Stainless Steel Total Combat 1.2 released (+ hotfix for 6.1).

[Chim]

Welcome to the Stainless Steel Total Combat 1.0 minimod. (or SSTC1 for short)

This mod adds Standard bearers to all factions including KK's new ones and enhances battle gameplay trough the use of new animations.
I recommend you use this together with my Realistic Archery and Javelins 1.3 mod.

• I dare say that all missing textures are fixed.

Changelog 1.1c:

• Fixed missing textures for lithuania and the Templars.
• Added missing textures for Cuman horse archers. (Thank you wolfslayer.)
• Added the option to disable the new horse animations.
• Smoothened out game play. No more laggy battle sue to my mod.
• Fixed lithuanian missing shield + weapon textures.

Version 1.0

• Added officers and banners made by Niko to all units excluding horse archers. Peasant and low tier units do have an officer but no standard bearer.
• Increased crossbow effectiveness. (for those using RAJ 1.3)
• Added new animations made by Niko. The animations include but are not limited to: Chaotic cavalry charges, New unit collision, appropriate death animations and more.
• Added KK's bodyguard nerf that will be included in SS 6.1.

Installation:
#1: Install SS 6.0
#2: Install SS 6.1 Hotfix, tick RR (and Grim Reality III if you like)
#3: Install SSTC 1.0, untick where it asks if you use RAJ 1.3 (since you don't use it...yet)
#4: Install SSTC 1.2, untick where it gives you a double negative about RAJ 1.3
#5: Install the latest RR update from the RR thread (the one that has SSTC in the name)
#6: Install the SSTC hotfix, tick where it asks if you want to install RAJ

Then finally install the hotfix, and you're set.

Compatibility issues?:
This mod should be compatible with any other mod as long as they do not change the models.db or EDU.

Anything else?:
If you have any specific questions or would like to see my mod compatible with another, post here or pm me in private.

This mod is a 100% save compatible.

Special thanks to:
NIKO aka MAXHARDMAN: For the banners and animations.
Raven Darkwing: For his Beautiful Flag textures for Aragon and Genoa and numerous suggestions and support.
gracul: For teaching me how to make an installer.
King Kong: For helping me test the mod and use his EDU changes.
Point Blank: For his wonderful Real Recruitment modification.
All others that have supported me trough the long hours.

Finally!
Excellent work mate!

Download this mod people, it's amazing!

[redmanPH]

sweet dl-ing now

quick question, when you said "bodyguard nerve," err, what does that mean? or do you mean nerf?

and since there're banners already anyway, you think it's a good idea to set "show_banners" to 0 in the .cfg file?

[IZ-Master]

can I just put this over the fix pack ?

I meant nerf, and the installer does the .cfg change for you.

I think you can, however I forgot to add wolfslayer' Kazaks fix so they will not have a skin in my mod. I will upload an update very soon though.
