Generals/Officers/Standard Bearers Reskins

**Delicate Strawberry** · June 01, 2015, 07:48 AM

Hi everyone,

This is my first attempt at modding a total war game, so I'm going to try something simple (I hope) and reskin the generals, officers and standard bearers for various factions.

I'm not guaranteeing this mod will actually be released however, as I said it is my first attempt. I'm currently looking through the tutorials and tools to work out how to do all of this. Any advise on allocating new skins to the units mentioned would be greatly appreciated.

Here's the first tests I've done. I just need to work out how to get them in game.

So far I've managed to make two Pictish officer skins, but haven't managed to do anything with them yet. So hopefully I'll get that working soon.

Oh a mod for me to use!

Thanks for the support as always.

Hopefully I'll work it out soon, I've already got some stuff done, just not sure how to get them in game etc. The tutorials are helpful, but the tools are a bit funny with my old PC. At least I got it working.

I'll get it eventually. At least just now I'm trying out the different combinations. If I work it all out I should be able to at least some variety.

Added some more screenshots, that's the only progress I've made.

Well, I've not done too badly for one day. Tomorrow I'll hopefully get them in game. PFM works properly now at least, it was having some weird installation issues... I hope unit cards etc aren't too hard for the generals...

Good job I have a few weeks off.
