[RS 1.6a] The Potato Guy's Massilia Sub-Mod

[Irishguy]

Is it OK now?

[The Potato Guy]

well, it might work, but it won't have all that i wanted to put up. You might wanna make a backup of the DMB before you try though. The reason i've hit a snag is because i edited some files and forgot to save them to the right place, and now can't find them, but ill hopefully sort it soon.

[Taelok]

Great job Potato Guy, and for what it's worth I think the skin is quite nice. Simple, but effective. Will keep an eye on this project of yours.

[The Potato Guy]

Thanks
EDIT: Uodate in first post, armoured hoplites added.

[Irishguy]

just downloading now

[Irishguy]

where's the data/models_unit/TONE/CityHop can't find it
i've put it in the tga's file (C:\Program Files\The Creative Assembly\Rome - Total War\data\tgas)
but it's empty...
and you say I have to delete the map.rwm? I found 4 of them

Woops, I mean to put /textures/ before TONE, thanks for pointing that out i'll redo the readme in just a sec. And the map.rwm's, you can just delete all of em really, a new one gets made when you start the game up.

[Irishguy]

OK thnx...
if my game crashes i'll come to you for help

[The Potato Guy]

Well, I hope it won't, but if it doesn't work ill get on it ASAP

[Irishguy]

The Massilian's load all fine but they're still on the Bosporan kingdome, I'm not so happy to change the descr_strat.file because last time i did that, my game crashed (forgot to make back-ups ) did I forget something or did you?

[The Potato Guy]

There still called the Bosporans? I'll look into it
EDIT: As far as i can tell, it's fine in the file, try copying the expanded_bi.txt in again.

[Irishguy]

no they're called the Massilians but they're not in Massilia, still at the Blacksea.

[The Potato Guy]

Sorry misunderstood you,
I checked the files on my RS and everything seems to be working fine, the only thing i can suggest right now is just to copy all the files in again and make sure you delete the map.rwm(s)

[Irishguy]

I did that but they haven't moved can you send/post your descr_strat file?
tnhx

[The Potato Guy]

Sure here it is, would you mind posting yours up aswell, to see if i uploaded the wrong one?

[Irishguy]

ok this is it.

[The Potato Guy]

Thats the normal RS descr_strat, replace it with the one i posted(you probably already know that though) and then try again at loading the massilians.

[Irishguy]

I did, i load's fine.
but, some advice:
1. try If u can find info on the City hoplites, and then maybe u can change the location on where you can train them.
2. larger unit roster
3. maybe a less big starting city, because you can train way better units than you neighbors

or you could wait for RS II ofcourse

[The Potato Guy]

Good to hear it's working.
As for your suggestions
1) i don't get what you mean by change where you can recruit them, they're Massilian Hoplites so they should only be trained in Massilia.
2) Yup, already plans for new units.
3) They may seem to powerful at the start of the campaign, but most likely the Romans will betray you quite early on (15 years in is what i've noticed) and you'll need those elite troops. But i will have another look at the roster and maybe tone it down at the start.
Thanks for the feedback.

[Irishguy]

I can't train them in Massilia...
the rebels can train them in the bosporan area I went there with my diplomat and I found a few massilian units, I bribed them
The romans didn't betray me...

I betrayed them!!! after like 70 turn or so.
