wow! exelent. Now you only need the units with their skins, sounds, map, and building? You know, it doesn't look so bad if you do one thing at a time....We will be over by feb.

I am working on the names now. Trying to get the long tedious stuff out of the way. Unfortunately, Fili keeps emailing them to me and I keep losing them.

Yeah, I saw that. I just coded in the Mayan names. BUt good god the Aztec names are freakin long. Will the engine even show those? Also, we will need Mixtec_Toltec & Tlaxcalan names to make this mod work. As well as random rebel faction names. If you can post them in the Factions section, then post a link here that would be great.

For the Tlaxcala just use Aztec names, and for the rebels and Mixtec use Mayan.

That's all good, but I still wonder if the Aztec names aren't too long.
I had hoped to get an early start on coding in the units but I went out and stayed up waaaaay too late last night and didn't get started till after 11am and I have to leave my place at 12:15pm for something.
But I created a new model_unit folder and have begun saving the skins out as DDS files. I'll probably get that complete today and then have to begin the actual coding at some other point. But I'll let you know.
Also. Can someone who is 2D design talented go into the folder (after they unpack it of course) Data/packs/DATA/UI/CURSORS and change the spear and the sword icons to reflect more of a ancient americas look.
Thanks guys.

Edit: the aztec names are not that long. THe thing is that there are 3 names per row I don't have rome, but if you post the things here i'll change em.

Oh, so the names aren't that long then? OK, I'll code em in and make make three separate names from each row.
I've begun coding in all the units. I have created a new models folder that I am pointing the unit info to and I have tested two of them in the game already and it seems I am doing a good job making export_descr_unit and descr_model_battle entries for the models and the skins.
I think I figured out a way to take screen shots and I will post them as I get em.
Its going to take me a while to code in all the models since I also have to figure out which model to use for them and such. I will leave all the rest of the unit calculating stuff to Vuk when I am complete. I'll probably be able to only do a few each eve. So, we'll see how long it takes.
As the skins are complete get me images for unit cards.
Also, I need the unit descriptions for all the Mezo-models. I haven't checked the mod email yet, so they may be there. But if they're not I will need them eventually.

They are working me like a draft horse on a liquor run in Ireland at the moment so I haven't had a chance to code anything more than two test units into the game. Once Monday comes I'll focus more on this. Where do we stand concerning the skins? Does anyone know how many have been completed? As I said, I am coding in all the unskinned files and will simply replace the file in the TEXTURE folder as I get them. I do feel we are moving along well enough to begin our promotional campaign. Please do not post anything concerning the Flower Wars on the TWC or any other site until we have completed are promotional materials. Until then, talk of the work being done, but nothing too specifc. Check it out.
