Kaziel's Romans * VERSION 4.5 * (UPDATED: 17/09/2014) * Currently BUGGED *

[Kaziel]

Love those Centurions, you should do squad leaders for all factions.

Thank you for the compliment . Yes, I'm planning to do other cultures when I have time.

I love your mod, it's very beautiful. There's a conflict with close combat mod and realistic mod but your mod is the greatest.

Thank you for the kind words. Merci

Just checked those generals out in game. Definitely awesome work. I was thinking though, is there any way to change the helmet options for the roman generals? I noticed how at like mid to late game the Roman generals look like cheaper units than your basic legionaires, often wearing much more basic armor/helmet. I was hoping to see them in armor more like this for example:

All that gear is in the vanilla game, so it should be doable?

Yep since the Generals I redid are quite popular I plan on working on them further. Right now I'm working on new shield textures specifically for them and when I'm done I will start on the helmets. The helmet in the screenshot I recognise as one of the standard helmets for the Roman Generals (the white one), only in the screenshot there are two side plumes and the colour is leather brown. I actually had that helmet model in mind as a base for multiple revamped helmets that should last through the reforms. I will also be making a few minor updates to the main mod as well.

I know which one you mean, but the helmet in the picture looks more like this one (taken from LAVRENTIVS centurion reskins):

It's good to hear you're already planning that stuff. I'm really excited to see what else you come up with.

Any install instructions please?

[Igo]

I cant seem to download this. It goes to page with a field and mountain but no download tabs.

After you download the zip file, unzip it to a folder of your choosing. Go into the Pack File folder, copy the Pack file and paste it in the data folder of your game. Then download a program called MOD Manager from this website. Rest should be self-explanatory.

That's weird. I think what your describing is the background wallpaper yea? Maybe you need to wait a little longer for the stuff to load up. I don't know really, if you're still having issues, I'm willing to take suggestions on the "Best" upload site. All these things concerning uploading to separate sites I haven't done in over a decade lol

[Igo]

Ive tried two different browsers and still only get the page I described. About upload sites I havent a clue.

It's a shame, back in the day we could upload straight to this site (maybe I missed something and we still can?). Ok then, I'll try to find a different site to upload.

Edit: Actually I'm in the process of updating the packs with new Auxiliary, Standard Bearer and General Shields. So if you could wait for another 24 hours or so. Sorry for the inconvenience.

[Igo]

Your right mate and thanks for all the hard work.

[Rhianon]

Amazing mod but..., why are the textures applied to the centurions too? I assumed that they were only for generals.

[gary]

hi mate do you know what might cause this? it also shows up on campaign

[Maximus183]

I was having this too, which kind of confused me considering all the different armors the roman generals can have were working. It's like the mod added this invisible torso or something.

[gary]

this is in battle

[Kaziel]

The screenshots aren't working.

[Kaziel]

I am too having the same problems as gary and Maximus123? if you open your browser in Chrome you can then view the pics as it is a problem with Explorer that does not allow the pics to open.

I am always on Chrome I'm really curious what the issue is, any other way you can show me the screens?

[Maximus183]

I'm on my way home right now. I'll see what I can do when I get there.

EDIT:

Here you go:

Basically, some generals show up like that both in battle and on the campaign map.

[Kaziel]

Try refresh as I can open in Chrome no problems, basically the unit is transparent in the middle half of the unit, it looks like incorrect "torso" has been added to the unit?

I've restarted chrome, nothing, restarted my computer even, still nothing lol. I'm trying to hunt down the issue. Did you guys only find this after patching to Patch 3 live?

Ok thanks, I will look into this asap. His helmet should make it easier for me to find the problem. I bet you it's a typo on my part, so many generals to edit lol

If it makes any difference, in my instance of this happening the general showed up with the white general helmet (center pics in your OP) so I suppose there's more than one.

[Kaziel]

with 30 generals and there associated files that 60 to go through! good luck on finding the error and look forward to the update. If you can just post the files for the officers when corrected that would be appreciated.

Hehe tell me bout it, that's what I had to do when I first started modding the generals specifically lol

Ok i think I can help you out here! I think the problems with the following files:

rom_general_03
rom_general_03_battle
rom_general_04
rom_general_04_battle

the "cuirass" entry is incorrect as you have them set to "curiass" so set to my version of "cuirass" for these 4 files in the "clothing" entry and see if that works?

Lmao! Here's a story. When I first started modding the generals I came across the same issue as you guys, so I kept checking the text for over an hour. After a lot of frustration, I squinted my eyes and there I saw the Curiass. I called myself a dumb ass and laughed for a bit then fixed it. I think what happened was, I did the typo for the first general, and copy-pasted the mistake to everyone. Seems some of the curiasses remained lol. What's funny as well is that there are so many spelling mistakes made by CA in the files like Chieftan instead of Chieftain (which did screw with me for a bit as well lol).

Anyways, thanks for taking the time to troubleshoot the issues, I will fix the entries before releasing version two. I'm still working on the new shields and helmets. Reason why it's taking ages is that, even when I think I'm done, I always go back to the stuff I've done and tweak a little more. Sorry it's taking a while to get done.
