Eventpics / Whats are the relevant files ?

[AngryTitusPullo]

In bi/data/UI/roman I saw a file called evenpics. If I wanted to use these images to change the RTW images (which is use by RTR) for BI image like siege , sally etc, what file should I look into ? I know in vanilla RTW (and RTR) the eventpics and UI are inside the packs file.

Is there a way to change the image without unpacking the pack files etc by editing the relevant text files ? I also tried to change pictures and models for assasing and diplomats from BI into RTR, but in the game it still shows RTW/RTR assasins & diplomats in campaign map.

Anyone have any ideas ?

You canot edit event pics through text files as far as i know. For diplomat and assasin models, look in descr_model_strat.txt in the data folder.

I did manually change the assasin & diplomat units cards from BI and put it into UI forlder (in RTR) and also in the packs folder (just in case) . I didn't touch anything from the desc_model_strat though.. anyway what I tested the game the assasins and dips are stil the same ...

Have you repacked the paks so it includes the updated files. If you want to change the look of the model they use then edit descr_model_strat.

Nope. I just unpacked them without repacking them again...

That won't change anything then, the game reads the pak files.

So to change the pics without unpacking & packing I have to put it in another folder (RTR for example) and edit the relevant desc in descr_model_strat right ?

Still no way to change the event pics eh ?

No, ther eis no way of changing the pics without repacking the files. descr_model_strat only defines what model and texture a character or agent on the strat map uses.

Thanks. Anyway it seems like too much work for my small mod.... Guess have to abandon the project then..
