Ok its still messed up on the shoulders as you can see in the picture compared to the original. Also the Spear cas needs to be fixed also on its shoulders, they are both the same model with just a spear added so they both have the problem.

[lt1956]

Nice, I look forward to the download. Still waiting on those two units until Halie finishes them.

[Algaman]

Hello there, Lt
Guess i found a solution for the models. there were some errors, like bone weighting and bone asignement, plus, alpha chanel issues.
Well I hope to have helped, test it please!
regards.-

Cool. If they're fixed I can get back to my day job..

[lt1956]

No they arent fixed you can tell looking at the photos that the Shoulder armor is just like Halie had it and the Cheek Guard is missing from them.

Algaman, this is being more complicated than is needed. Basically I just need the shield taken from the one Phalanx unit and placed on the Egyptian Elite guard units. there are two units, one sword and one spear which use the same skin and are the "same" model except for one has a spear and the other has a sword.

I think you are grabbing his work which was bugged try this attachment here which is the FIRST file I gave him. The One you take the shield from the Phalanx and give it to the Elite models, I need the Skin dds file to have the correct shield texture replaced on it. You will see exactly what I mean when you see the originals. I think where his mistake was is he resized the texture to 512 instead of the original 256 and all I needed was the new shield placed in the old DDS file without serious modification. I think that is where all the issues arose from. I'm not a modeller so I don't know for sure, but this should be a rather easy fix to take one shield from one unit and place on another.

The files in this attachment are the originals unmoddified including the texture dds. I uploaded a picture showing the original unit and the areas that seem to get messed up. So you can see in your photos the problem with the units you made compared to the originals.

Also I think the texture should not be messed with except to add the shield, expanding the texture is what I think caused the problem, but I am not into modelling so I cannot say for certain. This should have been an easy "switch a shield and texture it job" and its becoming something much more.

[Halie Satanus]

Pretty much. I thought you wanted a shield similar to the original (white) shield but better quality. I made it round because the hexagon type was a flat plain, 3d shields always look better.. Simple miscommunication..

[lt1956]

Well it was worth a try, just too hard to add. Simple way is just try the simple transfer using the same dds file and see how that goes? Everything should be linked the old dds so there shouldn't be any problems?

[Algaman]

Okay, okay, my bad, but let me tell you it´s not a matter of skin size. It´s a model problem, you´ll see: The pharaoh`s, elite spearmen, have no cheekguards and a smaller sword. The pharaoh´s swordmen have a big sword and cheekguards and hidden -thanks to alpha channels thricks- beard/chin.
The shoulder pads have 3 bones asignement o just one if u like the static shoulderpads.
And the Milner model is based in one of mine, but for some reason the shield was connected with the wrong bone.
for that reason I reworked the unit and I guess It fit with your tastes this time. Use the model "guard_sword_three" if u like the no bearde swordman, but with cheekguards. I hope u like it, Lt.
Regards!!!!

[lt1956]

Thanks a bunch guys, the photos look good, so fingers crossed. I'll let your guys know what happens, but I think this time it will work. :-)

[lt1956]

Yep they worked fine. Thanks!

I also want to thank all of you for your hard work and willingness to help out. You guys are great and a credit to the TWC community. :-)

Bercor, the above units from Algaman need UI cards. Thanks!

Algaman you dont happen to have on your HDD Standard bearers for Rome that are not Winter models but standard summer models with Hi Rez models and textures?

[Algaman]

Hey, Lt!
I´m glad the models worked fine!
Yes, I have new standard bearers, not winter type, with new models and skins, they are:
Standard bearer
Aquillifer Bearer
Vexillia bearer
If u like I can upload it 4 u
Regards.-

[lt1956]

Yes please do. I would LOVE to see them! :-)

BTW I Prefer the Leopard Skin for the helmet for the Aquillifer with a silver scalemail.
