Adding Existing Infantry to Steeds.

Just wondering if I'd be able to put the following unit on horses.

I want to add a horse which is called eastern armoured horse in the EDU.

I've got them on the horse in the EDU, no problem, but from what I understand, because they are told to use Horse Riding animations, they "run" on the back of a horse.

In addition, the armoured horse is fine as it is on the other units in the EDU (unedited by me), but it appears on this one as a messed up texture. How do I sort it out, please? Mucho Appreciated in advance.

The way you've worded that is a bit confusing for me...

Is the rider sat or stood on the back of the horse at present?

Also, regarding it's texture being 'messed up', is the mount set up correctly for the faction in battle_models? (it's probably called 'Mount_Eastern_Armoured_Horse' in there)

Post up your EDU entry and the battle_models mount entry, please

Okay, sorry about that.

It's actually standing - see pic -

Sorry, I'm not sure which one is which.

OK, late at night and at first glance I think this is the solution:

Code:

type Elf Nobel Mount
dictionary Elf_Nobel_Mount ; Elven Nobels
category cavalry
class heavy
voice_type General
banner faction main_cavalry
banner holy crusade_cavalry
soldier Elf_Nobel_Mount, 8, 0, 1.2
mount eastern armoured horse
attributes sea_faring, hide_forest, very_hardy, can_withdraw, can_formed_charge, knight, free_upkeep_unit, general_unit
formation 1.2, 1.2, 2.4, 2.4, 4, square
stat_health 5, 0
stat_pri 42, 15, no, 0, 0, melee, melee_blade, piercing, spear, 25, 1
stat_pri_attr ap, area,
stat_sec 26, 7, no, 0, 0, melee, melee_blade, piercing, sword, 25, 1
stat_sec_attr ap,
stat_pri_armour 16, 29, 15, metal
stat_sec_armour 0, 0, flesh
stat_heat 6
stat_ground 1, -1, -2, 1
stat_mental 16, disciplined, highly_trained
stat_charge_dist 80
stat_fire_delay 0
stat_food 60, 300
stat_cost 1, 0, 0, 75, 75, 860, 4, 100
armour_ug_levels 3
armour_ug_models Elf_Nobel_Mount
ownership egypt, denmark
era 0 egypt
era 1 egypt
era 2 egypt
recruit_priority_offset 5

If you want the horse to use the same texture for your new nation as it did for the old then you just need to copy the entry for the old, and overwrite the entry for the new.

Below is an example:

Code:

5 moors
77 unit_models/Mounts/ME_Armoured_Horse/textures/me_armoured_horse_moors.texture
78 unit_models/Mounts/ME_Armoured_Horse/textures/me_armoured_horse_normal.texture
58 unit_sprites/moors_Mount_Eastern_Armoured_Horse_sprite.spr
5 egypt
77 unit_models/Mounts/ME_Armoured_Horse/textures/me_armoured_horse_moors.texture
78 unit_models/Mounts/ME_Armoured_Horse/textures/me_armoured_horse_normal.texture
58 unit_sprites/egypt_Mount_Eastern_Armoured_Horse_sprite.spr

You can see in red I've copied the moors texture over to the egypt entry.
