yeah thanks i saw it worked good stuff when its combined

It is gonna replace whatever is they standard "roman_gladius" in that mod, but you must make sure that this mod loads first, if need be by renaming the .pack with more "@@@@" in front.

does it work the the extravaganza armor mod the one that goes with vanilla the Caesar because i saw they said they change the swords and was wondering if this works with it or if it like is gonna mess up all swords or maybe half and half or it just not working

Is the shield and gladius mod not compatible with dei?

Dei would be nice

Oh I would love a DEI version by the way. Something compatible with https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1591309907 too cuz it's so damn pretty.

@everyones :
Here is 3dx max playing an animation that my program has extracted from Rome2:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcJI_DM-BR4

I have finally gotten animations OUT of Total War games, so people can edit them and put them back in the game My program RigidModel Editor 1.0, that can do those things will be released as soon as correct the last few bugs. It can do lots of thingd, including drawing the models with textures, lighting normal mapping, so they look like in-game.

everyone: have finished the Dei Campaign Camera SubMod:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1760624445

You have to switch the vanilla Campaign Cam mod off, when you use this, because the vanille one can change the behaviour of DeI in a bad way. That is why is made a special mode for DeI.

Please try it :)

Ciridian : Thanks :) It is actually the vanilla model, Celticus retextured is with a fancy 3d program, and i looked really good, Celticus is very good at doing textures, BUT the 3d program uses another mechanism for metal shine, so I retextured the blade with a 2d graphics program, so it shines more :)

Ooh - is it a Mainz, or is it a Fulham - I'd say Mainz.. Whatever - why didn't I have this subscribed already? Gorgeous!

@everyone:


Updated camera mods, adjusted battle camera and fixed campaign camera

The campaign camera mod has been updated so it works without any issues for the following campaigns:

- Grand Campaign
- Imperator Augustus
- Cæsar in Gaul
- Empire Divided
- Rise of The Republic


https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1497092498


The battle mod camera mod has adjusted so the the movement and rotation speed fits better with the longer range, and min/max height is also slightly adjusted.

Thanks :)

Love the shield and gladius mods, keep it up.

I have released the Shield Mod, please try it:)

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1727260522

I Here is a demo pic

Then go further, make more than just swords, do a total remaster for weapons or such things, effects etc.

Ok, maybe, but last times I made a Dei version of a sword, almost no one used it :) So maybe it is not something that people want?

I would like a DEI version but maybe add model differences between types of units? This shiny sexy gladius on better units and a old grimey one on lesser units?

If there is not such thing as 'main gladius', then change like 1/2 of the gladius at all for your version, so it would show way more than just 1 in 10 you know what i mean. But I really recommend making more editions.

No, you should just replace the main one Gladius, or make more gladius versions it would be great.

This is only ONE sword, in DeI there are several different Roman swords, so should all Roman swords in DeI be replaced?

DEI VERSIONN

@everyone: Demo picture of my new shield mod, many shields are not done so there is a lot of "repeating" going on. (much more variation in finished version)

But it actually RUNS now, so I COULD upload it as beta maybe...?
https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/820127919137076190/AB1A3DB690B778CF4D60C6A0AEA9087D4A5EA7C0/

@everyone: Here are some IN-GAME demo pictures of my upcoming shield mod:
It is the plan to change ALL shields, and make 2 versions, one for people with lots of Video RAM, and on for people with less.

(Best one-:) )

Here:
https://github.com/Frodo45127/rpfm/releases/tag/v1.5.1

I think it is a much better program, I know the guy that makes it, and he is really coder, you should use his Rusted PFM, it it so much better,

I currently use the 'classic' PFM to edit mods that i get to my personal preference. where do i get the rusted version?

Its ful title is Rusted Pack File Manager, it is a more advanced version of and older program, Pack File Manager (which is think is being updated again). You use it to manipulate game data files, that then become the mods themselves.

what is Rusted PFM?

Well, for modding in general or for changing code or graphics?
Just for the getting the changed files into the game you need either Rusted Pack File Manager (RPFM) or just Pack File Manager (PFM), and then for graphics you can use GIMP (like I do) or photoshop, and for 3d stuff there is 3ds Max and Substance Painter. There is a bit more to it, but that is the basics.

what program do you use? tweak or something else cuz i want to learn to do this type of stuff while im able (time wise)

Don'y know yet, so fair it will "only" replace the 22 Augustan legianary sheilds, but I will take some time, it takes time to make those patterns

does this replace cohort shields?

No name yet, it is just for replacing the old lo res Shield Patterns :)

what is the mod called? Btw, the pics look great.

you are welcome

Thanks :)

Just did that.

I am sorry to ask, but could you, who are already subs, pres the "thumbs up" button, so I can attract more users:)? Thanks you.

I have made a new Total War modding tool (in C++):
*** Rigid Model NotePad **** (string editor for .rigid_model_v2 files)
http://www.twcenter.net/forums/downloads.php?do=file&id=4417
It can edit texture files names and internal folders, tasks that normally require a hex editor and a LOT of patience.With this tool you can change textures for models very quickly.

captainkiller79: from Empire Divided MAYBE with some reskin, i think.

what unit is that in the screenshots?

Yes, this type of mod you can just turn on and off. That is because it just replaces some textures and a model, so it does not have any influence on game mechanics and thus not on save games.

Can you turn the mod off and on and keep playing the campaign, would it work that way?

elliot : That "conditional shine" you propose is actually quite complicated, much much more complicated than just replacing the textures for factions.

I want a mod that makes your shields, armor and swords shinny only when you have an iron workshop. If the faction isn't producing better equipment with better steal, than why should it shine. I never paid attention to the iron resource, or any resource until after playing Rome 2 for 6 years. Now I realize how realistic it is to have that resource and how fun it is to see the bonuses of controlling that resource.
