using only one model

**kingsley** · April 23, 2009, 06:55 PM

is it possible to use only one of the models. for example the officers uses two different models is it possible to use only one off them?

Yes. Use the Pack File Manager to change all the models to the same one.

Yes, it's possible, but its a little bit of work. What you must do is to change the texture.
There are 2 uniforms, so you decide which one you want and copy this one over the other. Same for other units. Best with photoshop nad PackFileManager as un/packer.

thats the problem. the 3d models isn't the same so you cant simply copy the textures. like the grenadiers they have one whit a longer coat. so is it posible to use only one of them lets say i only want to use the one whit the longer coat?

Have you tried what Joe suggested? That should work.

If u want to apply prussian grenadier textures on a french grenadier model it wont work, u need to mod the texture because uniform, helmets and straps are differents between the 2 models. Generally i guess if CA made 2 models its because it need 2 differents models, so u need to manage the change....

It seams my point haven't come trough. In every model the computer generates different faces, jackets, boots etc. so what i want to do is to use only one of the jacket and i cant simply copy the first jacket to the other one because they don't use the same model. Like the grenadiers they have to types in the same model one whit a bit longer jacket and folded up in the front. And i only want to use the other one. so what i am wondering is this possible. or do i have to wait until there is a way to export the meshes?

Currently, Joe's method is the only solution since we can't edit models yet. And that's okay because his suggestion works. Take a look at my thumbnail. It's the grenadiers all wearing the same uniform. After I cut and pasted the long jacket over the short one, there was a corner that was showing white in-game. I went to that part of the texture and cut it out of the alpha layer and it now looks transparent, as you can see (I circled the area). The cuffs need a little editing too, but you should be able to make it work.
