[Graphics] Texture Problems

[dalapto]

How do I take screenshots in-game? I found a couple of graphical errors, one is Liang Han Volunteers have Black Squares for the 2D sprites, sorry I don't remember the rest...

We already know about those sprites. if you do have some to report, make sure they haven't already been reported (such as the silver captain models).

To take a screenshot, press the "Pr Sc" or "Print Screen" button on your keyboard. Screenshots will go to your Medieval II Total War/tgas folder.

Sorry, didn't see that post. I found a texture error with the Di Heavy Bowmen, the faces are glitched.

[Seether]

A mesh file was missing for the Di Bowmen.

Download the attachment and extract into you mods/Three_Kingdoms folder.

Thanks!

I don't know if they've all be found yet (more of the same "General")
this time Nanyang Militia
better safe than sorry...if already known ignore.

[Seether]

So this is a merc unit, and the army is led by a captain (not a named character), correct?

[Voice of Treason]

Yes
Mercenaries from Wan Cheng pool, Nanyang Commandery for Nanyang (Byzantium string), not led by a character. (more info pic)

I was discussing this with Gig and not sure why the captain in without a texture. We'll look into it further.

Liang han volunteers have bugged sprites when you zoom back.

(and so I don't make two posts, Ma Chao (when you play as Xiliang) doesn't start with wolf's teeth. it always appears a few turns later)

[Seether]

Thank you very much.

[Yuko]

Liang Arcuballistas have the same bugged sprite, also. Ma Chao doesnt start with the feat "The splendid Ma Chao" too, he gets it a while later.

Liang Arcuballistas also have the same bugged sprite, also.

They share the same soldier/sprite as the Han Volunteers. Gig is in the process of creating entirely new sprites for (as far as I know) every unit in our roster.

Ma Chao (when you play as Xiliang) doesn't start with wolf's fang. it always appears a few turns later)... Ma Chao doesnt start with the feat "The splendid Ma Chao" too, he gets it a while later

Both are designed that way. Very few FEATs are active at game start; nearly all need to be "earned."

[Yuko]

I see, makes sense then. since I only got the feats after Ma Chao started having some victories, Oh I also found an Oddity, Ma Yuan's wife (Ma clan's patriarch) is still alive and only like 20 years old at the start of the game.

Stupid mistake on my part; For Lady Yang's record I have "female" listed twice, which screws up her character entry. Easily fixed by deleting one of the "female" entries (not save-game compatible).

For the "heavy winter" script (or whatever you call it ) it says "Insert your own text here"

I know this isnt a texture problem but since it was already mentioned id like to add its not the only event that does this, dont remember exactly which ones though.

[Seether]

I need to bug Gig about that anyways. Thanks for the reminder (even though it isn't a Graphic or Texture problem)

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Through some bizarre twist of fate, Cao Ren was bribed by Liang and now he has ascended as a silver surfer.

Things like that are bound to happen. The only way to completely resolve this is if every faction is given an entry for every general battle_model. While we did such to a lot of battle_models for v1.0, it is a long, tedious process. And with only Gigantus and myself active, I wouldn't expect all of these entries to have every faction for a while (maybe in 2-3 patches).
