#Medieval total war 2 tutorial bug skin

Step 24: Rename the ax 'Primary weapon', make sure the skin modifier is always on top. Step 23: The ax's texture will be a bit screwed up so add a 'Unwrap UVW Map' modifier, select 'Edit' and resize the verticies over the appropriate section of texture. Step 22: Back in 3dsmax apply your new texture. Step 20: Resize the ax texture and place it over the javelin and shield part of the peasant texture. Step 19: Now that that is done, its time to edit the texture, open Photoshop. Step 18: So that the ax moves with the rest of his body, apply a skin modifier (from the drop down menu on the right) and add the right hand bone. Step 17: Place the ax in the velite's right hand, his throwing hand. Step 16: Import the Francisca model from the 'models_missile' folder in 'Data'. Step 15: Delete the Javelin he is holding along with the 2 across his shield.

Step 14: Open 3dsmax and then import the velite model. However because that would be a bit repetitive il only be doing the highest detail Julii velite. Obviously, if you want to encompass all the LOD then you'll need the high,med, and low CAS files, furthermore, for each roman faction you'll need to edit the texture. In models_unit search: 'unit_roman_velite_high.CAS' and in your unpacked Rome textures folder search 'UNIT_ROMAN_PEASANT_'. The files we'll need are the velite texture and the velite model. Step 13: You might have noticed that the axes are thrown but the velites still hold javelins, we are about to remedy that. Step 12: Run RTW, you should now have this:

Scroll to the 'stat_pri' line and where it says 'javelin' type 'francisca'. Step 11: CTRL+F and search 'Velites', which is the unit i'll be giving this beauty to. Step 10: You have now successfully placed the Francisca ax in game, its time to have a unit equip it. Step 9: Open it and at the bottom of the file paste the francisca data that you copied from the projectiles txt in BI. Step 8: Backtrack to 'Data' and locate 'descr_projectiles_new.txt'. Step 7: Go back into the folder right before and then paste 'BI_Projectile_francisca.CAS' from your other folder here. Paste 'Bi_projectile_' from that other folder here. Go into 'models missile' and then 'textures'. Step 6: Go back to your RTW root folder and this time go into the RTW data folder. Step 5: Now go into 'Textures' and copy 'BI_projectile_' to the same other folder as your model.

Step 4: Now for the model and texture, go into 'models_missile' and copy/paste 'BI_projectile_francisca.CAS' to another folder, we'll use this later as well. Copy paste the Francisca entry and paste somewhere in a new text file, you'll need it later. Step 3: We'll start off with 'Descr_projectiles_new.txt'. Step 2: Okay, notice 'models_missile' and 'descr_projectile_new.txt'? Those are the two files that we'll be using. Because we wont be making our own models and textures go into 'bi'. Step 1: Okay, start out by opening up explorer and navigating to 'Activision/Rome - Total War'. Adobe Photoshop, for texturing, i suppose you could use GIMP though. Barbarian Invasion Expansion Pack for the source file. Notepad, or similar text editing device.

#Medieval total war 2 tutorial bug mod

Also, I'd like to thank Terikel, by examining his mod i was able to figure out the necessary steps to adding projectiles. This is just example of the simplicity of adding projectiles, you can of course give it to any other unit or add a different projectile. Because i'm a bit lazy i will be taking the ax from the Francisca Heerban from Barbarian Invasion and giving it to our vanilla Roman velites. So, i didn't notice any tutorials on adding projectiles to RTW.
