Tutorial to change CK units into EU2 units
These actions work with Adobe Photoshop and converts the CK unit into a EU2 unit.
1) Find the unit you want to convert.
2) First find the bmp files they are located in GFX\Map\Units\bmp.
3) I'll show how to do this with Celtic unit but this works with any other unit. So if you got turkish unit then it's called C-turkish instead.
Find the bmps called :
T-ARMY C-celtic A-FIRE v-4 D-N
T-ARMY C-celtic A-FIRE v-4 D-S
T-ARMY C-celtic A-IDLE v-1
T-ARMY C-celtic A-WALK D-E
T-ARMY C-celtic A-WALK D-N
T-ARMY C-celtic A-WALK D-NE
T-ARMY C-celtic A-WALK D-NW
T-ARMY C-celtic A-WALK D-S
T-ARMY C-celtic A-WALK D-SE
T-ARMY C-celtic A-WALK D-SW
T-ARMY C-celtic A-WALK D-W
4) ATTENTOIN, make sure that all the files are not writing defended.
5) Now copy them to your desktop, open them all with Photoshop and run the right actions on them the actions are named IDLE, WALK, and FIRE(There's also a number * a number that shows the size of the image but if you just copy the right files that shouldn't be a problem. ) so that should be easy to figure out. Then you run the two different FIRE actions that are called "Run Last", run them on the right fire units. (Again easy cause they are named N and S at last so are the actions) When the actions are done then save the units.
6)Copy them to GFX\Map\Units\bmp in your EU2 folder.
7)Now there should also be files called .SPR in GFX\Map\Units in CK folder. Again copy those who are called the above listed.
8) Now when you have them on your desktop then rename them into Eu2 format like for:
Walk:
T-ARMY C-celtic A-WALK D-NE
=
T-ARMY C-XXX A-WALK L-X D-NE
Fire:
T-ARMY C-celtic A-FIRE v-4 D-N
=
T-ARMY C-XXX A-FIRE L-X D-N
Stand(IDLE):
T-ARMY C-celtic A-IDLE v-1
=
T-ARMY C-XXX A-STAND L-X
9) Now open the SPR files and overwrite the string that looks like this(Should be the same):
with
With the FIRE SPR files you should change it to:
(For NE)
(For SW)
10) Place them into GFX\Map\Units in EU2 folder.
11) Go to GFX\Palette in CK folder and find the bmp file called the same as the unit your working on. In this case celtic.bmp copy it to GFX\Palette in EU2 folder.
12) Open the DB/countries.csv find the nations you want to have your Ck unit and then in the middle of the lines there is four TAGs edit the second to your XXX.
13) Look at this really good tutorial posted by KaRei http://www.europa-universalis.com/forum/showpost.php?p=5178894&postcount=1 so you place the unit correct.
14) Travel out in the world and conquer it with your new soldiers!

Code:
Origin = { x = 54 y = 74 }
Code:
origin = { x = 45 y = 65 }
With the FIRE SPR files you should change it to:
Code:
origin = { x = 21 y = 65 }
Code:
origin = { x = 42y = 47}
