Weird title...I'll try to explain:
While playing Empire, I noticed they kinda lack a decent defensive top-tier unit. Given the army books, I noticed the halberds have the option to get a shield and there even exists a named unit, depicted with a shield (Death's Heads)
Cause I wasn't sure, what would be the best option, for a two-handed weapon and a shield; I noticed the Bretonnia Zweihander have their shield on the back *yay*
Figured, that's exactly what I want. Now, I get as far as attaching the shield, cause the empire shield model doesn't seem to work and I have to use the bretonnia shield (brt_questing_knight_shield_01_l variantmeshes/wh_variantmodels/hu1/brt/brt_props/tex/ in the rigid model)
Now, while I get it to load properly and so on....I have now: either a decent shield on the back but with Brettonia ensigns or a completely messed up shield, when trying to replace the pointer of the *dds files within the rigid_model file.
I can handle a tad bit of Photoshop, Illustrator and possible some other fancy tools..but when it comes to DDS & 3d-editing am a f*ing n00b!
So my first question, is it even more or less possible to adapt the texture of the existent empire shield to the brettonia one without hazzle or is there some fellow & helpful guy, who might give me some help
[It's not an OP unit..just shielded Halberds according army book 7/8 with a slight increase to their armor save, cause 'shield'. can also posts screens, if desired, what I've accomplished so far or what is not working. But I guess, anybody with knowledge in 3D editing, might get a clue from my description ^^
Further; I tried to use "attach_point=spine_x", but obviously it's the model. I also managed to get the shield as surfing-board done...! 'surfing halberds of doom'
..screenshots on demand & thanks for any insight or help!
