[Release]KCC (Kostic Chronology Costumes)

[paleologos]

Good job my friend.

[Marble Emperor]

Did you manage to resolve your texture issue on the archers?

[kostic]

With my mod, there are no more texture problems on archers. There is sometimes a small bug concerning the crossbowmen, but of little importance.

[kostic]

Here is my mod for SSHIP 0.9.6. KCC 0.9.4(v1)
It misses the screenshots and the images of the units have not yet been made, but it works very well. I will make a description on the first page as soon as I have a little time.

[crosscheck86]

Can't start a campaign... installed like explained. What did I miss?

Having the same issue as above

19:05:34.264 [data.invalid] [error] Insufficient video memory to load requested texture set.

[Lifthrasir]

From this thread:

Loading game CTD, with Insufficient video memory error message
Q: The game starts to load, then CTD and error log says there is 'Insufficient video memory'.

A: This is normally caused when you tell M2TW to look for an image file that doesn't exist. The this is normally due to an error in the descr_model_strat.txt. Ensure that all the image paths (eg models_strat/textures/southern_ambasador_papacy.tga) lead to an image file (.tga) and the spelling is correct.

If both are correct ensure that in every entry the .cas file has its .tga file assigned to one faction (without opening the cas file it's impossible to tell which tga file it needs). If this tga file is not listed in the 'descr_model_strat.txt' entry the mod will crash. For example any entry using the 'late_general_northern.CAS' has to have one faction assigned the 'late_general_england_strat.tga' or the mod will crash.

Below is an example. The 'mesoamerican_king.cas' requires the 'mesoamerican_king_mayans.tga'. The following will produce an 'Insufficient video memory' error because the 'mesoamerican_king_mayans.tga' has not been assigned to the 'mesoamerican_king.cas'.

type                mesoamerican_king
  skeleton            strat_named_with_army
  scale                0.7
  indiv_range            40
  texture                aztecs, models_strat/textures/mesoamerican_king_aztecs.tga
  texture                mayans, models_strat/textures/mesoamerican_king_aztecs.tga
  texture                tlaxcalans, models_strat/textures/mesoamerican_king_tlaxcalans.tga
  texture                tarascans, models_strat/textures/mesoamerican_king_tarascans.tga
  texture                slave, models_strat/textures/mesoamerican_king_aztecs.tga
  model_flexi_m            models_strat/mesoamerican_king.CAS, max
  shadow_model_flexi        models_strat/shadow_sword.CAS, max

But this one will work because the 'mesoamerican_king_mayans.tga' has been assigned to the 'mesoamerican_king.cas'.

type                mesoamerican_king
  skeleton            strat_named_with_army
  scale                0.7
  indiv_range            40
  texture                aztecs, models_strat/textures/mesoamerican_king_aztecs.tga
  texture                mayans, models_strat/textures/mesoamerican_king_mayans.tga
  texture                tlaxcalans, models_strat/textures/mesoamerican_king_tlaxcalans.tga
  texture                tarascans, models_strat/textures/mesoamerican_king_tarascans.tga
  texture                slave, models_strat/textures/mesoamerican_king_aztecs.tga
  model_flexi_m            models_strat/mesoamerican_king.CAS, max
  shadow_model_flexi        models_strat/shadow_sword.CAS, max

Hope it will help. Haven't checked myself yet.

Sorry! I did not have time to explain the installation of this mod ... and do not install it like my previous !
For this one, you must not delete the textures folder, you just have to copy / overwrite the files contained in the KCC 0.9.4 folder (v1) in the game's root directory (default: Medieval II Total War / .. .)

[j.a.luna]

Awesome work kostic! It is a great idea add the Rusichi models for east factions!! Now they are more historical and inmersive in the game!
Some questions about them, you add all the Rusichi models for all east factions and their strat map models and agents?( Russians,Lithuanians,Polish, Cumans,Georgians,Mongols...)
And is possible also that you make new strat map models for campaig map for differents factions of muslims?, Also for the muslims portraits, maybe in a future...
I can help add new historical descriptions for the units, only tell me if sship team need support for save work.

[kostic]

I actually added a lot of Rusichi strats models that also change spies, diplomats and merchants of several Muslim factions. Of course, this is not exhaustive. There is still a lot of work to be done in many areas. Why not try to redo the portraits of Muslim factions yourself ? Just find the files and find images to replace them (you naturally need graphics software capable of reading and modifying .tga files). If you are interested, I can explain the steps to you. It is a very long and tedious work which is not at all in my priorities for the moment.

Mmm for me is more difficult doing this kostic, because i dont have the correct graphic software and i dont have any experience...but if is possible i can help you in make historical description of units if you prefer...

Another issue is about your new units models( your current version is so great friend) , some units i think that will have to modify in stats due to they have differents weapons, for example the old model of swabien swordmen had two handed sword and had 8 points of attacks and also a old description, and now with your models they have normal swords and shields but same stats... Similar to the unit of canons of sacred sepulchre.

I love your crusades units as templars sergeants!

And for the prussian units a question, are they supposed to be after of the appearance of the Knights of the Teutonic Order? I say this because the prussian spearmen and archers in your last version have black crosses and they have not a style semi-barbarous or Prussian / Baltic tribe

I admit that for the Prussian units I did not quite think about putting a few black crosses to them ... If these can be justified on upgrades, they should not be present in the 12th century. I need to review this texture.
For the Swadian swordsmen, I had tried (as for the knights of the holy sepulcher) to make them hold their sword with two hands (bastard swords for the time) and shields in the back ... perhaps it is in more logical effect to change their statistics.

For my own Stainless Steel 6.4 I have imported all of the incredible Islamic and Byzantine models by Dolen from the Broken Crescent Unit Model Improvement Project (UMIP). If you are interested in importing those models, I can share my edu and battlemodeldb if that would help.

Are these models suitable for all Muslim factions ? Almoravids are not present in Broken Crescent, for example.
The units with their associated textures interest me. The current SSHIP EDU can no longer accommodate new units; the existing models will have to be replaced.
The modeldb is useful for associating the right animation with the unit ... I know nothing about animation and I just use the animation codes already present in SSHIP.

[Kilgore Trout]

I've downloaded 9.4(v1) twice. Both times the downloads were complete, and neither time could I open the file. I have used both 7zip and an RAR Opener that I know work and got got the message "Could not open file" with both.

I'm okay now. I used 9 Zip. It worked just fine with that!

[kostic]

I have compressed my file with WinRAR 5.71 (32-bit) latest version.

[Lifthrasir]

Best compression rate is obtained with 7zip
The icing on the cake: usually it's also safer than Winrar or Winzip in terms of possible errors

[kostic]

@Kilgore Trout : Could you send me the mesh, their textures and the modeldb ?

[kostic]

I created a king model for the leaders that I installed in battlemodel.modeldb, then modified the campaign_script file like this:

;========== BYZANTINE LEADER BATTLE MODELS ==============
monitor_event BecomesFactionLeader FactionType byzantium
change_battle_model byzantium leader byzantine_emperor
end_monitor


monitor_event BecomesFactionHeir FactionType byzantium
change_battle_model byzantium heir byzantine_heir
end_monitor
;========== FRANCE LEADER BATTLE MODELS ==============
monitor_event BecomesFactionLeader FactionType france
change_battle_model france leader king_general
end_monitor


monitor_event BecomesFactionHeir FactionType france
change_battle_model france heir king_general
end_monitor

Why is it not working ?
The game starts normally, but the kings keep the appearance of the base generals.
Anyone know what I forgot ?
