it be easyer for ya to youtube rome than for me to explain it and the reason magi only soot fire balls (or ice balls of death balls) is cus there no way to make a spell selection like in lom i may just cut out mages altogether

[QUAAL]

so is this a mod like Mantera's Mod?

[gunther]

sorta.… it would use modswitch it is a command line switch that tells the game to look in an extra folder for files to use It uses whatever it finds there in preference to what exists in the main game folders This allows the modder to replace original game files with modded ones without actually removing the originals So a person can play a mod and the original game with the same installation of Rome Total War

If anyone has played the game King Arthur: The RolePlaying Wargame, it might be easier to mod as there are spells are are similar.

[Boaster]

Looking good. Is that a female elf?

[skidi]

yes shes female if id get the darn game to recognize model id show you in game pic

[Boaster]

Did you make that from scratch?

[skidi]

not completely mesh was recycled but the texture was made by me

[skidi]

i may have to borrow a bunch of female meshes from a friends mod females take to lonk theres only like 3 in the game to go of and im no modeler men will be done so much faster tho ill keep you updated
and any personal suggestions youd want to see rite away just post

[gunther]

Hi

I got a question that should be asked first. On witch Total War are you going to make the mod?
I played Rome for quite a long time and a mod called Fourt Age: Total War. And, I must say, thats a big piece of really good work done.
If your mod is gonna be also that good, people from this forum will go crazy about it.

Suggestions? Yaa, mages are the thing that makes modding hard, am I right? You could eventually make them as monks or druids were in Rome, only chanting and inspiring units.
Or... you can have mongonels with fiery ammo replaced
It's just an weak example, we should think more about it

[gunther]

i was planin on makeing everything first and mages last mages will take work plus its on stand still until i get a new modeler a texterer i only know the codeing so.…
