2 different iberian infantry

**lordgeordie** · January 07, 2006, 06:20 AM

hello

just wondering how i would go about creating iberian light infantry for spain and carthage as seperate units, i would like to customise the carthage units to reflect the carthage shield designs and have a slightly different look (i know they were more than likely the same units from new carthage in spain).

i can easily modify the tga but it changes both, i can't remeber how to create a seperate tga call up in the data files ( used to be able to as i created a heavy carthage unit to represent their heavy sword infantary.......but old age is setting in

)

can anyone help!!!

thanks

my suggestion to you would be to put this in the modding forum Lt - he will be able to get mre help there.

@lord - why not just save the tga twice with different names then use those names to call them up in the text files?

hello

was thinking of that, but is that a case of just adding a line for the carthage one???

thanks

hello

check out the new iberians i have created for carthage

- red plumes
- red shields, echoing the carthage base
- sharper belts and clothing
- new golden lion head chest piece

thought this would improve iberian - carthage battles and allow a more uniformed carthage

hope you like my fist edit

check out the old and new units in the zip and please don't laugh

(p.s if anyone wants them am i allowed to put them on here???)

take care

Wow, those look great. Ask Lt if he'll add them in 6.0

hello

i doubt he would want them as i not sure they are in keeping with the SPQR iberian look, i tried to keep them light and spanish based, with no armour and only a new lion head on their chest. I must admit i do like them now though, in conjunction with the carthage army they fit in nicely.

If anyone wants, can i put the skins on here in a zip??? (and of course LT can have these, if he wants for 6)

if anyone has any other ideas i will add too (if it is in-keeping with the unit) i mat update the spanish versions to echo the spanish army

:original:
thanks

hello

just finished the spanish versions of the iberian infantry (thought they looked a bit left out)

here they are fighting the new carthage verions

hello

now i have started skinning i have the bug!!!!

i would like to know, how do we create higher res textures?? is their a limit to what the rome engine can run? (there i guess is) i have just been editing the SPQR ones, can i make these any larger without having to remodel (3dmax editing won't work for me as i get a script error running the converter)

any help would be great (the iberian units i created suit the cavalry units too) but i would love to be able to design more impressive skins for spqr

thanks

Hey, can you post some pics of the Iberian Infantry?

Thanks,
MasterAdnin

hello

erm sorry i am not sure how you post the pictures directly onto this message i only know how to winzip them onto here (sorry i am having problems with the message system as i get the message error on page at the bottom, and my signiture won't work either, have i got something set wrong, which won't allow everything to be displayed?)

there are some picts of the iberian infantary above zipped, and versions of the carthage ones zipped too (2 seperate zipps above)
if you want mre just say, how are people adding pictures into their messages???

the infantary are also used on horseback (they look good)

will add more picts

if you want?

Excellent Work particularly like the bronze shields on the Iberian faction troops

**lordgeordie** · January 11, 2006, 11:14 AM

hello

I do feel iberian troops get ignored when it comes to modding due to their general poor level of armour and lack of elegance with their appearance (e.g the stylised appearance of the greeks and romans etc). I will be changing all of the iberians, my only problem occurs with the Bull warriors, they have the irritating circular ball between the horns, has anyone removed this in their models, as i would like this implimenting into SPQR, i will try to mod the current Bull warrior, but please let LT decide to change the helmet design (keep the horns, and be gone evil circular element)

thanks for your opinions on my first skins, i will keep trying.
