Silvan General strat model

**King Siegfried** · March 02, 2010, 12:00 AM

Couldn't stand seeing a High Elf representing the Silvan Elves on the strat map. I made a strat map model of a Silvan Elf general. Here I provide the .cas and texture for whomever wants to use it.

Here is a screenshot:

Haldir does have a unique strat map model. I've played with it.

There is no Haldir strat map model. The only Silvan Elf with a unique strat map model is Legolas. If I ever feel like going through the pains of making more strat map models, I'll make a Thranduil and a Haldir. And some generic captains models, too.

Haldir does, however, have a unique battle model.

Thanks for the confirmation K_S
it saved me much time!

I'm pretty sure there is a Haldir model.

**King Siegfried** · March 02, 2010, 12:08 PM

Okay. I looked for one. In TATW v1.4 there is no Haldir strat model included. There is, however, a battle model. These are two separate things and are not interchangeable. Maybe sub-mods have included a strat model for Haldir or converted the battle model to a strat one. But it is not in the vanilla TATW v1.4.

Regardless, if/when I convert more models, I shall post them here for everyone to use at their leisure.

Could you please post the path to the destination folder where your mod files must be copied?

silvan_general.cas - SEGA\Medieval II Total War\mods\Third_Age\data\models_strat
elfgeneral.tga.dds - SEGA\Medieval II Total War\mods\Third_Age\data\models_strat\textures
elfgeneral.tga - SEGA\Medieval II Total War\mods\Third_Age\data\models_strat\textures

You also have to change some code -

descr_character.txt - SEGA\Medieval II Total War\mods\Third_Age\data
from this

Code:

faction   mongols
dictionary  2
strat_model  elves_general
strat_model  elves_general    ; heir
strat_model  elves_general    ; leader
strat_model  legolas
battle_model Elvish_General
battle_equip gladius, chainmail shirt helmet and rectangular shield

to this

Code:

faction   mongols
dictionary  2
strat_model  silvan_general
strat_model  silvan_general    ; heir
strat_model  silvan_general    ; leader
strat_model  legolas
battle_model Elvish_General
battle_equip gladius, chainmail shirt helmet and rectangular shield

descr_model.strat - SEGA\Medieval II Total War\mods\Third_Age\data
replace this

Code:

type    elves_general
skeleton   strat_named_with_army
scale    0.7
indiv_range   40
texture    egypt, models_strat/textures/elves_general.tga
texture    mongols, models_strat/textures/elves_general2.tga
texture    slave, models_strat/textures/elves_general2.tga
model_flexi_m   models_strat/elves_general.CAS, max
shadow_model_flexi  models_strat/shadow_sword.CAS, max

with this

Code:

type    elves_general
skeleton   strat_named_with_army
scale    0.7
indiv_range   40
texture    egypt, models_strat/textures/elves_general.tga

Thank you, Ackrite26! You just saved everyone a trip to the Mod Workshop. This is indeed how to get it all set up.

**Aikanár** · March 03, 2010, 03:56 AM

Nice work King Siegfried

**bilwit** · March 03, 2010, 04:50 AM

Eeeewwww what's with the cape texture?

**Soul Firez** · March 03, 2010, 03:43 PM

That would be the same texture thats on the battle model

as he has converted a battle model into a strat model eg so the cape (and model) is the same as the battle model,(well unless he made some changes to the texture which i dont think he has .
