the norman general

[Filip_bre]

is extra, i cant beleive they didnt use it as the general of more factions, i would like to use it as the general of england and or france, i tried and didnt get that skin with the crown. What should i do ?

i went in exp model battle and there is no rufus or duc guillaume !!

[Filip_bre]

i cant beleive nobody is replyin, this could be profitable to many of us, anybody ?

[Sir Vikström]

Yeah the norman general looks cool but it's not really necesarry the current generals look good i would rather want to change the captains they look like **** if they stand with a group of spearmen or peasants it looks silly since he is walking around with a shiny armour and if he stands with a group of shiny knights they look better then him

[Filip_bre]

the captains look like aliens to me, just not the aztec and muslim one


so how do we manage to use the norman general ?

[Zorgrath]

simple just edit the descr_character.txt here i'll give an example, allright i'am going to make it so the english king will have the norman king/pope as a named character and the aztec as a normal general

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
type named character
(that stands for named generals )
underneath find

faction england
dictionary 2
strat_model northern_general
battle_model Northern_General
battle_equip gladius, chainmail shirt helmet and rectangular shield

change to

faction england
dictionary 2
strat_model pope
battle_model Norman_King
battle_equip gladius, chainmail shirt helmet and rectangular shield

then find
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
type general
(that stands for normal generals )
underneath find

faction england
dictionary 2
strat_model northern_captain
battle_model Northern_Captain
battle_equip gladius, chainmail shirt helmet and rectangular shield

change to

faction england
dictionary 2
strat_model aztec_general
battle_model Aztec_General
battle_equip gladius, chainmail shirt helmet and rectangular shield

or

faction england
dictionary 2
strat_model aztec_captain
battle_model Aztec_Captain
battle_equip gladius, chainmail shirt helmet and rectangular shield

its pretty straight forward stuff it tells you what everything is at the top of the file anyways, hope this helps.

I'm pretty sure using the norman_king battle model makes your general appear invisible.

[Zorgrath]

the only reason that would be is becuase it isnt set up in the battle_models.modeldb that he is available for said faction, i'll take a look
EDIT: ya its in the battle_models.modeldb section

if that dosnt work tell me (note: this is only enabling the norman king not the aztec captain/gen)
(note: you have to do the top steps first in my other post)
(note: inbetween the 0 and 1 you have to have 2 spaces __ not _ '0 1 7 normans 61' '0 1 7 england' '0 4 4 None 15 MTW2_Non_Shield' '0 1 18 MTW2_Sword_Primary' '0 1 18 MTW2_Sword_Primary' '0 1 18 MTW2_Sword_Primary' '0 1 18 MTW2_Sword_Primary')
