Thanks chief.
 

One more if you will. How do I change the separate text (quotes) that appear on the splash screen?

If you mean the loading screen. Such as Loading Textures to Sharpening Swords. That is possible. in the languages folder then the en(glish) folder you can edit the ui, uimain excel spreadsheets of text.

The best way to do it is Blender. It's free.

Also you will need the Blender SMD plugin - https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Blender_Source_Tools

And there are some tutorials like this or this

I started downloading some stuff from this tutorial: http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,125282.0.html and I seem to have downloaded some skeletons, any idea where do I put them?

[BNS Marko]

It would be the best if you just exported a skeleton from skeletons.brf, or exported an animation, then imported it into Blender and messed around with it.
What kind of an animation do you want to create?

I was thinking about right-swing animation but I'm new to this.

EDIT: Or a death animation, just one thats more easier.

I'm no modeler/texture-er but isn't something to do with transparency on the bump or spec maps?

NOPE, close. In the dds there are layers, rgb and alpha layers. You need to edit the alpha layer in photoshop and then save. Thats how you get the transperancy.

[usnavy30]

Ah yes, layers

I do not get it. So do it take what I edited in the RGB layer and cut/paste it into the Alpha layer?

how do i creat mod

how do i creat mod

You download the source code module system

NW MS
www.fsegames.eu/mb_warband_napoleonic_wars_source_1104.zip

You make a fresh copy of Napoleonic Wars mod folder

You edit the copy little by little with hands on learning and studying

You turn what was a copy of NW into a total conversion mod

You always seek to learn more and to ask questions along the way

You prepare to spend countless hours juggling real life (i.e. school) and modding sessions together

You put forth dedication, loyalty, passion to create a modification.

You only need to look at War of 1812's main thread to know the above is true.


Were you expecting a non-serious answer? Well just for kicks:

Ah yes, I forgot the edited dds file is already saved without an alpha, grab the original dds file and copy paste the rgb and edit the alpha in the original dds and save it as a modified file, sorry for the late response, been quite busy.

How can i make my server accept the changes that are made on the mod and not kick me.

[DanyEle]

When applying client-side changes, you need to upload the mod itself to your server too.
