Using Specific Muskets?

[pappagoat]

I know each items in the equipment mech has its own name. So I wanted to know is there a way to edit the warscape DB so that you can assign a specific musket model to a unit, instead of just using euro_musket and getting a random meddle of all types in one unit? If so, does anyone know the names of each musket model in the equipment mesh? I thought it was euro_musket1 ,2 ,3 and so on... but I can't get that to work so I guess not!

I ask because I got tired of the ridiculous vanilla muskets and so have re-textured a lot of them, and want to be able to assign a specific musket type to a specific nation.

To assign specific equipment models (such as muskets) to units you will have :

1. to create or duplicate models in euro_equipment file
2. to add entries in warscape_equipment_items tables
3. to create "equipment theme" in warscape_equipment_themes tables
4. to modify "equipment theme" in unit_stats_land tables for your unit

Example : you want to create a Brown Bess musket and add it to euro_line_infantry_britain unit

You will have to create the model and add it to euro_equipment file :

• you will need Ultimate Unwrap 3D as variant_vertex_weights (equipments) to m3sd converter
• name the brown bess model (vertex group) rigid_equip_brown_bess (prefix / suffix)
• affect it to a new material, for example equip_new_diffuse
• convert back the ms3d to variant_weighted_mesh (equiment)
• correct group names that had been truncated (MilkShape cannot handle longest names)

Then, you will have to create texture using the UVmap from UU3D
Finally, you will have to mod db tables

• warscape_equipment_tems tables :
  
  • Create a new entry :
    
    • equipment_name : brown_bess
    • equipment_key : brown_bess
  
  
• warscape_equipment_theme tables :
  
  • Create a new entry (example) :
    
    • theme : british_infantry
    • primary_weapon : brown_bess
    • secondary weapon : brown_bess (it will use bayonet if allowed)
    • defensive : (none)
    • ambient : euro_infantry_equipment (if you want to see bags) or (none)
    • personal : (none) (only use for officers, musicians and flagbearers)
  
  
• unit_stats_land :
  
  • Modify euro_line_infantry_britain
    
    • In Equipment_Theme column (10th one), replace x_euro_musket_theme with british_infantry

It really isn't necessary to make a new model and you can duplicate the existing one and simply re-skin it.
