Changing unit cards

[JollySam]

Hello everyone,

I know how to add/take away units from factions and buildings, but does ayone know how to change their 'cards' at the bottom of the screen?

For example, when I train a unit of amazon chariots or judean warriors (not normally recruitable), their cards on the campaign and unit screens shows picture of a peasant, rather than the correct ones. How can I change the unit card to show the correct picture?

Thanks alot,
JollySam

You need to unpack the UI cards (they are in one of the ui_x.pak files inside data/packs) using pak extractor (donwloads/rtw/tools section), and then copy the units' UI cards from ui/unit_info/slave and ui/units/slave to ui/unit_info/factionname and ui/units/factionname respectively, where factionname is the faction that can now recruit them. Then either re-pack (again using the same tool) or delete/rename the pack files and move the extracted ui folder inside your main rtw directory.

OK, I see. I'll try that out.

Actually, if you are giving the units to new factions then you don't need to repack or worry about deleting anything, just add the cards to the appropriate folders (which you may have to create) and you should be fine.

OK, thanks Squid, that sounds much simpler. Where abouts could I find the relevant folders?

As I said you'll need to create them. The packed version of the game doesn't contain the relevant folder. So copy the unit cards from the packs/ui/... folder as Aradan said into the relevant data/ui/... folders that you will have to create.

OK, thanks Squid, it works. I knew to create a new folder, I just didn't know where to create it.
