missing weapon

[Filip_bre]

in BI, on the unit Golden Band, he is suposed to have two weapons ( one each hand) on is missing, where can i fix this bug ?

And by the way, can i make this unit recruitable to other factions that actually cant ? please tell me how

I took a look at the model, and the second sword is named as a secondary weapon, but if you enable this in the export_descar_unit you get a ctd, so i named it shield, thats the best you can have i'm affraid.

as for the recriutement part, you'll need to edit three files, the export_descar_unit(EDU), export_descar_building(EDB) and the export_model_battle(EMB),

EDU,
ownership alemanni, lombardi, burgundii < add new faction here.

EDB.
recruit "golden band" 0 requires factions { burgundii, lombardi, alemanni, } <add faction here.

EMB.
texture alemanni, bi/data/models_unit/textures/BI_unit_golden_band_alemanni.tga
You'll have to add faction line,you can copy one that's there and change the ownership. your only problem then is that your new unit will have the same skin as the alemanni,
you'll need to make three copies of the model and name them 2,3,4,and put them in the models unit folder, which is in bi/data/models_unit.


i may have forgotten something so if it dosn't work let me know here.
you can always give rep points to say thanks, click on the little eagle < over there, although i would prefer chocolates

Actually, their second weapon is around their belt (small axe).
It's just that there is no proper skeleton for two weapon fighting, so it's not implemented.

Even Arcani from original game don't use their second weapon. It's just there for show.

i will try and let you know. Many thanks. And again, about the second weapon for the golden band, i just have to go in exp_descr_unit and in the second weapon section replace CTD by SHIELD ? on the pic i see a sword, so i can write sword also, or it is not that easy../!?

no it's not i'm afraid, when i opened the model the secondary weapon was a sword, but if you changed the line in the EDU to allow secondary weapon you will get a Crash To Desktop, so i renamed it shield, to trick the game into allowing it, as it is you don't need to change the edu at all, just replace the models, in the EMB.

As player one said they don't actually use the secondary weapon as there's no animation for it, :wink:
