Lanjane's Mini-Workshop: Unit cards for Rome: Total War

[crazyroman]

Ok.First of all you must have packs in your directory.After go DATA - MODELS_UNIT - TEXTURES.Textures without models to fit : GREEK_ARCHER.TGA , GREEK_CREW.TGA (for all hellenic factions expect greek city - states) , greek_peltast_illyria.tga (intented for illyria faction ?) , unit_barb_archer.tga , unit_barb_archer.tga , unit_velite_gladiator.tga and unit_warband_sword for dacia , britania, scythia and spain.Some textures are in models_building too.

[crazyroman]

And can you tell me where you found the plautus patch 1.8 ? I cant find it .
Nevermind i find it.

[Lanjane]

My new minor contribution to the community. In the pack there are UIs for:
- noble cavalry, Thrace and Scythia
- barb archer (lost unit) - Dacia, Britons, Scythia and Spain*
- barb woad warrior (lost unit) - Britons
- barb cavalry (lost unit) - Britons
- scythian peltast - Scythia
- "noble spearmen" created using noble cavalrymen. As a special bonus for Lt.-Col. Dan, there are UI variants for almost every barbarian faction too.
- corrected card for noble cavalry (see UI's for Lt.-Col. Dan)
- carthaginian slinger with "lost units" briton texture
*means that texture is not that great fitting the actual model. Sleeves should be longer. However you won't notice this on the UI since I slightly edited UVW map when rendering. But I seriously suggest you to edit the texture.

Great!

[crazyroman]

Nice

[Lt.-Col. Dan]

And, Lt.-Col. Dan, your foot spearmen, I can handle them too.

As a special bonus for Lt.-Col. Dan, there are UI variants for almost every barbarian faction too.

Thank you very much, Lanjane. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it.

Guys what you say to form a team to find most of the lost units ? In my game i have found most of them from various mods.But some (like roman cataphracts i seen in a photo in gamespot) i cant create them myself.

[Lanjane]

Another pack of barbarians for "Lost Unit" Project with some extras.
- Barb Infantry Slave (Warband) - Britons, Germans, Gauls, Spain, Scythia, Dacia, Slave (new). Scythia and Spain textures are extras made by me, they are not "Lost". Well, scythian version is in game files, but wrong color (yellow instead of orange). I fixed this, and spain one is made by me.
- Naked Fanatics - Britons
- Barb Peasants (old version from Lost Units) - Britons, Gauls, Germans, Dacia, Scythia
- Swordsmen - Scythia
- Chosen Axemen (Lost Units) - Germans
- Warband Huntsman - Gauls, Spain*
- Night Raiders - Gauls, Germans (new)
- Warband Spear - Scythia
*Oh, it seems I get it. There is a mistake in "Lost units" thread, and the texture file
"unit_barb_warband_archer_iberia.tga" is for the same model as the texture "unit_barb_warband_huntsman_gaul.tga" The model is called unit_barb_warband_huntsman_400.cas.

crazyroman, feel yourself free to share any suggestions about what units should be implemented next. I'll render them if it is possible.

Nice work

[crazyroman]

Nice Lanjane.Anyways this night i will post some images and videos with units that are not in game files but they were in the game in beta

[Lanjane]

Re-rendered barbarian archer and huntsman which look much cooler now - in my opinion.
Also re-rendered sea raider archer for Lt.-Col. Dan too.

Thanks everyone for comments and support!

[crazyroman]

Here are the roman cataphracts i said earlier.You can see some roman horse archers like the ones in bi for wre

[crazyroman]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rl6v2W-w5-o 0:13 Gallic Axemen.The model is the same with barbarian standard bearer.0:25 Alternate gallic scirmishers.We have texture for this unit but the model has problems with shoulders.4:57 Gallic Spearmen.The model is the same with alternate barbarian peasants.

[Lanjane]

Oh, I see. You mentioned Time Commanders, it's a TV show which used Rome: Total War engine for reconstruction of famous historical battles. Specially for this show there were many units created from scratch, so they are not belong to "Lost Units" at all. Call it a mod, that will be true.

[crazyroman]

When i see the name lost units i dont think only the textures and models that are not used by the game.I think and some lost units i seen in videos.For example the gallic axemen.I have seen them in a early trailer of rtw.Here is the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_RPL2khaKQ

[Lt.-Col. Dan]

Thank you, Lanjane, for your kind words and for your support. Your UI's are better than CA's. But please tell me if you are interested with this:
-couple of days ago, I downloaded Blue Lotus mod (absolutelly gorgeous!) from here http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...r-MODFOLDERED!. But, since I can' t stay put, I took a strat_map figure and turned it into a unit.
Then, again, since I could't stay put, I mounted the same unit on a bull. The results where according to my expectations, and I think it can be a great unit
in a fantasy mod.

Roman archers reskin, tribute to those from beta:

Of course my version is not exactly the same, but I hope you like it.
Regarding the dmb entry, you should use sprites from auxillia archers, it's close enough.

crazyroman, do you know what model is used with textures unit_barb_warband_sword_XXXX.tga.dds (there are versions for britons, dacia, iberia and scythia)? I'm sure there was such unit in early version of Darth Mod.

Lt.-Col. Dan, well, in Blue Lotus there is its own style for UI (hand-drawn), not renders from 3dMax...

[crazyroman]

Lanjane is awesome!!About the textures there is a model for them and is the same model with the chosen swordsmen gauls,britons and dacia have.

[Lt.-Col. Dan]

Lt.-Col. Dan, well, in Blue Lotus there is its own style for UI (hand-drawn), not renders from 3dMax...

Oh, no, Lanjane, I'm not saying that they should be for Blue Lotus, but for other fantasy mods also...

[ahowl11]

Are you going to finish the lost units? It'd be nice to see the rest
