Standards and Captains, how to?

[Vir Egregius]

hi all,

can there be more than one standard bearer and captain for every unit?
i have been playing around with standards for quite awhile now, and i can edit them successfully.

the problem is when i try to add another standard bearer to the julii quote below i always get a ctd. i might be doing something wrong, sadly i cannot find any tutorials on this.


type roman_standard
skeleton fs_standard_bearer
indiv_range 40
texture romans_julii, data/models_unit/textures/unit_roman_standard_julii.tga
model_flexi_m data/models_unit/officer_roman_standard_400.cas, 8
model_flexi_m data/models_unit/officer_roman_standard_300.cas, 15
model_flexi_m data/models_unit/officer_roman_standard_200.cas, 30
model_flexi_m data/models_unit/officer_roman_standard_100.cas, 40
model_flexi data/models_unit/officer_roman_standard_70.cas, max
model_sprite romans_julii, 60.0, data/sprites/ romans_julii_roman_praetorian_cohort_ii_sprite.spr
model_tri 400, 0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5

this is my try to add a new standard

type roman_standard01
skeleton fs_standard_bearer
indiv_range 40
texture romans_julii, data/models_unit/textures/ unit_roman_standard_julii01.tga
model_flexi_m data/models_unit/officer_roman_standard_400.cas, 8
model_flexi_m data/models_unit/officer_roman_standard_300.cas, 15
model_flexi_m data/models_unit/officer_roman_standard_200.cas, 30
model_flexi_m data/models_unit/officer_roman_standard_100.cas, 40
model_flexi data/models_unit/officer_roman_standard_70.cas, max
model_sprite romans_julii, 60.0, data/sprites/ romans_julii_roman_praetorian_cohort_ii_sprite.spr
model_tri 400, 0.5f, 0.5f, 0.5


can someone send me examples please, im all ears

As long as the TGA.DDS (unit_roman_standard_julii01.tga) exists in the right place there should be no problem. You'll need to activate the bearer in the relevant same-faction unit entry in EDU of course.

You can have all the officers you want as long as you have no more than (if I remember rightly) 3 assigned to any single unit.

I'm not sure what you mean by captains but if lesser generals then you can only have 1 per faction (both on the strat map and battlemap); same with generals because of the way they are defined.

Hope this helps.
