===[COMMITTED]=== Horse Update

[Lion.Kanzen]

[Alexandermb]

Recently i've made a small test in the UnitAi file which changed how the unit run into a fight and submitted the dif to some web page i forgot the name,. In August i've tested the same code with small changes about distance, before the unit just run's even if the unit was very far away when the order for attack was given, but specifying limits of distance (Minimum distance for start running, run, maximum distance for start running) the unit walked if it was outside the minimum range, and if it was in the range they charge (Every unit) assuming the changes works like planned making the units run into battle (Like Total War series when the cavalry/infantry reach their target they charge) that would need some gameplay balancing over the cavalry?

[Alexandermb]

Changes:

• Fixed attack times
• Changed relax 2 handed spear animation
• Cavalry spearman recharge time in template files changed from (3500) to (1400) for fast attack animation
• Cavalry swordsman recharge time in template files changed from (750) to (1050) for fast attack animation
• Added the small shield variant

In case you haven't noticed i've made am update of the cavalry (including actors) feel free to use it on your mod, it will be useful to have people testing and see if anyone can see bugs or frames i haven't noticed yet in the animations beside ideas while i'm still working on it. Feel free to make any comment and suggestions for animations. 

Thanks for the notification. I've just downloaded your mod and started trying it out. One thing I noticed is the Seleucid scythed chariot:

The old visual actor is left, right is your new one. As you can see there is a gap between the horse and its armour.

The seleucid have one the chariot file in their units folder i thought they have their own chariot without using persian faction influence because of that file

[Stan`]

The seleucid chariot was accepted but not committed. It's available somewhere on the fourms

[serveurix]

This seleucid chariot should have the seleucid emblem at the same place the persian emblem is on the other one. I also think the saddle texture should be modified to suggest there is a wooden curved bar that goes above the backs of the horses. Now it looks like all horses bodies have been pierced by that giant scythe.

[Alexandermb]

They have been pierced by the giant scythe they would need a chariot re-mesh same as the trader horses, or for an easier work, made a curved harness to add above the saddle and keep it stationary. the size difference between the old horses and this one is noticeable that why it looks pierced.

Update**
Horse_new.7z

• Fixed the separation between armor and horse

This could be a way of make the heavy armored horses with just textures, just have to make a little uv's adjustments and done.

At last an armored horse.

[Nescio]

And an error:

ERROR: Failed to find matching prop point called "weapon_R" in model "art/meshes/props/cape_cavalry_medium.dae" for actor "cape_cav_animated_javelinist"

By the way, I like that last image. Would it be possible to make cataphracts real cataphracts (completely covered in armour), instead of merely having a minor mail at the horse breast?

[Alexandermb]

it seems to be it can be possible, and that bug it's weird because i wrote the cape's and meshes just like the actual javelinist infantry

This is how it looks ingame with the iberian cavalry texture.

[Lion.Kanzen]

Uuuuuuuh cuteee

[Lion.Kanzen]

Must be more... bigger? with this size the horse can't  handle with armor and rider.

Seleucid cataphracts would have looked almost exactly like this:

Can you try fixing the elephant drivers?  That would be something that could get committed quickly.

What's exactly needed for the elephants? i mean which pose
(Walk, idle, death)

All of them. The current elephant drivers only use the old unit meshes.
