[misfitsfiend138]

[el_dude]

lol i haven't been playing RTW since october (just recently DL'd SPQR 6.2 after playing 6.1 for god knows how long) and this skin pack still isn't done (take your time)!

will this be compatible with savegames?

[Hesus de bodemloze]

thy look cool really nice :-)

[lordgeordie]

hello

right, everyone who has helped me on this has had major problems making the sprites, so i have decided the give you lot the units, tga's and the banners and see who can actually create the ptolemaics!, i am sorry, but very thankfull to all that helped.

if anyone manages to get these working please release the pak to all

LG ptolemaic 2dart has the banners

thanks and sorry it beat me!

[el_dude]

[misfitsfiend138]

WOOHOO! ill be checking these out, thank you lord gordie. o yea the finalunits.zip doesnt work

[misfitsfiend138]

[el_dude]

they do look nice indeed...are you taking up spriting duties misfitsfiend?

[misfitsfiend138]

no, i dont know how to do that. they do look awesome indeed, the elite swordsmen are sweet.

[Kaweh]

Ah, good idea to release them, LG. Sorry for not making the sprites yet... I'm so damn busy with school. Try to aks Werner again, can't remember if he answered last time, but it's worth a try, I'd say.

K.K

The sprites aside, these are excellent units! Those sword hoplites are great.

[rstoner]

Has someone already started making the sprites for these? If not i'll do it.

Edit: I haven't had time to test them but they all looked fine as I was converting them to DDS so I'm sure they'll work.

Edit 2: I checked the rest of the thread and the peltasts I sprited appear to be elephant javlineers.
I resprited them with the right animation:

Be sure to delete all four of the unit's original sprite files if you've already installed them. Merely overiting two of them with the new ones will cause the sprites to flicker between the two sets ingame.

hello

the problem units will be the new nile spearmen (love these guys) and the new numbian units that use new 3d models,

the elephants loook dam nice if i do say so lol, i am sooooooo sorry my skills only lay in tga and 3d modelling, sprites are beyond me

hope they are useful, the banners are included too! kawenk's (k'ks) which are brilliant. hope this gives a fresh perspective to spqr

note: werner was brilliant and had a go but unfortunatly he had problems and the units wouldn't work, same problem a number of folk have had?

No worries, geordie. Like said before, these are great.

[lordgeordie]

hello

has anyone got the new model units working?

p.s also anyone got the banners in.........really want to see them !

[Crawe]

I'm using all the heavy spearmen, pikemen, and swordsmen without any problems - sdstoner's sprites seem to work just fine. Thanks man! I haven't tried the 'ethnic' african units yet - skirmisher, light archer, light cavalry, elephants, etc.

give us an update when you try them and let us know if all the units are working properly! btw, do your savegames work with the skinpack (i'm guessing they won't)?

[lordgeordie]

hello

hope this does work with folks save games? but doubt it too, hope it adds something people want to SPQR

[Samariten]

Were should i extract these files?
