character scroll

[the crunkness]

i did a little change in the game as to what faction gets what kind of units i gave teh greeks the scorpions and the reapeating ballistas(because it was actually greek inventions) the unit transfered fine but the problem is that the picture/tap in teh unit recruitment scroll for teh scorpion and the repeating ballistas arent what they re suppose to be they re just the picture of the peasants in a weird color is there any way i can change that?

Moved to the mod workshop. All questions should be posted there.

Crunkness, changing the unit card is a much more complicated process than simply editing the unit and building files, someting which I commend you for being able to do, its a pretty basic operation but its the start point for any would be modder so congrats... as for changing the unit card you would first need to edit all of the files and create new files that pertain to your faction, its actually something I have NO IDEA how to do but there are tutorials out there and if your willing to take the time to learn you can do some pretty amazing things... May I suggest doing a search for skinning tutorials, hopefully that will point you in the right direction, or just go ahead and ask for someone to point you in the right direction. Best wishes

No, you'd only need to move the units from one faction to another so it's really easy to give them the unit card. The peasant card is a placeholder. To have the correct image, you would need to unpack the files, and then find the scorpion_unit_info.tga, probably in a roman directory, and go in data/ui/unit_info/greeks and paste it. Then do the same with #scorpion.tga and paste it in data/ui/units/greeks

Just use vercingetorix tool to unpack those files. I hope my explanations are good enough, I work on BI where files aren't packed.

Giving new unit cards to one unit is a bit more difficult, you would need skinning skills.
