Ancien Regime ETW re-texture ( France, Poland-Lithuania, etc...)

[Celareon]

Hello Orion,

I know you've joined the Regalia team so work is progressing more slowly, but I just wanted to check in and say that I enjoy using your textures so much, and I love the "Ancien Regime" angle, just fantastic.

Amid the dozens of re-texture projects, I always found this one to be specifically to my liking, I use every single texture you've produced.

I impatiently look forward to your new work,

WOW have a look at this

11 new units, well I guess Ancine Régime will need an update sooner than I expected but it is still good news. Maybe we'll see hussars for France so I will defenetaly need to do thoses and maybe I'll work a little more on my french blue wich looks a bit prussian maybe...

The Blue I used for France

...and the prussian Blue

Ah.... but for now the new units are not out yet and I better finish what I have already started. btw Poland-Lithuania is at 80 % complete for v01 at least. The amount of information I found on Poland-Lithuania is nothing compared to what I have found on France. I had to make a few guess and bend a fews rules to make a full reskin but If I find more info later I'll update my textures accordingly...

Good!

So skins for officers and skins for musican with three-corner hat? Ok?

That was the exactly what I was thinking . Since I had design Ancien Régime to be compatible with mostly everthing, I made some historical sacrifices but your your project little details like that are a must! I'll keep you up updated with the progress...

Could you make more unit regiment textures for the French??

Could you make more unit regiment textures for the French??

For isilendil unit pack, I guess ? Well, this is a thing I would like but for now, I have enough work already...
First, I have to finish Poland, make french officers and musician for the 5 unit of the unit pack, finish my spanish re-texture and also I would like to make a little re-make of Remo's Prussia's re-texture ( texture are suberb but I would like to change a few units on add a few details here and there like a more detailed grenadier head plate etc... )Now I try to master the art of making normal.dds files and I try to improve the faces of the officers and musician.
So as you can see, I have a lot of work going on so new units may wait a little but it is some thing on my mind...

very good skins! could u just please explain better how to install them?

Sorry! I have the same problem.

I've downloaded your files and basically they are in a format nothing on my computer recognises (e.g. not Zip or RaR) so I figured they must be ready to go.

So, I copied them in to the ETW data folder directly but they are classified as .7Z files rather than .PACK so Mod Manager isn't picking them up.

Completely stumped now. Can anyone explain in layman's terms what I need to do to get these files working?

Awesome new textures! Really impressive work +rep 33orion77!

Hello all,
a quick response to KLA's comment

Nice! (you can add more mustaches for Cavalry units, Cuirassiers example)

I think you're right. I realize that I may have neglected the faces of my textures ( wigs and mustaches) and, it is something I work on... I'm making some research

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

does Super Mario hold the solution or here maybe...
Needless to say that mustache are a concern but I still have to perfect my barber skills...

Thanks for your comments and support,

Hi Orion - looks great! But is this compatible with The Rights of Man mod? Please advise.
Thanks
K

[33orion77]

Since TROM is changing textures and model, I fear it may not be compatible. honestly, I never tried TROM maybe some stuff may work but I can't guarantee the results...I know for sure that there will be a problem with the militia. I guess you can make it compatible by repacking or deleting some texture in double but I'll need to have a serious look at TROM to know exactly what to do to make it compatible. I'll try to give you some feedback...

[The Kurgan]

Hi Orion - am I right in understanding that your pack types are Mods or are they Patches? I use TROM so I need to know that all your French Ancien regime changes is the texture only and doesn't add any new units or change stats. many thanks!
