Texturing question:

Im using Paint.net, and I'm trying to change the blue on the French 45e to White using the Hue/Saturation tool.
However, it doesn't look good whatsoever, any re-skinners out there, can you help me? thank you.

I do white using grayscale, then white on the layer above,after that i play with transparency level.

[Dazzer]

I dont think anybody can help me with this, but as soon as I press Multiplayer, the whole game crashes. What could cause it?
EDIT: Nevermind, I think what caused it. I moved the whole Steam from disk C to disk D and forgot to change the mod path
EDIT 2: Nope, it didnt fix anything. Looks like im screwed
Also what is interesting is that when I turn music on it plays the original M&B Warband main menu music. But I changed it

[Parrot]

usually this is because the character uniform is missing meshes or textures

[Dazzer]

I fixed it now. I just use wrong module system

[Dazzer]

Hi all. Just a quick question. Can I increase the volume of battlecries? Or do I have to, lets say, put them all into Audacity and change it manually?
EDIT: Got another problem... some "french" units yell only Come here, yer bastards, then some russian battlecries.
Here is script for french battlecries

Code

(else_try),
			  (is_between,":agent_troop_id","trp_french_infantry","trp_prussian_infantry"),
              (assign, ":sound_id", "snd_voice_cry_fren"),
              (val_add,":sound_id",":fac_index"), 

I dont know why some of them yell only in russian if there isnt even a script for russians.
British troops work fine, Im using the same script for them
Gosh for some reason im now having the same problem with the british. I really dont understand whats wrong. Some of them dont even say anything

[Parrot]

can you post all of the battle cry assignment code? and perhaps the sound tuples as well. it'll be easier to see what's wrong with them with more than just three lines of code

[Dazzer]

can you post all of the battle cry assignment code?

you mean this?

Code

        (try_begin),

these names don't make a difference to anything other than the string that's shown in the in-game unit menu. the tag that impacts the scripts is trp_british_hussar.

Is there any option in open brf to copy rigging and paste it into other model(s)?

Yeah. Edit tab: select Copy or Copy complete on the model for reference rigging you want. Edit tab: select Paste rigging option on the model you need rigged.
