Hello, I detected some unit lagging, the Iberian Slingers, and other light infantries seem to lack a body, in Spartan roster same and some units seem to be fighting without spear/sword and shields

Hello, I am looking for help on making new custom assets such as Arms and Armor. and maybe creating new "races" or skins. I have tried using 3d max 2018 however it won't even permit me to use the software and I have tried blender have absolutely no idea how it works how to import or export models. So i am asking for help for those modders who know what they are doing when it comes to that stuff

No idea, but if dei uses vanilla unit entries, yes ^^
Adalas⚜ 1 Jun, 2023 @ 3:45am 
works with DEI? could be a very stupid question

HELLO!,Hi would you tolerate in making a mod like this ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7r1SfkfvmQ8&t=10s

Does this mod work with Para Bellum?
cole? 25 Jul, 2021 @ 8:46pm 
I'm gonna assume this doesn't work with Divide et Impera? lol.

rom campaign 0.5 update?
dogface 5 Jun, 2021 @ 7:54am 
which unit is in the 28th screenshot
WHIT3 BROTH3R 15 May, 2021 @ 1:06pm 
amazing mod! brings new life to this game
Jademan Fitzro1 3 May, 2021 @ 7:50pm 
Could you please consider delete those Arena style description texts and upload them as a standalone addon? These are not compatible with other languages.

hello the sworn Veneto factions come out invisible you can fix it

ok I think i understand the issue with using the helmets, I just dont know how to resolve it. Any helmet that is a VMD itself will load in the editor but not in game.
B2TheW 26 Jan, 2021 @ 6:59pm 
Im using your Arena models pack for my own VMD's, but I cant seem to get the rom_helmet_gymnika helmet to load in game. It loads fine in the editor just not in game. Also all the other assetes from that pack load in-game too just not that helmet any ideas?
Vlady the Impaler  [author] 19 Nov, 2020 @ 11:18pm 
Thanks for the feedback all, it's great to see Rome2 is brimming :)
@kaleesh: I own all dlcs so technically every unit in the game has been virtually reskinned.
Campanian cavalry actually have their very own premium model which is pretty fancy! If I'm not mistaken!

I'll give it a bugfix sometime during the winter, I'm still very much involved on my Lord of the Ring campaign submod for RoM (attila) ;)
Kaleesh_General 19 Nov, 2020 @ 8:42pm 
does this mod work with the units added to the grand campaign by the dlcs, such as the campanian cavalry, etruscan hoplites, and so on?

BUG: Galatian Solduroi are bugged, they have no weapons or shields.
Working Joe 15 Nov, 2020 @ 1:10pm 
This is absolutely incredible Hoegni, you should be proud of yourself!! I will DEFINITELY be featuring this mod in my "ROME II Mods Weekly" series on YouTube! Just mind-blowing work here mate!
天使 1 Nov, 2020 @ 1:03am 
Hello, I was able to test the mod together with the interface and I really liked it, it looks spectacular and even improves performance. I don't know how you managed to get the cavalry to retreat from the battlefield without getting bogged down.

MY ONLY TWO COMPLAINTS is that the interface needs more work since it looks very little immersive in many things. And the last one is that I would like to see more variety in the soldiers, I know that in ARENA there was only one model, but we could be a little imaginative without losing style.
Vlady the Impaler  [author] 27 Oct, 2020 @ 5:08pm 
I only reskinned vanilla units, I guess it'll work partly!
ARIY@9 27 Oct, 2020 @ 3:11pm 
this mod can use with radious ?
Vlady the Impaler  [author] 26 Oct, 2020 @ 11:40am 
"Please make it compatible with DEI"
That'd be a lot of work, and I'm only deicated to my Lord of the Ring / War of the Ring campaign mod for Attila, I won't go back to modding Rome II ;)
Vlady the Impaler  [author] 11 Oct, 2020 @ 9:33am 
read the description I wrote everything down, if it doesn't work it's on your end to sort out why ! ;)
Alcartagena 10 Oct, 2020 @ 7:23pm 
@Hoegni. Thanks I will try with your pack.
Vlady the Impaler  [author] 22 Sep, 2020 @ 5:31pm 
@Alcartagena:
This is the pack !
INSTALLATION & REQUIRED ASSET:
"Arena_Pack_models_LT" (2.79gb assets pack): drive.google.com/open?id=1oT6rS7TRPifQepGZ03lLrmXJQPK1Nwoq

Sorry for any bugs, I'll look into it when I can ! :°
Alessar 🐺🦄🦅 21 Sep, 2020 @ 12:50am 
There are some units that doesn't show the javelins, like scutarii or shields like some elephants riders. THanks for the mod!
Phantom38 30 Aug, 2020 @ 9:05pm 
Went into a battle as Sparta in GC and all my Spartan units lacked shields
Alcartagena 19 Aug, 2020 @ 9:36am 
@Hoegni. Thanks for your advise, I'm still a total noob with modding. Where I can find the models_LT pack and how I can import them to the base game? Do I need to use BOB?
Vlady the Impaler  [author] 19 Aug, 2020 @ 5:20am 
Thank you Sigmoton :)
Indeed, Alcartagena has answered correctly, I had troubles making the elephants so I just didn't pursue it. Even though the Oliphant style cargo-towers is really cool yes x)

Same for chariots, and there we have total War saga: Troy ! Finally we have a realistic driver/warriors setup ! :)

@Alcartagena: Ha, make sure you import the models_LT pack, because the models are not included in the database/tables pack (it's too heavy to be conveniant) ! ;)
Alcartagena 18 Aug, 2020 @ 4:49pm 
@Hoegni Well the problem with my mod it's with the variant mesh definitions. I can't make them visible, I use the arena variant_models and my units are invisible and I don't really know how to fix it. I'm trying to replicate your tables but it doesn't work.

@sigmonton The elephant towers in Arena are smaller than the Rome 2 original towers and the units don't fit at all and they need to be resized https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2201900808 . But your idea sounds really interesting.
sigmoton 10 Aug, 2020 @ 5:08pm 
Hello Hoegni, your ARENA Reskin is really awesome. Your work deserves appreciation.

Since you have access to the ARENA models, i assume you also possess the database, and it would be fantastic if you could let me get access to that database, why?

Because i just looked up some pics about Total War ARENA again, and noticed how the elephants there not only just larger, but also capable at carrying more men than their Rome II/ Attila counterparts.

And since these games are compatible to one another, i could make an "Better Elephants" mod for the workshop.

I´ll await your answer at the moment, take your time. :)
Vlady the Impaler  [author] 9 Aug, 2020 @ 8:27am 
@Pegaso: Well, as I declared earlier, I'm done with the mod. Maybe aerlier than I thought, but I won't be able to mod it further, by lack of assets for celts/brits, and other factions.

Maybe when arena launches this autumn I'll grab some stuff and make awesome Gladiators & persians tweaks but that's it !

Plus, Troy is launching in a few days and I'm sure as hell I won't play Rome 2 in a while. I might try to include celts/thracians in Troy in some way though, but I'll see!

Troy will be a much better game, even just technically, so I have no real interest in keeping on Arena:Reskin, or even my Lord of the Ring Campaign mod for Rise of Mordor.

So cheers to all !
@alcartagena: ask me in feedback then, I don't accept out-of-real life friends on my steam account ;)
Alcartagena 7 Aug, 2020 @ 4:56pm 
Hey Hoeni, can I add you? I need some help/advice with arena mods.
[ESP] Pegaso 26 Jul, 2020 @ 12:17pm 
hoegni what more units are you doing?
GoettlicherOreo 22 Jul, 2020 @ 12:27am 
Man I miss Total War: Arena. Thank You for this great mod!
Vlady the Impaler  [author] 12 Jul, 2020 @ 4:45am 
Cool! I hope you'll enjoy the mod then ;)
Cheers!
SnickerKöning: The maidenless 12 Jul, 2020 @ 3:26am 
Yeah i found it shortly after posting the comment but never thought of deleting it... Sorry for that, thanks anyway!!!
Vlady the Impaler  [author] 11 Jul, 2020 @ 1:50pm 
When inside the launcher, click on mod manager, and in the second column from left click the button-slider name /enabled/ or /active/, my mod manager isn't in eng!
You should see my packfile without problem if put in the Rome2/data folder :°
SnickerKöning: The maidenless 10 Jul, 2020 @ 2:15am 
How do i activate the file that i had to put in the /Total War Rome II/data folder? I don't see it in the launcher between other mods... Sorry im dumb!
Vlady the Impaler  [author] 6 Jul, 2020 @ 1:27pm 
Hmm, Thought about it but it's not the same as reskinning units I think there's issues with skeleton rigs, I'll try once but can't promise anything! As I said I won't be working on this mod anymore :°

cheers!
๎๎ 6 Jul, 2020 @ 9:34am 
yes heroes spies new reskin
Vlady the Impaler  [author] 5 Jul, 2020 @ 7:30am 
Please report precisely in 'Bug Reports' !
There is no modification which removes shields for celts nor germans, what faction are you talking about then ?
Scushiie 4 Jul, 2020 @ 10:22pm 
So far the skin mods are good for each faction except the barbarian tribes where other units who usually have shieldwalls have no shields at all. They look ridiculous when they try to do a shieldwall without a shield. Standard bearers are also invisible and some units have no lower bodies.
Vlady the Impaler  [author] 4 Jul, 2020 @ 9:14am 
Enjoy ! That's it for the month ! x)

The mod is 99% complete ;)
I know Total War Arena is up and adding new factions, but I won't follow up on those developments.
When Troy will be out in august, I will stop working on this mod totally, and perhaps help on a Thrones of Britannia antiquity reskin, who knows.

I hope you all have enjoyed the ride as much as I did !!
Expect maybe some tweaks here & there but I won't be very active anymore, life is taking me back!
Feel free to report bugs in the according discussions.

Thank you!! :)
