Hey ! Thanks for your attention and sorry for my incompetence x)

 

So here's my problem: I want to make special units, you can recruit, with all the characteristics of Galadriel. I would like to take her animations, model, but change her texture.

 

By searching in her .ini file, I realized there was no texture command.

 

I'm wanting to make 3 type of different galadriel units, with 3 different textures, but how do I do ? :( I already tried many things like putting random textures command but it's still not working... ;((

[Ridder Geel]

What does the code you use look like?

Did you also make a new asset.dat for those new textures?

[CobrasShadows]

Okay so here's the code:

Object VeniseTest

	; *** ART Parameters ***

	SelectPortrait = HPGaladriel
	ButtonImage = HIGaladriel

	Draw = W3DScriptedModelDraw ModuleTag_DRAW

   StaticModelLODMode = yes ; Will append M or L to the skin name depending on GameLOD

	  OkToChangeModelColor = Yes

		WadingParticleSys = WaterRipplesTrail  ; used when the unit is wading in shallow water.
		
		RandomTexture = eugaladrl.tga 0 eugaladrl.tga   <<<<<<<<< THIS IS THE TEXTURE

		DefaultModelConditionState
			Model               = EUGaldrlGd_SKN
		End
		
		ModelConditionState = USER_1
			Model               = EUGaldrl_SKN
		End
		

And yes I made a new asset.dat I'm not stupid ^^ So yeahhh I guess that's because I did not put the load options or something... The problem is when I put them it makes an error x)

[Ridder Geel]

Why are you changing the texture to the same one?

I'm not entirely sure that replacing textures with the same name always works (I've encountered problems with it before). See what happens if you use a different texture name

And what's the error?

[CobrasShadows]

I'm only changing the texture, I didn't change the name because that was just to try ^^ And when I put Lod options it gives this: http://sta.sh/01605tbkntv9

[Ridder Geel]

Well that might have to do with where you placed that LOD stuff.

Also what is the error with the exact code you have up there?

Otherwise just post the whole ini file (and the error)

[CobrasShadows]

Okay so I posted the error already and here's the entire .ini file. Hope you like reading !

See if it helps by changing the module type to W3DHordeModelDraw

[CobrasShadows]

I tried... Nope still not working... Except this time I obtain a weird black cool animated Galadriel ^.^

[Ridder Geel]

Well the LOD stuff does not appear in the other module, and since this unit is not a horde member, I advise keeping the old module, and leave out the LOD stuff, which doesn't work there anyways (if i'm not mistaken)

[CobrasShadows]

Okay so I got it out and now what do I do ? How do I put another texture ? ^.^

[Ridder Geel]

Change that random texture code of yours

And you would need an asset.dat if you add a new texture

[CobrasShadows]

And I replace it with what ? XP And I made a new asset.DAT !

[Ridder Geel]

Well if im not mistaken it was:

RandomTexture = new.tga 0 old.tga

[CobrasShadows]

Basically that's what I did and it's still not working -o- I know I'm just annoying but is there a command (like Texture = name.tga) to have multiple hero textures with only one model ?

[Ridder Geel]

RandomTexture = new.tga 0 old.tga

 

Should work, and then multiple lines for the different textures...

That's what EA used for the rohirrim, and I myself have used on several occasions.

And otherwise use code similar to the texture upgrade used when units get heavy armor, and give it an upgrade the hero starts with... Shouldn't be too hard.

[CobrasShadows]

For me it is x) Do I need to put Lod options before ?

[Ridder Geel]

You don't need the LOD Options
