True Bronze (DISCONTINUED)

Description
2025 NOTE: I'm no longer modding Rome II, because I don't really care about the game and Total War in general anymore. The mod still works but I can't guarantee compatibility with large overhauls. Some are already using assets from this mod. If you'd like to use these in your mod, you can do so, you can credit me if you like. Thanks for all the downloads, favs etc. and happy new year

NOTE: Please load the mod on top of the load order; since some mods contain the old textures for some reason, if they are loaded on top of this mod the textures will be vanilla. Same goes for all texture replacement mods, such as the clean texture mod mentioned below.

This mod aims to retexture all bronze equipment in vanilla Rome II, taking full advantage of the game's rendering by remaking all textures from the ground up to achieve similar effect to the assets included in the Rise of the Republic DLC and Celticus' and Benjin's Rome II HD mods. The vanilla textures used to stick out like a sore thumb in comparison to those, but hopefully no longer.

I retextured those using base game meshes and normal maps, in some cases remaking those from scratch as they were too low quality to be properly retextured.

The alpha version of the mod includes most of hellenic, italian and roman bronze equipment, such as helmets, breastplates, greaves and shields. Hopefully I will be able to finish rest of bronze equipment, such as celtic or eastern, and perhaps move on to iron. There may be some quirks with the textures, in which case please feel free to contact me directly with a screenshot so I could fix them.


SPECIAL THANKS:

I'd like to thank Celticus and Benjin for helping me out with the texturing process and the kind words of appreciation. Their mods inspired me to commit to this project fully and see it through. Also, I used their models as reference for my own textures. I'd also like to thank the author of Rome at War mod for Mount and Blade: Warband, as I used his beutiful models as references to whenever I had to manually remake the models from scratch. If you play Warband, definitely check his mod out.

NOTE: Screenshots taken with Clean Texture For Rome II mod by Kagarino Kirie. It replaces decalt dirtmap textures with blanks, which results in clean textures, metal or otherwise. Until I figure out my custom dirtmaps, use this one for best effect.

Hey Marcus when are you going to release the mod? Just give him credit if you don't get a response. Waiting on this one.

Does your mod conflict with this one? Or with this mod we get the retexture with your bronze colour?

Hey, I wanted to ask if i can release a DEI compatible version of your mod and of course crediting you (I just removed assets conflicting with DEI)

Hi I wanted to ask can I use your mod Elite Linothorax armour new textures in my mod?

I just want to make ekstra elite linothorax armour variants with these nice textures, they would fit perfectly for some of my Carthage units. Altough I am going to make that texture size smaller so it would take less room.
Marcus Aurelius 20 Dec, 2021 @ 9:18am 
I confirm one incompatibilities with DEI the linothorax is bugged otherwise it works

Hey there! I was wondering if I could have permission to integrate this amazing asset into my total conversion mod, New World. Proper credit will be given, of course.
