Really nice job

I'll have a look in the NIF to see if I can rotate the shield

OK ComG I had a look at your unit. I guess the easiest way to get the shield as you wish is not to rotate it in the NIF Viewer but to modify the shield texture in the associated skin file, spearman_128.dds (and in spearman_128_gloss.dds file too).

Please tell me if you find it better this way :

How did you that? I thought the texture was symetrical...
You modify the nif for the texture?

Great job and thank you... !!

I think i will have a lot of probleme with the rotation (i'm trying to put a sword from the swordsman to the spearman... )

You're welcome, I'm glad I could help.

I did that quite simply, just image modification with GIMP or any picture software that supports dds. In the 2 spearman dds files, you have this very recognizable half-shield part on the right side. I just copied the half-symbol and pasted it after a symetrical switch (turn this "/" into a "\" ).
Then when the texture is used by the NIF Viewer, the shield symbol is upside down. Nothing complicated as you can see

This is nicely done. I had hoped someone would make the spartans. Now this would be a worthy foe. What will the mythology mod be called?

Can you make the arms, er... solid-er. Looks a bit thin.

Thank you Los Tirano...
My mod (Gods of Olympus) is in progress (You can find here ou forum (french..))

For the arms, it's depends on the model, and the phalanx is too thin, but i think i will try to remake it with the spearman...)

Bye

I think it's the greekphalanx, it's in the unique units folder (or better yet just copy the KFM tag from art definition for greek phalanx).

Click to expand...

You must be missing its texture. Go to the original phalanx folder and grab all the DDS files there and copy them to whereever this unit is located, BUT DO NOT overwrite any files, just let the missing textures copy to there.

Great Unit, but I am having a problem installing it. I have copied all the phalanx DDS files to the new folder along with your files, but in game all I get is Red circles. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong.
