Shield wall animation

[Vyktrius]

In BI where exactly is the information for the formation of shield wall located? Would it be possible for me to extract just that hunk of information and surpland it in RTW and use the shield wall formation without having to install BI completly? As it is I have it installed but it is not "attached" to RTW so I can't play it but I can access all its files. Any help would be appreciated.

jsut to clear up.. can you not use the formation in original rome with BI installed while playing off the vanilla cd?

Th shield wall does not work on the vanilla version of RTW with BI installed. As for Vyktrius q, I assume you are correct in, well, assuming that the shield wall is an animation. If this is true, then I don't see why this couldnt be extracted from the animation files and added into RTW. My advice: Go to the dl section and find a member that has modded animations, then PM them. They will be able to give you the most enlightening answer.

I second what Publius said, may I suggest the SPQR TW guys, I remember that their mod had a shield wall implemented.

Nope, the shiled wall special formation in BI is hardcoded, just like the phalanx and wedge formations in RTW are hardcoded, along with all the other ones. Whilst it may be an animation, all the code relating to it being a special formation is in the .exe.
