    Default Underhand Spear Mod for EB

    I originally only intended to keep this for personal use but seeming as I've gotten a few requests from people to have it I decided to upload it.

    Features:
    The Underhand Spear Mod for EB is as one may guess from the title. A mod which switches the animations of a few EB units to use the underhand spear animations for those of you who like me have gotten a bit tired of the mod's overhand spear autism. Most of the units are changed apart from the actual Hellenic Hoplites which I have chosen to keep on the over hand animations.

    Units which this mod affects:
    - All Thorakitai units including Carthaginian Late Thorakitai.
    - All Thureophoroi units.
    - Gaemile Liguriae. (Ligurian Infantry)
    - Carthaginian Liby-Phoenician Hoplites (Yes, the Carthaginian hoplites wielded the spear underhand)
    - Lusotannan Light Spearmen
    - Celto-Hellenic Hoplites
    - Celtic Naked Spearmen
    - Germanic Light Spearmen
    - Solduros
    - Libyan Thurephoroi


    Requirements:
    I created this mod while using "Jirisys' Phalanx Mod Reduplication" which can be found in "Jirisys' Europa Barbarorum Mega Mod Pack for EB 1.2".
    I'm not sure whether using this without the phalanx mod may cause problems but just to be safe I think you should probably download the phalanx mod as well.
    It can be found here: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...ack-for-EB-1-2

    Cool, I recommend searching for some animation mods. There's one that has spear men hold their spears higher (Not over hand) so when the troops from a shield wall the spears protrude from the V's of the interlocked shields. Or you could use the m2tw animation pack for Rome 1. (I lost the links to them and am on a tablet so it's almost impossible to do much other than quick reply)

    Cheers.

    I don't suppose there's a chance for this mod to include underhand animations for Hellenic hoplites?

    Yes it is. In fact I strongly suggest you use Jirisys' Phalanx Mod Reduplication which can be found in his mod pack with this.

    Yes. You're supposed to copy both the models_unit folder and the descr_model_battle file into your EB/Data directory and overwrite any existing files.

    I'm very sorry about this guys. A man by the name of James Davis thought it would be funny to remove the files from my drive for some reason. I must have set the file permissions wrongly so that anyone could mess with them. I'll reupload them as soon as I can.

    You also might want to take a look at the Theureophoroi, they are pointing their spears in the wrong direction.

    You mean the Thorakitai? Because the regular Thueros infantry are working fine. The Thorakitai however have an issue because their CAS file in the models_unit folder is misspelled, thus the model doesn't change ingame.
    It reads like this:
    ebcarthage_infantry_libyianlate_thorakitai_scortamavera_spw_aymar_high.cas
    But is actually suppose to be like this:
    ebcarthage_infantry_libyianlate_thorakitai_scortamavera_spw&aymar_high.cas
    Note the areas of red.

    Also I've been able to actually get this working for the Alexander version of the Megamod. The only unit I haven't done yet is the Chatti Spearmen (Germanic Light Spearmen) because I was a bit confused when I found out that the animation entries for the Chatti stayed the same. Cigol if you see this, would you like me to send you my Alexander Megamod compatible version of the descr_model_battle file? That way you can have one version for the vanilla Megamod pack and one for the Alexander Megamod pack available for download.

    A pity that this doesn't work with the Alexander version of the Megamod

    Yeah I meant Thorakitai, my bad

    Don't suppose you can make a patch of this fix, I don't really have good enough eyesight to read the text.
