[BTS] Cultural Diversity Mod

[Chuggi]

I forgot to fill in the readme so for now, this thread is the readme but I'll fix that in the next release.

I was also going to PAK all the art files up but I couldn't get it to work properly so I left the new stuff unpacked (with the exception of the hundred + units in VD which I left packed). The units in the Assets/art/units are ones from the EDU mod I think, though I may have edited some. I think all the units in the CD folder are mine, or at least edited by me.

I am surprised you did not use your european explorer for Spain and Portugal, esp. since that is his origin

Quick note to Chuggi:
-it seems that the texture for the sword of the european explorer is missing/not found (nice purple sword effect, though, ala Star Wars )

I realised that as soon as I read that Magellan was from Portugal I think Spain's good with the conquistador explorer though.

Just checked, there's a texture missing. Just copy the original explorer textures to that folder for now, and it should look better.

Thanks for the feedback.

You do not yet seem to make use of your ancient german general, the dir also still contains a large .psd file (in addition to its .dds version).

They're just WIP's, will be cleaned up later.

 

[mamba]

Well, he did look nice enough imo

You're done!

I love the little de Gaulle.

I tried doing this...

I copied the following files over:
explorer.dds
explorer_gloss.dds
explorer_gloss_128.dds

Didn't change a thing (still have purple sword)... did I miss a file, or do I need to rename something? I can't get the purple sword to stop being... well... purple!


A THOUGHT:
Could you just post a quick download link to the missing sword texture here until you have time to get it incorporated with the rest of the mod?

You need

PapalSpearman_Weapons_128.dds
PapalSpearman_Weapons_128_gloss.dds

from Charlemagne_PapalSpearman.

Here they are

 

[Chuggi]

Not sure about the explorer.. I thought it was the explorer weapons.. I'll check it out when I get home though.

Well, those two dds's are referred to in the .nif, I now have explorer_128.dds and explorer_gloss_128.dds along with the two spearman dds in the dir and the sword looks fine now. Maybe the spearman weapon is for the shield (which your unit does not actually have), but either way, adding these 4 solved the problem for me.

EDIT: apparently Wolf misses the explorer_128.dds, at least he did not list it.

 

[Wolfshanze]

How you ever figured that out, I'll never know... but I'm fixing it on my end as we speak.

Well, with nifskope you can see what dds files are referred to by the unit. That is how I found the ones I needed. You also missed explorer_128.dds from the explorer unit, that too is referenced, so if the spearman files don't solve it, that one will

Wait... so what EXACTLY do we need and/or are we missing from Chugg's Explorer to get this guy to work... I tried the files with Chugg's mod and the Papal files and still got the pink sword.

Someone please upload the exact files we need and/or instructions if anything needs to be renamed (or not).
