Imperial Units for RTR Minimod


Hi, yap i'm still alive, only that now i'm working in IB

check the link

http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?p=3591584#post3591584

i didn't think people keep playing this mini mod...maybe i should take a final version, i already have it in my own rtw with so many more changes than this ...

mmmmm :hmmm:

maybe i could....

you see I've made my version work with several packs, when the 4tpy show you the date, and in the right year, you receive a message warning you "now will be a god time to install pack number 5 - gaius julius caesar" ... for example.

I've design 7 different packs, so no more stupid Marian reforms, now the reforms happen when it supposed to happen (or when you want to happen). You can jump from one pack to the other and even go back to previous packs and the game still works with the same savegame.

The problem is i should start asking for the right permissions and stuff...is a little disgusting process...hey anybody want's a new work as Carajudo's public relation?? LOL if anybody help me with those i can do the rest of things...


some screens...

















as you see with each pack most of the units evolve....even the names of the officers and the factions change over time, for example, roman republic to roman empire. In the segmentata legionaries screen, the one with long trousers is just a "winter legionnaire" with bonus when walking or fighting on snow.

Well i say this once again, i need some sort of public relation assistant LOL somebody who goes trough the process of asking door by door to the different modders for permissions in using some model or skin... anybody???

Click to expand...

You fool! Learn proper english! Just joking :wink:

I'm unknown to other mods then RTR, so can you explain it? Does it give more units to the Romans? Does it give you post-Marian units at the start?

Last question, any screens?

The mod adds the imperial units AFTER the marian reforms, and doesn't replace any of the RTR units, just add units to the mod.

And this is one of the Loading Screens i plan to use , because i'm tired of the RTR black and white screens, they are great!! but i'm just tired of them

They look great! Not sure if I like the plume on the urbans, but v.v. good all the same. I'm having trouble downloading it from that link, though - have you thought of uploading it to the downloads section?

edit: ah, got it now - just had to wait a while for the download!

and i decided to include this centurion (full legions pack) whit scutum.

hmmm, in the download theres a map called "sprites" , cant find this map in my data folder?
i use rtr 6.3.

For some reason the page doesn`t allow me to upload any files
if you want add me to my MSN and i'll send you the zip over there,

[email protected]


When you hit the link for download the zip, it takes you to another page, then you click in the FREE option and the download should start

YES, in RTR folder theres a folder named sprites, and it contains all of the sprites for RTR, but some of the units i use for this minimod need their own sprites, so ... , the folder in the download is a diferent folder from the RTR folder, and it includes ONLY the sprites for the new units

ive putted the sprite folder from the download into my rtr data folder and started a rtr game with greek, i opened a battle with one unit of spartan hoplites, i saw the the game still used the sprites of the original rtr, not the one of the new spartan hoplite.

yes,the units that already were in RTR like the spartans and the Early cohort (also the equites alares, the general guard and others) still using the same sprites for reduce the size of the zip, anyway you didn¡t need to move the folder in the download, you just unzip it into the Rome total war folder

i tried a custom battle but RTW crushed with this error:
"filename doesm't exit: Data/RTR/models_unit/rome_late_centurian_high.cas
all I've done is paste data folder...

the problem comes when you select legionaries (the one from RTR, non the late legionaries you added)

i've tried only in custom battle (I still waiting for marian reform in campain) are they still avalible in cumpain game?

Let's see Johnny, yes the imperial units activates after the marian reforms in the campaign map,the file you miss ...well i check it out and my version find it , perhaps you somehow delete it?or a bad installation??
anyway i submit the missing file in this atachment, paste it in the folder you mencioned before

thanks, i was really waiting a mod like this, great work!

Very nice, this mod looks very great, but unfortunatlly I dont have time to play mods as I got to make them. But seriuosly if I still had RTR I would definatly get this mod

Ditto to KoA. If i were still on RTR I'd be alll over this

don't worry , i'm still working in a mod but is not over RTR, it's going to take time because the models takes a lot of time to build, and it will be about the persian wars not the romans, but anyway i hope to finish the first model for monday

This looks very cool. I like that it it adds in the "best of the best" units, regardless of time frame.

One thing though, you didn't update the units descriptions for Onagers. The text needs to be fixed there.

Aside from that, awesome job. I just added this to my Roman campagn and like the variety it adds, turtle formation is back, and the Spartans look badass!

Also, the mercs seem messed up now. I can buy Egyptian mercs in Greece, and their unit cards are all of peasents. I like your mod allot, but these things need to be fixed a bit.

I'm using the 6.3 hotfix version btw. Let me know when you fix these things, I'd like to use your mod when its fixed. Thanks!

Those are nice Spartans! Really awesome, and would be the very perfect Spartan skin if the Lambda on the shield was bigger (for both).

Are you planning to edit the standards?

Biffius, is not the first time i heard about thet mercenary problem thing, are you on a savegame from a previus campaign before installing my mod??????? My custom mod only works whit a clean campaign , and a clean RTR (no vanilla ,BI or other stuff)

and please if you can, what is btw???

sorry, i'm not planing to modify much from the original RTR , i think they did a great job whit this unique mod, and i'll try to modify the mod the less i can, i only add these units because they were my favourite ones, and i miss them so much!!!

This minimod was a personal thing and it's uploaded as it was build...for me!! LOL
But i'm open to sugestions, to change some units or skin if you think there's another better out there, or whatever

I think im that guy that Carajudo is talking about. I had that same problem playing a previously saved game with rome in the post marian era. I thought it was it weird being able to recruit agemas in italy. A clean install does solve the problem, i know thats the only painful part. But im having a blast now

OK, thanks very much for the info. I'll try a new campaign. I really like this mod because it makes it more of a best vs best game.

Carajudo, "btw" means "by the way". Thanks again for your mod and info.

Well, Carajudo, i'm really happy to see you back! So just a few comment but remember that i love you're mod, right!
For Roman, maybe you can remove onager and replace the unit with the legionary cavalry, it will be better.
You can edit the end of the game at 100 AD, by this way you're mod will be fun AND historically accurate.
And now the BIG thing, will be if you can add the wonderfull Signifer one animation pack to you're mod, will be simply perfect!
thank's again for you're work!

LOL
i have the same chat minutes ago....


If you watch carefuly the future loading screen whit the spartan...i'm using already the signifer one animations compatible whit RTR 6.2 (hotfix), but just for my personal RTR, i'm not planing to include the mod in my mod zip untill i get signifer's permission, the fact is that i'm testing signifer one animations compatibility whit my minimod, and it CTD many times,but i already find a temporal solucion for that, i put the sword again for all the hoplites, that seems to fix the CTD, anyway i'm only using the new animations for the hoplites since the legions loose too much flexibility whit the new animation

Anyway what i can do for now is this:

Install RTW
Install RTR 6.0
Install RTR 6.1,6.2 and the hotfix
Intall then the Signifer one animation mod ( the one compatible whit 6.2 and hotfix)
and THENNN (TIRED AHH??) Install this Signifer one compatible mod of Imperial Units for RTR (my mod)


http://rapidshare.de/files/6902448/Carajud...tible_.exe.html


If you were already playing whit my hotfix compatible mod, then you just need to install the signifer one 6.2 compatible mod , and then this version of my mod, don't worry, this thing is all about animations so you can still using my mod savegames (i'm using my saved campaign and ....not a single problem)

Sorry, the signifer one animations mod, compatible whit RTR 6.2 was made by Trajans, i miss that!! sorry Trajan
