how do i put the shield in the tower guards like bfme1???
Thanks in advance

[Annullus The Grey]

is there any commented out code in the tower guards.ini file that has references to armor

[Ridder Geel]

Uh Shields have to do with models
I will look for the model and post here again

[Annullus The Grey]

though they can be disabled through code

[TroDuS]

There are 2 Towerguard Models in Bfme2:

gutowergrd_skl.w3d / gutowergrd_skn.w3d -> BfME1 Model with a Shield

gutwrgrd_skl.w3d / gutwrgrd_skn.w3d -> BfME 2 Model without a Shield

[Elvenlord]

You would have to change the model and all the animations. Somewhat time consuming, but not that bad. I did, but that was awhile back, I don't remember how long it took me.

[Fingulfin]

Time consuming? Simple Copy-Paste was all it took for me xD

[Ridder Geel]

I was about to say that...
Well you will need to change the codes and the animations...
