Making a small mod

**Fenwayb** · August 17, 2009, 11:47 AM

hey, ive been trying to make what seems to be a simple mod for a while now (ive done barely any modding so im not that great) and im just giving up now and asking for help (someone to make the mod for me) because ive figured out i just cant do it

heres the mod

Change the russian republic flag to the flag of the united baltic duchy (the one on wikipidiea)
change the russian uniforms to a dirty white kinda color (darker than the austrian uniforms)
change the russian campaign color to the same color

ive been trying ot get a modder to do this for the past couple of days and i just cant find some one to help me out. if ur a modder and u dont mind helping me out then please do cause i really wanna play as russia and i cant until then

I actually doubt your gonna find a modder to do the work for you.

Because most modders are busy with other mods.

Your gonna need skinning for the uniforms, and coding for the flag and the color i think.

how would i do it on my own cause ive been completely at a loss on how to mod these things

I can't remember where i read it but supposedly modding Empire is easier than Medieval. Start out by reading tutorials. I'll check them out and i'll recommend some.

EDIT:
Go over this page, you'll find helpful info: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=1108

If you also want more help you can post in this forum about the uniforms and the flag and in this one if you need help with text editing. Good Luck and you are gonna need to be really patient cause at first it's confusing. For the uniforms you will need a photo editing software, i suggest GIMP since it's free and powerful, that is unless you have Photoshop, or Paint.NET, it's less powerful but it's easier to use.

If i find anything new i'll let you know, unless you've found it already.

tx maybe u could find what i couldn't

um ive looked through most of those pages a couple times and i still cant find a simple step by step guide on how to do what i want to do

**Awqa Puriq** · August 17, 2009, 12:26 PM

This could help: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=238847

Specially read step 3, but start reading from the beginning so you know what's happening.

I'm gonna log off now but if you have a question feel free to send me a message, i could be some kind of help, and also feel free to post around and ask questions, modders here can help you more than me.

i suggest making threads in the Workshop. The people there are very friendly and help out a lot. Also, keep on trying. I had problems when i started modding ETW as well, but i have learned since then how to correct them. (still need to learn a lot more though
