Model issue with imperial legions

[Sylla]

Hello,

I have been playing this mod for months and i must say it's definitely the most impressiv graphical upgrade ever ... Having a hard time living my real life because of this ^^ ! Anyways, i noticed that imperial legions wearing the lorica hamata, like appollinaris, macedonica etc are missing their front hanging belts, the ones with metal bolts and such, depending on the designs. It's not missing from the textures, it's missing from the model itself and i have no idea how to fix this on my own ...

Is it a known issue ? i couldn't find a fix anywhere on the forum after searching a few times. I've reinstalled multiple times and updated to 2.5, i checked the 2.6 changelog and it doesn't seem to fix this particular issue so i haven't upgraded to it yet.

Thanks for any tips about this.

They are not 'missing', they were left out on purpose because that particular Legion didn't wear them, or wore something different. All of these Legions were researched one by one from museum pieces and archaeological evidence...things found in graves, etc. So they are about as accurate as anyone could get them (at least in a game with RTW's limitations). Also, the models in RS2 for the Legions and many other units are what Tone calls 'multi-models'....meaning, that the same model can render multiple different units from different textures. Believe me, it was\is so complicated that Tone had to code it. I just couldn't figure out how so many different looking textures could work with one model. A brilliant piece of work, really, because it allowed us to create many more units than otherwise would've been possible.

So there is nothing wrong with your install...and there is nothing wrong with the Legions either.

Thanks for answering, i was confused because both the units cards and unit info as well as the previews showed those legions with the belts and ingame models didn't. I must admit, i find them cooler with the belts than without as it makes them look more pre-imperial. Nonetheless i wasn't saying the legions didn't look realistic or anything, just that i thought i was missing something on the mesh itself.

Now i know why, it's ok then. Thanks again !
