Hi, please add me as a friend, I want to ask a question. It won't take long, then I will remove myself from friends if you want. Really need your help (advice). Thank you. :flora:

Thanks Ragnar - fixed ;)

Too long ago, man. I don't know it anymore.

Hello! I want to make the same but for my own campaing and im not able to find any tutorial... could you please help me??? :steamhappy:
Skidvar  [author] 3 Mar, 2020 @ 11:58pm 
I see only 30 in the files, but can be wrong. Don't forget faction leader (_fl). In the agent uniforms and variant files 30n stands for northern factions, 30x for all others. In the art sets 30c for celtic, 30e for eastern, 30w for western, 30n for northern barbarians.
So if I made a distinction between 30n and 30x then there should be some difference in the northern variants compared to the rest. But if you want to make a new set that's the same for all barbarians, just call it 30x if you wish to call it similarly although you could call it just 30 or whatever you wish, as long as you link the variants and images correctly with the .bin, .xml, and data files.

Too long ago for me, man. It's 2 years. There are the 3d files which you start with and make 2d pics of. One mistake there and they pose like christ. The naming doesn't matter. Just have to link the images right to the db files and then there is the one mega file with all the illustration info that was hell to clean. Can't remember the names.

@Skidvar There's 31 barbarian variants, so if i were to make more would i just name my new one 32.
So it would be like: att_general_barbarian_32a_pol, att_general_barbarian_32a_lv2 & att_general_barbarian_32a.

Than I add the variant names to variant_tables under GAR_barb_x.variants.
Would that all be correct or is it a bit more complicated ?
I'm kinda not really sure what the different GAR_barb_n and GAR_barb_x.
Sorry for all the questions, i'm just trying to further my modding skills as most videos out there aren't based specifically on this.
๖ۜGaiNo 28 Feb, 2020 @ 6:19pm 
Is there a difference from lv1 and lv2 variants ? I guessed they both are just meant to be the same.
๖ۜGaiNo 28 Feb, 2020 @ 6:10pm 
No doubt a lot of work. I've spent the last couple days changing the nordic & barbarians alone.
Fair enough im not the most skilled modder or fastest.
Either way great job on this mod. Thanks for putting your time into modding
Skidvar  [author] 28 Feb, 2020 @ 1:06am 
No limit. Just a loooot of work!
๖ۜGaiNo 27 Feb, 2020 @ 4:23pm 
Or is there a limit within the game that you have already reached ?
๖ۜGaiNo 27 Feb, 2020 @ 4:22pm 
@Skidvar Is it possible to add more variants ? You know to raise the chances of someone different looking ? Not the unit/general art but the models themselves, like pol, lvl1 & lvl2 . I would edit the file myself and of course its just for personal use. :)
Skidvar  [author] 2 Oct, 2019 @ 3:02am 
Yeah, not for AOC... Forgot to mention in the description.
The Last Monke 2 Oct, 2019 @ 12:20am 
Unfortunately it doesn't work properly with AOC but oh well. Still a great mod.
Skidvar  [author] 16 Sep, 2019 @ 3:49am 
Not sure what happened to the mod description. It seems most of it has been cut away. Not sure what it used to say anymore. Been a while. I know I added several generals per culture apart from overhauling them and fixing several bugs.
Skidvar  [author] 16 Sep, 2019 @ 3:41am 
It fixes a lot of stuff including generals without legs.
The Last Monke 15 Sep, 2019 @ 10:27pm 
I really appreciate this mod. It fixes the Gepid leader so he doesn't look like an alien.
PANJABI RAMBO 30 Aug, 2019 @ 8:40am 
okey very nice broter
Skidvar  [author] 30 Aug, 2019 @ 2:10am 
Look in the pictures... It s a general overhaul (2D & 3D appearance). It also adds several new ones.
PANJABI RAMBO 29 Aug, 2019 @ 3:47pm 
what this is ?
Skidvar  [author] 25 Feb, 2019 @ 7:24am 
Eastern & western Roman generals have the same general models in their pool. Of course, starting generals look the same in every game.
Sv@rog 25 Feb, 2019 @ 3:49am 
First of all i wanna say THANK YOU for your great Job! This mod make Attila interesting again :))
And secondly i got a question: Is it a Bug that the WRE and ERE generals are reversed? I mean The WRE got the Generals of the Last Roman of Byzantine Empire and the ERE Generals got the Western Generals with Wolfskin on their bag?
PS: Sry for my bad english
Alessar 🐺🦄🦅 21 Feb, 2019 @ 3:26pm 
It is not compatible with FOT or EP , bad luck....
Skidvar  [author] 27 Dec, 2018 @ 6:20am 
Not sure if he made special faction leaders, better try it out. It won't hurt (your savegame) in any way if you try. Let me know the results...
jrtheyounger 26 Dec, 2018 @ 8:44pm 
possible for this mod to be compatible with Imperium?
Cameron2408 7 Jan, 2018 @ 10:46pm 
ahh ok no problem thanks anyway
Skidvar  [author] 7 Jan, 2018 @ 8:05am 
@ Populares: that has nothing to do with this mod and it is not possible as far as I know.

@ Cameron: .No, for the simple reason that I also added new generals... This mod was a crazy shitload of work, so... not going to change that aspect.
Cameron2408 6 Jan, 2018 @ 9:49pm 
any chance it can just reskin generals but not affect faction leaders ?
PopularesTEUTO 3 Jan, 2018 @ 4:42pm 
its possible make a mood that give to every foot generals the square formation? I think it would be nice to see your guards die for your general to the end, and maybe more good than took ypur general in first line in every figth. Thanks
Skidvar  [author] 11 Dec, 2017 @ 12:09am 
Probably some of the big overhaul mods like Magnar's Vae Victis & DEI have more names, but not sure.
xanthippos 11 Dec, 2017 @ 12:03am 
alright
Skidvar  [author] 11 Dec, 2017 @ 12:02am 
No, never looked for it.
xanthippos 11 Dec, 2017 @ 12:01am 
do you know of any mod that does?
Skidvar  [author] 10 Dec, 2017 @ 9:55am 
No names.
xanthippos 10 Dec, 2017 @ 7:14am 
does this mod add more general names?
Generalissimus Leon 8 Nov, 2017 @ 6:49am 
Thx, epic mod by the way. :Crowned:
Skidvar  [author] 2 Nov, 2017 @ 10:56am 
Yes, those are the 3D models (same as the ones on the campaign map and depicted the 2D portraits).
Generalissimus Leon 2 Nov, 2017 @ 9:08am 
Does this mod also affect the generals models on the battlefield?
Xeryx 6 Sep, 2017 @ 1:21pm

I am happy that you like the mods. As it generally goes with mods, you are always welcome to use them, some references & links would be appreciated. I am interested to learn more about your mod as well, so I will send a friend request.
Xeryx 1 Sep, 2017 @ 5:34am 
Skidvar, I want to thank you personally for all the hard work and wonderful mods you have made. I have come out of retirement to work on AI for this game. I have made significant progress ! especially, in diplomacy , battle AI and campaign AI. I would like you to team up with me. If you can't I would like permission to use your mods when I release in a month or so.
PANJABI RAMBO 23 Jul, 2017 @ 3:27pm 
Ahhh I see all good :), this mod is amazing, actually gives a nice change and makes the generals look interesting !
Skidvar  [author] 23 Jul, 2017 @ 2:04pm 
It's only for the grand campaign (mentioned in description). Just untick it in the launcher or mod manager if you want to play another campaign. I had to take the data from other campaigns out of this mod in order to keep it under 200 MB, which is the limit for steam files.
PANJABI RAMBO 22 Jul, 2017 @ 6:18am 
You asking me or saying it isn't ? as I know it isn't but I assumed it wouldn't cause AoC to be changed
Super Mean Agent 21 Jul, 2017 @ 8:02pm 
This mod is not compatible for AOC?
PANJABI RAMBO 21 Jul, 2017 @ 3:50pm 
Yes it bugged AoC my Avar generals are full arabic, using the crescent shields etc - please fix this to not affect AoC, or possibly make a version for AoC (for main campaign its good)
PANJABI RAMBO 21 Jul, 2017 @ 3:48pm 
Is it ment to change AoC ? as a lot of my Lombard warriors are using Centurion mail, and they should be using normal mail or lamellar - thanks !
