[derdavid]

Who cares about Third age?
This is just pure awesomeness! If you really gonna make this for all factions... that would be amazing!

[Tyraels]

so is it working on SOC campaign too :o ?

[The Holy Pilgrim]

As far as I know, yes

[Master Necromancer]

Pure genius I must say.

Where did you find the building textures?

[Kolwen]

Sure Kahvipannu, I will try it ingame. Don't doubt that! Congratulations mate for your great work.
One question, what about the different development level of walls. Are you planning texturizing them too?

[Cochus1]

wow very good work. I hope elven settlements will be nice (i always play HE and i always hate their "human" cities xD)

Yes, and no There is insane ammount of stuff to convert, all levels of settlements/castles, buildingtextures, summer/winter textures, and for all factions.. Well see

so is it working on SOC campaign too :o ?

I'm soryy, but I'm not aware what SOC stands for.. I believe it's savegame compatible (haven't tested), and these textures will be on campaign too, not just custombattles.

Edit: Storm of Chaos, ofcourse Yes it is, like HP sayed, but I need confirmation from someone.

Where did you find the building textures?

I usually look at pictures, and grab parts from them, and usually combine them, and edit, same thing what I do with UI's. Most of Orc textures have been taken from various WH-art and edited.

Littlebit more polished HE walls:

A dream T_T , a Call of warhammer mod , with buildings which looks like in Warhammer world T_T ...and hell...you're working so fast o_o ? Just for curiosity ..how many times did you spend just for thoses 3 things u shew us (2 orcs things and the HE wall) ?

[Kolwen]

Nice elven wall, I can see where did you take from. May this image help you?

Elven Wall

[TWmadman]

[Kahvipannu]

Elven Wall

Yes, Indedd and some other pic there too (presummably you took it from WH:Onlines homepage ). And I used parts of this pic too for HE interface. Too bad it doesn't go ingame the way it looks in the pic, there's just too much randomnes how game places textures in-game..So I have been have to "split it into pieces"..

once High Elves textures are ready may i use them for my mod?

Always friend

Can't say. It's pretty much trial and error. Jumping from photoshop to ingame to look what part I modified, and back..

[Saladin]

very impressive work kahvipannu! truly a great addition to the COW community!

[Kolwen]

What programm are you using to open the .texture files? I could help you if you want.

[TWmadman]

once you are satisfied with your high elves stuff, send me the all package! thx mate

[Kahvipannu]

Thanks Saladin

What programm are you using to open the .texture files? I could help you if you want.

You need to convert them to .DDS files, conventer can be found in "Skins, Models, and Animations"thread, I believe it's stickied. Then you need DDS-plug-in for Photoshop (Google), so you can edit them. After editing convert back to .TEXTURE, and try ingame. Convert back for editing if necessary, etc.. When it's ready, do normal-mapp of the .DDS file http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=345554, add shadows to original, and voila, done. Basically no need for 3D-programs, just Photoshop with right tools and add-ons.

PM me if you need more details

once you are satisfied with your high elves stuff, send me the all package! thx mate

Got it.

[Saladin]

probably some version of the texture to dds program. that's what i use.
