(REQUEST) Change Silvan Elite Skins

[Himura]

There's a whole world's of difference between Silvan skins and High Elf skins.... I'd just like for the gap to be closed....

Even a little change, such as changing the color of the cloak, would help. That snot green color is horrible.... Perhaps something a little darker would suffice....

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

They look awesome, especially the retextured armour.

You're my hero... haha... Love it Just like the movie... Ihave been requesting this since the previews... they look amazing +rep...

do you think you could make it compatible with 3.2 and RC? that sounds like a tall order... D:


Edit: My Oh My the textures are GORGEOUS.

Have you thought about making the bows uniform? Like the movie bows? This is a replica of the movie bow... If you don't have time or don't want to do it I mean it's completely fine haha

I'm not really sure how to do that, especially when the model for the Silvan Elites doesn't even have a bow so it draws it from somewhere else. If you look in the picture, all the bows have the same skin except some are single curved and some have the proper double curve. Also.. the bow in that video doesn't even look like the one in the movies at all..

Since this only replaces the model and texture files, they are over-write compatible with any mod. Tell me if you have any other suggestions before I upload these, though I would like to find a way to fix those bows..

Is that the Sindar Bodyguards?

[rsslcs]

[hijack] Personally, I like that a lot! +rep. Good way to tell the two factions apart. [/hijack]

they look great

How about we get them included as the graphical representation of an armor upgrade? That way, we get sweet artwork as well as a representation of gameplay depth!

Here are the bows.... they are symmetrical... so the bottom will look like the top

Here is a recc... maybe make the arrow feathers white... just to see how it looks

As for the Bows... I seriously have no idea where the bows are coming from... I'll ask King Kong

That would take some text editing which is beyond my realm of skill. (It would also negate universal compatibility)

Uhh yeah.. you probably won't be getting a response

[Himura]

haha.

do you think the white arrow would look better than the gold/beige color?

[bilwit]

I think the difference is largely negligible.. I just whitened them right now though. I can't do anything about the bow other than the retexture. I experimented on the sentinel model which does have the bow in its model file but apparently you can't increase their size to the proper proportions without the animations completely ing them up in game.

[Himura]

Words can not express how awesome you are. Thanks for everything. + rep of course!!!

When panning out from a distance the green capes start to appear. Is there anyway to fix this?

I don't know how but the sprite files have to be edited somehow. GL with that

You should also notice that the Galadhrim wear dark red cloaks as opposed to the Eldar blue or the green of vanilla TATW. There was a mod that changed it thus, but it did not change all the armoured units or the captains/generals on the battlefield and campaign. That would be plenty of change and change enough.

Oh, and something else to make them truer to the films and the majority of family portraits- make the captains/ generals blonde

In the movies they wear dark blue cloaks with the exception of Haldir who wears red I also made all of the actual units blonde before I uploaded the files -- the problem is that both elf factions share the same texture so all of the Rivendell elves will be blonde too.. I don't know if that includes officers and generals.

Could it be possible to create a seperate file and tell the engine to seek out the individual ones instead?

If its in game warrior hair you're talking about, that was perfect enough TBH...

DaC has 4 different Elven factions Lindon, Imladris, Galadhrim and Eryn Lasgalen (Greenwood).

I recommened/ suggested to them that they should have blue cloaks for Imladris, red for Galadhrim and green for the Woodland Elves (Perhaps a purpley shade for Lindon also?). It would help to distinguish between them and it gives each faction more of a different flavour.
