Introduction:
Pike & Shot is a game that set in my favorite historical era, but it always annoys me that the unit graphics are too rough and you can only see a block (which represent pikes) on infantry units.
But now, with the Blender files Richard sent to me a couple months ago, the level of graphic modding is in a new level, I can not only edit textures and can also edit the 3D models themselves. My plan is to completely rework the unit models (at least the infantry ones) in P&S, to make actual weapons (no matter muskets, swords, halberds, bills, two-handed swords, shields, etc.) visible on the in game models. And make the models match the weapons of the according unit.
I will try to finish my plan step by step. This first release version (ver. 0.1) includes 11 new 3D models(most of them are Italian Wars era units) and a couple of new textures, I also made 3 new 2D UI icons for some units.
Feel free to discuss under this thread if you have requests or suggestions (I can't promise I will take them all though).
Also suggest to use Adebar's Improved Zoom mod (viewtopic.php?t=53256) to look closer to the models.
Install Guide:
1. extract the RAR file, place Battle folder and UI folder into your Pike & Shot Campaigns\Data folder.
2*. [OPTIONAL] place Squads.csv into your Pike & Shot Campaigns\Data folder and replace the existed one. I suggest to backup the original file first.
* If you don't do step 2, some of the new 3D models and all of the new 2D icons will not be availble in your game, but the mod will be fully MP compatible.
On the other hand, if you do step 2, all new graphics will be availble in your game. But in MP, if one player has the mod, and the other doesn't, the players would see the "scripts don't match" message every turn. Of course as long as they trust each other and the discrepancy is explained it won't stop the match.
