Additional Banner Carriers

**algorath** · April 21, 2010, 10:03 AM

I´d like to add more banner carriers, like in kingdom of heaven for example

So that there are an additional ~10 soldiers carrying flags (120 spearmen, 10-15 carriers). How does one do that?

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:

And another thing, i noticed that templar units when playing KOJ carry the papal banner, where do i one change that?

Well you can give them up to 3 banner carriers but they will all be on the left side of the unit.

Code:

type             Mailed Knights
dictionary       Mailed_Knights      ; Mailed Knights, f
category         cavalry   ; superior mounted melee, early lance/sword
class            heavy
voice_type       Heavy
banner faction   main_cavalry
banner holy      crusade_cavalry
soldier          Mailed_Knights, 24, 0, 1
officer          Feudal_Knights
officer          northern_captain_early_flag
mount            early heavy horse
mount_effect     elephant -4, camel -4 
attributes       sea_faring, hide_forest, hardy, can_withdraw, can_formed_charge, knight, free_upkeep_unit
formation        1.5, 4.4, 2, 6, 2, square, wedge
stat_health      1, 3
stat_pri         4, 12, no, 0, 0, melee, melee_blade, piercing, spear, 75, 1
stat_pri_attr    no
stat_sec         8, 5, no, 0, 0, melee, melee_blade, piercing, sword, 30, 1
stat_sec_attr    no
stat_pri_armour  4, 4, 5, metal ; 
stat_sec_armour  0, 0, flesh
stat_heat        5
stat_ground      -1, -2, -3, -1 
stat_mental      14, low, trained
stat_charge_dist 45
stat_fire_delay  0
stat_food        60, 300

armour_ug_levels 7, 11, 15, 23
armour_ug_models Mailed_Knights, Mailed_Knights_ug1, Mailed_Knights_ug1, Mailed_Knights_ug1
ownership        scotland, france, hre, spain, aragon, portugal, milan, venice, papal_states, slave

era 1            scotland, france, hre, spain, aragon, portugal, milan, venice, papal_states 
recruit_priority_offset    30

Delete the officer Feudal_Knights line and then add another two banner carrier lines:

Code:

...
...
banner holy      crusade_cavalry
soldier          Mailed_Knights, 24, 0, 1
officer          northern_captain_early_flag
officer          northern_captain_early_flag
officer          northern_captain_early_flag
mount            early heavy horse
....
...

An additional banner is added on top of the unit for every exp chevron too.

alright thanks, too bad...

Any idea why some KOJ units carry the papal banner?
for example the Dismounted Knights Templar

Code:

type             Dismounted Knights Templar
dictionary       Dismounted_Knights_Templar      ; Dismounted Knights Templar, o
category         infantry
class            heavy
voice_type       Heavy
banner faction   main_templar
banner unit      templars
soldier          Dismounted_Knights_Templar, 48, 0, 1.2
officer          Dismounted_Knights_Templar_ug1
officer          northern_captain_early_flag
officer          northern_captain_early_flag

I don't know. The carrier is assigned the papal states attach texture in unit_models/battle_models.modeldb. But I'm not sure if its intentional, by mistake, or if they even have a general'sl attachment texture.

**algorath** · April 21, 2010, 12:05 PM

Can´t be intentional, they definately should have templar banners...
Anywho, changing that is too complicated pour moi, ill bug pb with that

According to the EDU, it's only possible to have up to 3 officers in a company. Thus no more than 3 flag carriers. Unless of course you put flag carriers as standard units.

However swaping all the normal officers for flagcarriers would be possible. Though they would still all end up on the right side of the formation looking a bit silly. Not possibly to change to my knowledge, I believe it's hardcoded.

I'm looking for this too. I can't seem to open the unit folders correctly. It just comes up as computer text and there isnt anything I can do to edit it.

What exactly are you trying to open? And what are you trying to achieve?

Don`t know if it helps but there's an old thread: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...highlight=mini

Is there a way to make this work with SS? Anyone tried yet? Could be awesome...
