Teutonic Crusades 1.0 for SS6.3 - Enhanced models and textures for Lithuania and Teutonic Order factions (former Enhanced Lithuania)

[Lemming69]

I love the new skins would prefer the spear militia to have the new spearheads instead of the generic giant arrowhead type thing, and perhaps an addition of the famous horns and wings etc on the helmets of the ritterbruder, or if not, the bodyguard, apart from that, beautiful who knows, perhaps you could extend westward with your skinning.... your spear militia skins could be adapted to some of the western factions i think

I think it's more the whole scale of the spear that makes it look bad. (Edit: Oops, I thought you meant the Sergeants' spears.) I've noted it to be a trend with a lot of the new weapon models that they're slightly too big. The halberds of the Foot Halbbrüders look off too. The largeness of the weapons on Madtao's new models (which are fantastic BTW, don't know who made the weapons) remind me of some Warhammer figurines. Their features tend to look a bit unrealistic, generally being short and stubby.

I'd like to see some before-after pics of the new textures too. That's some nice work, Shoryn. I wasn't even aware the Lithuanians' skins didn't change with armour upgrades as I hadn't played with them. I'd be sure to correct that if this submod ever makes it into the RR/RC compilation.

[Shoryn]

You know, the model of the spear militia is the vanilla one, so is the spearhead
I don't think Madtao's weapons are unrealistic compared to vanilla ones, but it may just be my tastes

And I can't alter models of units such as Spear Militia as they are used by many factions and using a unique model for the TO means creating a new unit, but the EDU is full. Plus I don't have the necessary tools (Milkshape can't coordinate textures).

If you want to see "before" pics you can just start a custom battle with teutonic units of different upgrades as I don't know when I'm going to do pics of that as it require me to revert back to SS6 teutonic units...
"After" pics are in the op.

yeh this is what i mean i dislike the vanilla ones- just wondered why it was kept.... all the new spears look great in my opinion

[Olaf The Great]

Were the horned Teutonic helmets historically inaccurate or something?

IMPORTANT INFO : If you downloaded the 1.0 before midnight gmt+1 please download the file attached to this post and extract it your SS6.3/data folder I forgot to set a little thing (link updated in the op too).

Well actually they're not purely vanilla ones I think but they are old and in SS since a long time.
The problem with them is that they are used by plenty factions and it's a pain to create textures for so much factions...

Holy moley thats some good work! I love mods that add some stuff to the graphics department of the mod, its the only area lacking, and all this stuff looks incredible! Loving the new Teutonic units aswell, great work

Thank you mate

Hehe to be honest I don't know I was aware there would be some complaints about the loss of these horns, I think their helmets looked nice with it, but well, Madtao's models doesn't have horns ; and as he's lithuanian I think it's indeed a matter of historic accuracy.
An interesting thread about this

[mudfly]

Now im actually looking forward to the Teutonic Order arrival in my Lithuania game. Might miss the Ritterbrüdder helmets tho

Sorry for late reply shoryn,the work you have done looks great,its a pity i can only play the early era campain as when i went to switch to the late era,the game froze on me and the menu stopped working so i had to reinstall the entire game again..gah!!! lol,the cumans as i mentioned have a few problems with armour upgrades as i remember? (have not played them in awhile) but yes i love them but it seems their roster is rather limited? i was trying to figure out a way i could incorperate many of the mongol units into their roster because as i mentioned before i cannot play late era,i checked in the export_descr_unit but cannot find many mongol units that i could try to add to the cuman roster (and im assuming just add cuman to the unit ownership at the bottom?)..would love to know which files to change to make them called tartars

Ownership of a unit doesn't do everything you must also edit the export_descr_buildings files to add cuman in the lines of units you want to add in the "factions{}" part.
The tartar thing you want to edit is in the expanded.txt in the text folder.

Really like the Lithuanian units.

Glad you like it mate all credits must go to our friend Madtao for them !

I have little problem with the horse skins for the Dievas guard and other units using the same skins. They are black as the night.

Strange as Dievas Guards are from v0.2. By "the same skins" you mean other russian units like boyars etc ? Could you provide me a screenshot of this because I really don't understand why you have this problem, everything is working fine with me. I checked the files in the zip and they are ok

Madtao is Latvian, as I remember.

Thanks for the clarification

[knight_12]

This is a custom battle. As you can see the horses are black as the night sky and i also noticed that the Jerusalim's knights and bodyguards are with messed up skins for the horses too.

[Asparagus]

I thought the ritterbruders historically had the pointy helmets?

I think you are missing the texture I created for these horses, because what we can only see on your screenshot is the normal/light map. Download the attachment and extract it in your data\unit_models\mounts\heavy_horse_marka\textures folder.

It's weird because this texture is in the mod's 7z file. Didn't you install another submod on the top of TC ?

I don't know about the jerusalemite bug. TC doesn't alter other factions at all so I can't see from where this one comes.

[knight_12]

You are right about the missing texture. Thanks for the help.

well i have a problem with the Rittenbruder for HRE, i only tested in custom battle, but the horses of the rittenbruders , they are made of a blue light ocapcity. otherwise i didnt find any others bugs, and i gotta say these skins are amazing. they change archers skins on all factions is this intended? only the porfessional archers. i dont have any other mods, only ss3 with fixes, i install TO crusades after the fixes, as well.

I actualy prefer these skins then the horned ones.

About HRE Ritterbruders : I just saw that, forgot to put hre in the list of textures for their mounts. I updated the zip in the op, but just download the attachment of this post and extract it in your data/unit_models folder.

About Archers : Holy crap. I didn't notice this unit (called Prussian Archers) was the one used by every faction for pro archers I should rollback them to the previous version. Thanks for the info !
