desc_banner_new

[artorio]

Hi ,someone knows what I must modify in order to change the banner of the units in the battle map?

I would like to differentiate the banner between norman an english.

yes I am looking for the same thing as well.....

I figured out the campaign map banner....
Make sure the symbol index is point to the right one. By default it is 12 which is England's. I still can't figure out were the pointer is for the battle map banners....

First you will need to create a new faction banner for the Normans and a translucency texture of the new faction banner. The translucency banner is just your new faction banner in black&white. Then you'll need to change the various entries in the descr_banners_new.xml file. Look for all the entries that appear as such

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

<Texture Faction="Normans" DiffuseMap="banners\textures\Faction_banner_england.texture" TranslucencyMap="banners\textures\Faction_banner_england_trans.texture"/>

Change all these entries to reflect the name of your new banner files. For learning purposes we will call them Faction_banner_normans.texture and Faction_banner_normans_trans.texture.

So now your entries should look like this:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

<Texture Faction="Normans" DiffuseMap="banners\textures\Faction_banner_normans.texture" TranslucencyMap="banners\textures\Faction_banner_normans_trans.texture"/>

Tools you will need for this will be .dds plugin for either Photoshop or Gimp, depending on which image editing software you use.
