These are the textures which I submitted to wowgetoffyourcellphone several months ago for DE. I'm sometimes loosing details in the texture when I use the transparency for player color.

What I'm concerned with, regarding harmonious hues is how will I incorporate player color in it? I'm thinking of having a similar design to the current gaul_adv_spearman textures, with the top short sleeved tunic set to a plaid and the long sleeved under shirt set into player color.

I was looking at Hallstatt Period examples, I'll see what I can do with plaid patterns. If I cannot come up with a good one, I'll try to look for creative license compatible plaid patterns online.

Lol. Haha. Some of the references that I saw indicated checkered patterns among the celts. Some of the patterns that I have come up with also looked too Persian, IMHO.

What I have at the moment.

Congratulations, @LordGood ! For a second I thought, Enrique resigned from the project. I'm glad my assumptions were wrong.

A baseline for the enhancement of the Celtic unit textures in the game Work in progress Please post useful references about clothing and military equipment here.

So I will just post everything that I have modified and added in a zip?

So how do I start? I'm clueless, do I have to submit it first to the other team members and let them review it? Or is there a way for me to implements the changes that I've done by myself?

Here's the silly texture of the one above, had to reduce the size of the upper part to 256x256 just to match the ones below (resulted in mismatching of the quality and detail)

The one in the middle uses skeletal/new/m_armor_pants_tunic_short.dae while the other two uses the tunic_long variant There is a difficulty in adjusting the texture of the upper part of the pants (mapped in black) just to match the ones below it (mapped in orange) What if we create a modded version of the mesh? With a UV that fits together the upper part and the lower part in the area marked in orange. The rest of the UV will remain as it is. For the compatibility of reusing assets from other/pre-existing skeletal textures The area marked in black will be left blank with no UV mapped on it. Since the previous UV mapped on it is already inserted in the orange part. Thoughts on this one? Edit: Ah, there will be problems with the topless Celtic units, their pants extends up to 1/3 of the blue area :/

Some updates. I've been messing around with the North African elephant textures.

I'll see what I can do this weekend

I should change it then, I saw the zebra hides in the vanilla game textures and thought that they were appropriate, since they are grouped with the cow hide texture.

File path for the curved thureos props/shield/ptol_thureos_curved.dae

Transferred the new textures to the thureos mesh.

I found some cow and zebra hide (The ones below) in the base game texture folder (it uses the Thureos mesh) Here is a comparison of the basic oval shield mesh vs. the thureos mesh (Bottom w/ texture already part of the base game) There are two variations of the thureos mesh in the game, one that is slightly curved and one that is not. I am wondering if we could use the slightly curved thureos mesh for the kushites?

@wowgetoffyourcellphone Where do I change the default terrain for Atlas? DE's default is set to fancy grass which my other computer cannot handle very well.

Oval, like this one?

These are the Nubian shields from Aristeia mod Is the shape fine, or does it need to be more rounder? Maybe like the Gallic oval shield used by the Thracians units?

I'd say not even close Lordgood is an excellent artist in all aspects. I just enjoy making unit textures.
