I'm not playing the game / modding the game anymore anyway: campaign map laggy as hell / badly optimized for my video card.
Feel free to edit my mod and make you own with it, it's pretty simple with the Pack File Manager (can be found at twcenter.net)
Have fun!

Hi! Mod Manager says this mod was created with an older version of the game. So please update it! Thanks! :)

Hi all, i have recently updated this mod to work with the newer version of the game:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=846268667

all props go to the original author of course :) any comments would be appreciated!

thanks for this mod! looking forward to the update :)

update???

can we still play multiplayer no problem with this mod?

I have updated it, several times. Doesnt work, or let say, doesnt appear as updated.

Okay thank you for replying to me so quickly

@pluto: you have to chose one of them, the silver shields or the blue shields.

Do I delete the first mod or keep them both?

update

Crashing when starting up the game using this mod. I hope you find a fix soon i LOVE this mod!!

It does say that your mod is out of date no matter what you try undo with the "Enable out of date mods". I find it really strange cause i keep crashing for no reason, the mod does give the "out of date" icon.
I do hope you find a way to break this! I would love to have these shields/model for my dwarfs! :D

great work man!

I'm still looking for a solution to make the mod appear as "updated". It is, so it should work, at least if you check the "use outdated mods" option in the mod selection screen of the launcher.

odd: I've update/uploaded it several times. I'll have a look at it later today

Me Too

Me Too :(

Same here, still out of date.

It still says out of date for me? :(

updated :)

Please update.

Outta date.

Why I have nothing changing on my game

Updated and tested for the new patch

@Fhayron: salut et merci :) non, c'est l'un ou l'autre. Mais ce sont techniquement les memes, tu choisis juste si tu preferes le blanc ou le bleu :P

Merci beaucoup le Gaulois, j'utilise cette version pour information :)

@brother: it's this one, or the other, you have to chose which one you like the most :)

Is this compatible w/ your previous mod as it's "Sister Mod" or can you only use one or the other?

GG ;) <3

Merci thibier. C'est fort simple: j'ai regardé en bataille aléatoire toutes les unités, tous les héros et tous les géneraux. J'au vu que des boucliers particuliers sont parfois (aléatoirement) attribués aux héros et géneraux. Je suis allés dans le fichier variantmesh qui les defini pour voir les entrées de motifs, j'ai copier ces entrées et recollées dans les deux fichiers qui definissent les boucliers standards et élites (j'ai du en garder 5 seulement sur 8 car 5 est malheureusement le maximum, les plus jolis ;) ) et voilà. Simple comme bonjour. Content que le mod te plaise :)

Bien joué l'auteur. Par contre j'aimerais savoir comment tu as su qu'il y avait d'autres motifs. T'as fouillé au hasard dans les "variantmeshes" ? Tu as un autre logiciel que pack file manager pour avoir fait ça ? Il n'y a que quelques lignes de modifier mais sans un autre logiciel ça me parait impossible à mettre en place, non ?

can you change the spiders to something else like a guerilla? that would be cool btw great stuff you did on the dwarves i love hoe detailed the armour is now than before makes them standout in the mist of battle! keep up the great work!! :D

I guess you're right, it's the way I understand it also. We can change colors, but we technically cant "add" new colors, if a model has let say 2 colors A and B, we can do whatever we want with these two, but adding a C color is impossible.

@Gauloisier de la Gauloiserie What I am guessing at is that it depends on what colors are used on the model already. So if the texture you are working with only has two colors already, then a tertiary one isn't coded into that model and you are out of luck. Tertiary just seems to be a third color option for more complex patterns. This was different in R2 and Attila but I guess its more restrictive in Warhammer now. At least, this is from my experience in Warhammer.

@Reverebd: you can chose three colors. Primary, secondary, and tertiary. Primary have a effect on shields, some uniforms, and overall "army/faction" color. Secondary is used in stripes on uniforms, some details of armors, and of course the drawing color of symbols on shields. As for tertiary I'm not 100% sure, but it seems that it has no effect for most units, and it was already the case in Attila and Rome2.
My best advice is to test them, play with them and see if you manage to do something to your test. The colors are defined by three values from 0 to 255, as standard RGB colors. Hope it helps

What exactly does recoloring something entail? There are some changes to other units that I want to make, but I'm not positive how to do it.

Thanks

@Old Gregg: all dwarf factions using the same units :)

Hey, great mod, love the shield designs, but i wanted to ask, does this affect only the Playable dwarf faction, or all dwarf factons?

I only want to know which one you choose when you play the game ,I or II?

Aesthetically beautiful compromise mate, thank you so much!

no no, they are simply clone copies of each others :) I meant "sister-mod" and I had in mind "sister-ship": they look the same, but are real individuals.
In our case, you have to chose: Silver and Gold I or II :)

What do you mean by sister mod ? are both mods compatible ?

Oh it should exist, somewhere. I'm not very good at creating 100% new textures as I dont have to tools to edit their format, but someone will at some point release such patterns, it's just a matter of time.

Hey Gaulosier. Do you know if there is any shield pattern with a beer or mug on it? Thinking of putting JOseph Bugman and hisrangers into the game:) but would need the beer pattern for the shield obviously. Hopefully CA will get a move on with some cheap DLC!

Use both Dread! One day with the silver shields, the day after with the blue ones, and so on :D

Thank you for that alternative version of your original mod! Now i don't know which one to choose..lol!

@HardCorePaul: no you have to chose one, if you have both at the same time, the 2nd installed will simply overwrite the effect of the 1st one xD
And the only difference between the two is the color of the shield, for all the rest, it's a carbon copy.

Hi, will this work in conjunction with your Gold and Silver mod? Meaning, if I install both will I see the benefits of both mods in a single unit of dwarfs? Thanks, and good work so far too.
