I'd like to know what files I should take into account when modifying walls... In addition, is there any tutorial regarding walls editing? Thanks in advance!

There are wall txt and settlement plans file - they can be tough because every stage of the wall uses different models.
And which are the models/textures I should take into account? I don't want to modify the settlement plan (for now), just the wall itself... I want to change its aspect. Thanks again

This is a tutorial for editing building skins, but i dont know how useful it would be for the walls.
you can ask wles, who reskned minas morgul and minas tirit walls
the files you need to altarate the walls are data/descr_walls.txt(which is almost hardcoded on many aspects) data/building_battle/descr_roman_walls.txt(or the specified type you need to alterate i.e.greek)
you must create new models of walls(every single part of 8 or 10 of them i cant remember the exact number)which are easy enough if you practise (search for Redfox's tut on Bpi collision files)and from them new items and after that it comes the the most nasty thing on this.if your walls have the same sizes as the vanilla ones then it's ok you will not find problem placing them (there is a programm from wyatchu i think that it is very easy to learn on placing them)
if your walls have different shapes from the vanilla ones and you manage to place them then call me to tell me the answer too.
all of the vanilla wall items are in data/packs/models_building/items
i suggest to find and read every single tut on this if you want to manage something starting by Redfoxes one
good luck

Yes, I've read some stuff from RedFox... I think he managed to change the shape of the wall... at least he could make medium size wooden walls, and they work ok. Anyway, I don't think I'll mess with such heavy stuff as changing the size of the walls... I just wanted to change some textures to begin and then some details to make them look more medieval... But it's just a project for the future. I was asking cause I'm VERY impatient and can't wait to finish with something to start thinking about new stuff
Thanks for your answers... any tutorial link provided will be well received
Are you sure it was wles? I thought it had been SethKrnell
