wackyserious Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 @Sundiata How about these? I created an actor file that uses in-game textures, would these do? @stanislas69 Should I add this to the mod? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool, but please, I beg you, remove the zebra hides (black and white shields). If you want something exotic, giraffe-hide is actually ok. Giraffes lived in Kush, and were hunted and exported. They sometimes wore the fur, like leopard pelt. Also, attach it to the shoulders please  (both hands free to hold the pike when attacking) Here are giraffe hide textures for round shields (public domain: http://www.publicdomainpictures.net/view-image.php?image=39132&picture=giraffe & http://www.publicdomainpictures.net/view-image.php?image=231351&picture=giraffe-skin) Edited January 21, 2018 by Sundiata Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure about this (whatever you think is best). So you're removing the zebra texture? No zebras in Kush... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to make sure we are on the same page, we are not talking about the shoulder shields, but the ones @wackyserious displayed above right ?

Yes, sounds good! Just now, stanislas69 said: Just to make sure we are on the same page, we are not talking about the shoulder shields, but the ones @wackyserious displayed above right ? I thought those shields were the shoulder shields, just not attached to the shoulder? All pikemen should have their shields attached to the shoulder, even the elite rank Egyptian style cow-hide shields should be attached to the shoulder... I think it would be best if all of the small round shoulder shields would use the giraffe texture or cow hide texture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundiata Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 @stanislas69 & @wackyserious Here's some giraffe textures for the Egyptian style shields for the top tier pikeman. I'm thinking we can mix the cow hide and giraffe hide variants. Maybe the top tier pikeman could use an Egyptian style shield without shield-boss. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wackyserious Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 @stanislas69 Those were supposed to be the shoulder shields, I will not be uploading it, a new shoulder shield should be made. Would this cause a problem regarding prop points? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wackyserious Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 I can upload it, if you want it as a placeholder. I will just mark the actor file as a placeholder by adding a suffix _placeholder to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New unit meshes have armpad prop points, so I guess we can rely on that and see how it goes. 1 hour ago, Sundiata said: @stanislas69 & @wackyserious Here's some giraffe textures for the Egyptian style shields for the top tier pikeman.

Sundiata Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 @wackyserious Simple necklaces, more variants (I personally like the 1st and last ones):   Cow hide shields with thureos mesh will be for Nubian spearman (Kush_infantry_spearman), the most basic citizen soldier. They keep the same type of shield throughout all 3 tiers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wackyserious Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 @stanislas69 can you tell me the name of the armpad attach point? I tried to attach it to shoulderpad_L and it is not compatible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundiata Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 @stanislas69, on second thought, looking at the size of the original Egyptian cow hide shields, maybe a slightly smaller version is indeed desirable for the pikeman...

wackyserious Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 @Sundiata Would this work for the elite Meroitic pike infantry. Extending the loincloth downward is a bit complicated since it can cause texture seams. But I will try to experiment with it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundiata Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 @wackyserious, yeah, the attire looks great! Longer loincloth/garment/robe would be nice, but I'm not going to loose any sleep over it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
