Why would that be stupid? Since when do mercs care who they're working for, as long as they're paid? Alexander faced Greek mercs in Persian forces, for example.

One thing you might think about...

Can anyone tell me what key it is that makes the panel invisible in the battle screen. I've seen games played without the panel on YouTube and was wondering how I could do this.

Thanks.

Theorhetically, yes. It's been done with chariot horses. The problems are that you'd have to come up with the skeletons and animation files to go with it (a LOT of modding there), and in the game...

Is it possible to transfer the shieldwall or schiltrom formations into RTW from BI, without having to go through the -mod command line?

Also, which file deals with things like unit spacing in the...

Thanks guys. I thought I was stuck having to do the whole thing over again.

I have a bit of a problem here. I was using an animation CAS to position the shield on a model. I got it in a sweet spot (very few clipping problems) and saved. Now I don't know how to get it back...

Wouldn't do much good. When you designate the unit as phalanx capable in EDU, the game uses a set of spears different to the model's. Unless you can figure out where those spear models are and how...

If you got pics, post them. I'm always looking for new ideas.

Of my own I'm working on Carthage. Particularly this helmet:

Alright guys, here it is. Fully done phalangite model in all four resolutions. Special helmet type done for Alcibiades of Athens. Includes new sword, scabbard, and shield straps. Tried it myself...

A colour pic for your collection.

Okay. Despite deleting old attachments, I still can't put any new ones on.

Sooo, here's a filefront link with the new model. (Thanks Tone)

Please tell me I got it right this time.

And...

I don't suppose there's any way to delete attachments from previous posts? I can edit topics and such.

Well, I WAS going to post the latest (hopefully last) model version, with scabbard, new sword and shield straps, but apparently I can't post attachments on this thread anymore. I'm getting the "you...

It's called "Pulling The Curtain"; a stage play from the 1930's (updated) about a small southern (US) town's community theatre group trying to put on a play, and failing miserably. It's not...

:sweating: Whew. Well, that's one out of the way. Guess I'll start on the lower rez versions then.

It's also shown me a few mistakes I made on my earlier models. I just got a bunch of pics on...

Sorry it took so long but I had last minute technical issues with the model, and I've been waiting for Alcibiades to answer my last post.

Since he's obviously busy, I guess I'll just post it here....

Ha. Okay, I've got a rehersal in about half an hour, so I gotta go (Oh. Never told you guys I was an actor, did I? Well, that's my reputation gone. :P ).

But I'll send you the High beta model...

Thank you for the pic. That'll be a big help.

Hope everybody had a good Easter. I took the day off. But I'm back in the saddle now.

A of A. Haven't heard from you. Is that the model you...

The very special request. 12 hours for this model.
Hope this is what you want.

It is now 4:30 AM here. I'm going to bed

:snoring:

Here's an idea. How about I send you the model and you do the cheekguards? :silly:

Hee hee! They still don't work. Max says they're missing DLL files. :laughter:

Perhaps some of the more experienced modellers can aid me.

When adding scabbards to a model, is there any way to get the sword to appear in the scabbard, then switch to the hand? Like when the...

Both. And when not selected either.

It has to be an optical illusion. Because when I render it, it looks fine in the render.

As you can see here: In the viewscreen (Perspective). ...

Hee hee! Looks like you're going to have to upload it again, Alcibiades. The file's corrupted. It won't open. :funny:

Don't mind me. Been having a hard time today. It's just how my luck seems...

I'm attaching a shield boss onto a shield, right? I center it, get it perfectly aligned in all three dimensions, attach it. Done.

I map it in the texture file. Perfect.

I open the texture...

Well, the crest is a completely separate piece, and the metal texture for the crest ridge is from the crest on the texture file. I'm working on that, but so far using the same metal as on the helmet...

Okay, okay, I give in. But from this point on I don't do requests.

Is this what you're looking for?

BTW, the model you showed me in...

That first and last one were just what I was talking about, especially the first one. I prefer real pics to paintings. Too bad you don't have a larger size. I tried zooming it but it loses...

Had a report of a bug in the Macedonian Phalanx Pikeman. Apparently a hole would appear in the left cheekguard when the head turned.

This was due to an unassigned vertix in the skin modifier.

Well, the latter helmet is more historical for 2nd to 1st century BCE, as it was more common then. The Thracian is more Early Successor. But I did it to give Macedon a more posteric image.

As...

It'll take a while. I'm getting hold of that template for info cards. But the unit cards are beyond me right now. I don't have, nor can afford, Photoshop (still using Paint Shop Pro 5), and though...

Yeah, thanks. But I'm using these guys to fight an ongoing campaign, combining work with pleasure (otherwise I'd never have time to play). You might notice the Greek flags in the background here...

Here's the other Macedonian model.

Yeah, it is a bit, isn't it?

Well that's mainly because this particular battle had the sun coming in from the west, either early morning or late afternoon, I don't know. That always plays hell...

Greetings, folks!

For those bored with the old CA Phalangite models I've got a gift for you!

Four new additions to the armies of Macedon!:cheer2:

Macedonian Phalanx Pikemen at ease...

Well, I knew about rendering but, God knows why, it didn't even cross my mind to try it. Being ignorant about it is one thing. That's excusable.

Since I knew about it, and yet I've spent about...

I don't believe an in-game shot is necessary, as it shows up in Max quite by itself.

Hey guys.

A question. 3DSMax can do texture maps in both the 256x256 and 512x512 range, right? Is there a way to get it to read a 512 map in the 256 resolution?

Let me explain. I had an idea...

Whoa. Weird response.

Followed the command line instructions and got this:
