Okay I promise to make an update tommorow for the weekend.
There will be changes for some strat_models.. general_skin recolors and added a few things.

5 min ago I recolored the byzantium general as he was pink before... I couldn't stand it

[Barser]

Some of the modified king strat models.

novgorod ________poland_________ scotland _______denmark _______portugal _______hungary _______hre

[Barser]

And another one: (how did that muslim guy sneak in there )

france ________england_________ byzantine _______norway _______kwarez _____koj_____aragon______ireland
(Spain use the same as there faction leader battle model and papal states/venice/templer still use there fancy_gen skin which I hanv't touched... yet)

I think I have enough with this included to make an update for the weekend. It actually did take me a loonger time that I thought to make these strat model .. I don't mind it though.
Time to sleep

Ehh that is not how he looks on the battlefield it is the general strat they have changed back.

faction byzantium
dictionary 2
strat_model southern_general
strat_model southern_general ; heir
strat_model northern_generic_king ; leader
battle_model Northern_General

(southern general is the same as all the other catholic ones.)

and this is how it is in mine.

faction byzantium
dictionary 2
strat_model aztec_general
strat_model aztec_general ; heir
strat_model northern_generic_king ; leader
battle_model Norman_general

(and andronicus battle_model for faction leader )

You want to remove the aztec general which I believe is a skin from rome total war and replace it whith the original?
I guess that would be okay. Then the above byzzie_battle_model skin wont be used though.

[Barser]

I think the strat map models is much better now. Only cumans and lithuania is using the ugly barbarian skin.

As soon as I am done making a kievan_rus strat model king I will upload. I really like the update myself.

Oh, okay i thought it changed so he would like he does on the battlefield.. but apparently not.. Hm.. But in your new update you wont change the Byzie emperors battlefield skin right?

[Barser]

The byzzie is the only one using that bearded guy now :-).
There is a lot of changes to the battle models. It should suit each faction much better now and the ortodox factions don't got that barbarian one no more.

You should also check out the muslim factions (except mongols).

I am quite happy with all the changes myself :-) (though I had to make changes to more files this time)

Like to hear what you think about it all.

[Magus]

I think they're pretty sweetness, I have them in my campaign gj thanks man!

[Barser]

Thanks a lot my friend I used the whole last night tweaking and skining so I could come up with an update today for the weekend.

I wonder if anybody have tried the new age skins? I personatly never go that far into a campaign but with late campaign it should be possible I guess

I don't wanna brag but I think v4 is a big improvement to ss6.1 and really makes the game much more enjoyable. Then again that must be why I made it

Of course it is nothing compared to your mod

[aNarion.]

Nice update Barser! Think im gonna start a new campaign along with this.. But as before, a compatible file for novgorod mod, and also if its possible could you also upload the script and descr_strat changes, in only text format. because i've made several changes in the campaign_script and descr_strat files lately.

[Barser]

ANarion: Yup I will do that

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

descr_strat.

open the descr_strat from my download and search for "battle_model" then copy those to your descr_strat faction leaders (like battle_model norman general).
That goes for both late and normal campaign if you want your faction leaders to start with unique skins. (I know it can be anoying but that is the only way)

Hi, Barser, is it possible you can make a battle_models.db file compatible with the AOR system that Bansai! put on? the Link for that is following, as he mod heavily on that file, and I would like to put your general skin mod compatable to his, thanx.

Cant really promise this one works.. If it don't work it will crash at game start.

[aNarion.]

Thanks man!

Hm, but do i have to make those changes within the descr_strat, if i had your descr_strat from V3?
Because as far as i have checked the battle_model lines about faction leaders is the same as in my current descr_strat.

there is small changes to the desc_strat... it would be more easy to use the one from v3 and add the missing ones. just do a fast check as I cant remember excatly which one I changes. I think it is russia/kievan_rus and the muslim factions.

[aNarion.]

Hehe.. okay, well i dont want to be to much of a problem, and i guess its so spread out those lines. better if i just take the V4 descr_strat file, and remake my changes.

Thanks for helpout anyhow!

[ricebowl]

to Barser: The Model file didn't work, crashed big time, bad...

wells, Reinstalling everything now... Dont know what caused this...
