[NW][M] Napoleon In Egypt [Cancelled]

I've made the normalmap.

Do I just make it a material in OpenBRF?

[Hinkel]

A new material for each uniform part of a unit.

[The Mighty McLovin]

But a uniform can only have one material?

A jacket has 1 material (with diffuse, normal, spec map) .. same for a single hat, a trouser and so on
Why should that be a problem?

[The Mighty McLovin]

But I changed the material of the tunic and the texture was just the normalmap. It wasn't blue anymore.

[Hinkel]

You are doing it all wrong then.. 

[Mercuri]

Okay, that is simple, each object in the brf can have assigned one material, the material has the texture, the normalmap and the spec map. The materials are in mmmaterials.brf and the textures in mmtextures.brf
You can create a new material or edit the current but if you are using the same material for differents objects, and the objects need to use different textures, the objects need to get different meterials too.
But you must know that if you create a lot of new materials or textures, the game will run lower than the vanilla version or a version with less materials (the best way is remove all the materials that are not being in use when you finish the uniforms). That is why fr_grenadier and other objects have the same normalmap and specmap.

Sorry if I didn't explained it well, but I can't do it better.

Thanks for the explanation. Seems pretty simple. Sorry for the break aswell.

I have been working on the French Grenadiers. You can work out what the rest are.

You should really browse this board and read all about Warband modding, it'll make the whole process a lot smoother: http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/board,64.0.html

Yes, I go there quite often.

[The Mighty McLovin]

More like the guys in the background. Also The Kleber Hat (The Black Helmet) was used by the french, although their was still the majority who wore the bicorne instead.

Since I can't have a unit with two different hats, I'll be having another unit with the Kleber Hat.

So this is mostly a skin-replacement mod?
Cause you can assign 3-10 hats to a unit every time..

[The Mighty McLovin]

Well, I am new to modding Napoleonic Wars.

I thought you couldn't have multiple hats on one single unit without the game crashing when you enter a server?

Huh? What do you mean?
You can assign as many hats you want in the code for the troops.. like here, an example of a NaS unit.
