Editing Generals Battle Model help

**Stitch074** · September 07, 2010, 07:47 PM

Well once again I come to the Mod Workshop looking for help. Modding is harder than it sounds!

.

Anyway, I am using the Third age kingdoms hosted mod and In the mod there are Heroes. The heroes are basically unique generals. So, I want to take the battle model of a hero from one faction and add it to another. I was looking in some of the tuturiols on how to add units to existing faction. They seem to have some usefull information about editing the battle_models file, but Generals seem to be different then units. I have tried messing around with it and the game crashes a bunch, I'm not to sure what I'm doing

.

Okay, here is the model I want to change. Right now it has the ownership of egypt, and I want to add the ownership to the mongols.

Sorry, but I'm not sure if heroes are a common things in mods, so here is another hero for reference.

Are these unique generals or regular generals for the factiontype?

Anyways we have to add the battle model in the descr_character.txt.

There unique Generals. Also the unique generals are starting generals.

Give the faction it's ownership in the BMDB file and go in the descr_strat.txt add the model to new character belonging to that faction like this for eg.

Code:

character	Robin of Locksley, named character, male, age 26, x 145, y 214,  battle_model super_hero

When u add ownership to the faction in BMDB file make sure the textures and mesh files exists in the right folder otherwise CTD.
