[♔Pom♔]

Quite the excellent British re-skin mod you have here old boy.

I cannot wait to test these out on the my old junker here. Looking forward to seeing them march to the ol' Union Jack on the battlefield.

Thank you Solex, I'm enjoying doing my home faction, new update this Sunday or Monday.

Hi SPQR, if you mean that you want to add a second battalion for all the guards, then the easiest way is to open the mod, with DB editor, find the entries for the guards and clone them, then rename all the entries to whatever you like, you won't need to change the warscape_animated_lod_tables or the warscape_animated_tables, as you will be using the same model, you should also get the same icon appear in game.
To add their name to the game ie. "The 1st battalion Coldstream Guards", you need to open the UCP loc file with PFM, go to the bottom of this and you will see how the names are added in, just add yours and save.
Be patient with both tools as they can be a little tricky, you may have to play around a bit with the DB editor as it dosn't always let you clone.
Hope this helps

Thanks gary, hadn't forgotten you, as for the new DLC, great if we could use it for modding, theres a couple of models that would be ideal, the US grenadier has a different mitre, maybe for the British and
the light dragoon would be great, but as additional units, adds very little to my game.

Thank you Sir Digby, always enjoy your work, need more done with the eastern factions.(I'm very euro centric I'm afraid).

On a seperate note am I the only one who's having problems with the multi quote button??

General William Howe
Hi your textures are fine but i think you can make nicer late line infatry cuz i don't like very much the early 18th century
Malagant
hi POM, which units will you release soon??
or will it be a surprise??
EarlofWarwick
Respectfully, I must disagree. Please cover more of the Seven Years War! Your work is fantastic, Pom!
jackwei
I agree we already have toon's mod AWI/ TAR for the later British units already and focusing on the seven years wars/Austrian War of Succession is for the better

Hi guys, first off sorry for the odd reply format but my multi quote button seems to hate me,
anyway thanks for all the kind comments, sorry General Howe but the Earl and jackwei are right, even if Toon wasn't the master of the late period, I would still do the mid century period as it's what interests me the most, I'm a red leg man, and Malagant I did post a preveiw, but here they are, may also add another unit, if all goes well.

Light Dragoons..Horse..........Militia

Hi sorry for my bad comment your mod is very good with good quality so +rep but i'm a fan of the late redcoats if you can you can add white wig's to your guard or line infantry

[Dain]

Why? They weren't worn in this era.. and neither they nor powdered hair were really worn on campaign. They fall into the terrible cliche view of the British army..

[EmperorBatman999]

Are you going to make some bearskin cap grenadiers?

Hi general, thanks for the +Rep, 2 reasons I don't use wigs , the first is as Dain points out below, they weren't taken to war, except for officers, and second, I've never managed to do a convincing wig they all look like someone has dropped a pot of white emulsion on their heads. So will continue to avoid them.

Hi Emperor, no, I try to stick to mid century, the bearskin was later(just), Toons your man for those units.

[EarlofWarwick]

One request, Good Sir Pom.

Could you also release a normal sized units version? I've tried to mod the current versions myself, but, despite much help from Hussarl, I have not been able to get the DB editor or the PFM to work on my PC.

Not sure I understand Earl?, I already do a vanilla version, what size units do you mean?

Wow thanks for awnsering i doesen't knowed that the white wigs don't have been taked to war except officer's. I've downloaded your units and they are great!! and original+realisticYour mod works with the Amercian Revolution Mod.

My bad, Pom. I should have said a Darth version with normal sized units. As you know, Darth ups the units sizes, and that's often harder on older pcs. So, evey now and then, someone on the Darth team is kind enough to release a submod of the last version with "normal" units sizes (so that large =150, or something like that).

[General William Howe]

Hi again Pom I Think the movie of the last mohican should inspirate you for the texturing:

I'm not planning to release another version, sorry, when I play Darth I always set the unit size to large which gives me 225 for a line regiment, or 150 if I set it to medium, I have the same problem as you, I love the BAI, my PC hates the unit sizes.
Try this link from Sir Digby, it helps with freeing memory use to improve your graphic performance, I use this as I keep so much rubbish on mine.

Hey Pom,

Absolutely understandable. At any rate, I fixed the problem when it occurred to me that I can use the regular Darth version and then set the unit size to medium. Duuuh! Thanks so much for getting back to me and for the help.

+1 rep for you and your great work, sir!

[T.C.]

These skins are getting very popular Pom, keep up the good work
