tell by the skins
