Mongols: Bringing Justice to the Horde!

[Kalos]

Can't you just alpha-out the unwanted mask?

I tried that, it doesn't work like it did in Medieval 2. You delete the section and save it with DXT 5 and instead of like in Rome, where it alphas out that part, it just shows up as solid gray.

EDIT: Tried it with a different technique and it works now, but you still get a little white line that shows up from most angles, would you guys be fine with that?


EDIT II: I also noticed that as you zoom out more of the helmet becomes visible, though it's untextured and weird:

Very nice skins Kalos. What a difference right skin makes for the unit… they'r finally looking like units and not as bags of potatoes as vanilla present them.
Many players will welcome your skins.

I never play a campaign (long enough to encounter the Mongols), but my god what an improvement these are over that mess CA did. Great job!

Great Work, Brother..


Respect

Another update that includes an early, rough version of the captain! I've left the masks on for now until I get the public opinion on whether I should take them out and have that weird alpha-y bug with the white line and white mask when you get far away, or just leave them on.

[Kalos]

I fixed the general skin and also changed his armor a bit more! Hoorah!



Edit: Here's another screenshot.



Edit II: I have a poll about the masks question going on here.

Edit III: Here he is with his own normal mask texture, not that of the generic islam general which is for some reason really glossy.

Great work!

woow, that's really look like a mongle captain Kalos

Nice work, the Mongols actually look cool for the first time. Ofcourse it's WIP but I suggest you dont give them full beards though, most Asiatic people can only grow mustaches with goatees but little hair on the cheeks, if they grow any facial hair at all (but thats pretty 'duhh'). I can't even imagine a Chinese or Mongolian guy with the beard of a Spaniard if you know what I mean so in one of the screenshots it looks a little weird.

I got rid of that a while ago.

I couldn't then.

[Kalos]

Got an update with a General!. Yeah yeah I know the general's mouth is all weird but that's cause the model has a beard... I'll fix the texture later. I also updated some armors.

Looking good Kalos!

[SwiftBlade]

the mongols really needed a makeover

What would it take to convince you “acquire” a copy of MilkShape and replace those ugly vanilla lances, harpoons and swords?

Btw, I really like how you took initiative to do this on your own, instead of complaining to mod devs “why don’t you do this, and this….” as some members do.

I would but I have no money and... I'm not allowed to talk about other possibilities as a moderator.

Beautiful work!!!
