    Default Assistance Please

    First off I love this mod! Respect to all involved.

    Now I have been working on adding the High Elves Faction as a replacement for the Cumans in the stainless steal mod. I've been editing stainless steal for a while so I couldn't just walk away Anyways I've transferred just about everything to replace the cumans and working successfully but I'm having two problems.

    First off, I can't get the general and captain units to display properly on the battle map. I've been at it forever and I don't know what I'm missing. I've had no problem with any other unit so I think I'm gana need a step-by-step on this one.

    Second, I can't change the banner for the cumans to the high elves.

    Any help with either would be great

    By not working properly you mean they're silver surfers? If so, most probably you ed up the modeldb entry, or the textures are not placed where they should.

    For the strat map banners, go to data/banners and search for the symbolsx.tga.dds that contains the cuman's symbol. Now go to the same folder in TATW and search for the one that contains the high elves' symbol. Copy the high elven symbol over the cuman one and youre ready. Just remember to do it in the dds file, or it won't show up. DON'T FORGET THE ALPHA CHANNEL!

    For battle map banners, there isn't really one. The banner file for h-elves is just a transparent image. You could just copy it from data/banners/textures, and rename it from egypt to cumans. That would at least get you rid of the cuman banners.

    You could download irfanview, and then the DDS plugin for it. Or use photoshop with the DDS plugin. For texture files use the texture2dds converter.
    But the symbol files are also in tga versions, so you should be able to locate what is where.
