Hic Sunt Dracones Enhancement Mod

[JoeyJubb]

1. Erm..... maybe I`m having a bad moment, but isn`t that Pyrrhus also? Of course that is the english spelling, but in wikipedia and other places you`ll find it as Pyrrhus. Oh, and I hope that I didn`t turned your whole thread into a discussion of the spelling of his name.

2. That`s ok. No need for your mod to be bigger then the mod you want to change.

1. It's probably just me, I never pronounce or spell any of those names properly, lol. You're looks more "right" lol. Oh, and I dont' mind what people talk about here, so long as it's loosely related to Hic Sunt Dracones!

2. I'm going to ask around for other ways to implement the change before I give up

eeh... are you talking about the shieldwall formation button (and that other one...)?
theyre easy to implement... just copy the "stratpage_01.tga" file and put it in a folder called interface in the respective countries UI part... i only put it in the barbarian and egypt ones... works for me...

oh and copy it from the BI data folder of course... under UI for the respective nations...
no recompiling needed...
not complicated, and it can be done by any one who can copy and paste...

Sweet, thanks Oddball_E8, I was hoping I'd be completely wrong! Lol

Phaylanx: In your Data\Sounds folder change the events.idx and events.dat filename to oldevents.idx and oldevents.dat.
Please check in this thread for more solutions to common problems

You would need to update the DMB,change the cas files in RTR/models unit, and maybe a few other things. Check this tutorial Here

[Phaylanx]

[The Walrus]

Slang

DMB=descr_model_battle
EDU=export_descr_unit

Well, you can download E.T. tool collection set. DOn't know if it would have anything useful for this.

[Phaylanx]

E.T? the movie? lol

[Phaylanx]

no seriously whats E.T? and if i do put the spartans in RTRPE will they with a overhand phalanx? because i dont want that

No. E.T. is the name of the person who made it. Basically, you need to get the vanilla cas files for the vanilla units you want, have them overwrite the RTR ones. If all it changes is the pic, you don't need to alter the sprites info path. So go into wherever you have vanilla, go to models_unit, and find the cas files that say spartan hoplite. Copy those. Go to wherever you installed RTRPE and go to RTR. Right click on the models_unit and click paste. If it tells you do you want to overwrite press yes to all. MAKE backups of the RTR spartans. No they won't be overhand.

Something wrong with the sound files. Too complicated to fix it(I don't know how)

The two files you are looking for are:

export_descr_sounds_units_voice
export_descr_sounds_soldier_voice

The former takes care of the noises made by grunting, cheering etc
The latter takes care of the voices you hear when you give commands.

In each file, find the text "greek hoplite spartan", then add your new units name after it, seperated with a comma. So it should look something like this:

end
unit greek hoplite spartan, [YOUR UNIT HERE]
event
folder........

The correct name to add is the name as it is in the EDU (export_descr_unit.txt file).

Please, Phaylanx; you're questions, though genuine, aren't anything to do with Hic Sunt Dracones anymore. I don't mind helping you but it would bode better for you if you created a new thread for questions like these. People don't mind small question threads like those and it'll get your question answered more quickly and by a larger audience
