''Wrong'' french troop designs?

[Prinz Wilhelm]

It came to my mind a few hours(!) ago that the ''blue frogs'' during like 1714-1805 when they have the three edges hat on their head are historiccly inaccurate:
During the time the french started using the triple edged hat until the revolution they wore WHITE uniforms, aswell as their flag was, for the army: White with golden lilys.
Is this just a mistake? Have no one ever thought about it?
And, Is there any mod that changes the french army and navy and state/city flags to white/golden lily and makes it historiccly correct? But is it so that if BOTH Aus and Fra was white, you couldn't tell the diffrence? but if it is so, look at the, not so ''nice'' uniforms of denmark and hessen ( ), etc etc ( actually some sort of grey, I mean DANES in GREY????? ).They look all the same except for the flags.. If that's so, DENMARK should have RED uniforms with some white.. It's all a mess
Now off-topic: Anyone have made a mod that ''pimps'' Fre Revolution that allows you to choose Royalists or Republicans and if you choose Royalists you should keep the white uniforms and the flag and at the ''special'' Roya places you should have provinces, same with republicans that gives you the tricolor and blue uniforms with some red.

And to let the Republicans have some special ''Freedom'' provinces.. It would be fun if the mod created another nation during that special time, French Republic if you played royals and French Royalists if you chose republicans

EU II is to let YOU change history. I fell angry about that i HAD to play republicans when i played france and waited and waited for some fun at the revolution. The ''fun'' was you HAD to play republicans and there were rebellions that NEVER EVER stopped coming

Anyone agree?

Likely no mod, though you might be able to request it from some graphic guy.

The grey is because it's a bit... unecessary to paint uniforms for every single country. That being said, Denmark is important enough to get it's own unit sprites.

Agreed.

 

[Prinz Wilhelm]

Yeah I agree about painting them to closely, but you graphic guys out there!!! PLEASE! . Although there should be uppdated french revolution

And as I said, why isn't there WHITE frenchmen, they wern't acctually blue.. *sigh*

(I adore the french during Pre-Napoleonic era)

 

[cool-toxic]

Ohh i must be a graphic guy I'll make a Denmark unit!! red n' white!

 

[cool-toxic]

Danish Army

I've corrected the yellowish legs now

 

[Prinz Wilhelm]

Nice, Got those french bourbons aswell?

Nice job, so what you showed is for all level 3 and 4 aswell?
Well, what about the bourbons? are you working on them

And a little guide of downloading and extracting the units should work just fine


-Happy Prinz

 

[cool-toxic]

If we just write in this thread it's easier
No not for Lvl 3 nor 4 it's only for Lvl 1 i'll make some later when i get time
The bourbons should be simple cause it's already done be Kaigon i only need to change some red to gold

 

[Semi-Lobster]

Wow, that Danish Sprite looks amazing cool-toxic! err... do you do requests? My attempts at recolouring sprites have... well, all been complete failures

 

[Prinz Wilhelm]

Ok, let's talk in this thread now. But you need to change the name of the Kaigon Austries to unit_fra or something right?

I now make a request for a white bourbon flag

-Edit- I suddenly realised that Kaigon already had that flag, my bad :rofl:

Thanks
I don't do request but if it can be used in the vanilla timeframe i'll do the recoloring if i got the time
The way to do it is not messing with the Nuance.

 

[cool-toxic]

I would like download links to all the stuff I need for creating units, btw I noticed, why does the dane have yellow?

As i wrote:

BTW. I'll have to do my CK->WATKAB and CK->WATK finished(modding the files uploaded by KoM)

 

[Prinz Wilhelm]

Ah, ok. My bad
When you're done with the other lvls for my danes, please put them here to display

 

[cool-toxic]

Danish Army Lvl 2

 

[Prinz Wilhelm]

Omg!

OMG! Nice !

I'm a happy man!!!

I make a request for a event that changes the flag/unitsprites of france at the beginning of 1700.

That Dane is beutiful!!!! Wow!..

 

[Prinz Wilhelm]

Could I get your email cool-toxic?

I got lots of (requests) if you can handle

-Edit- I'm a little slow in my head, as the 12 years I am, so I apoligize for (requests) :wacko:

 

[cool-toxic]

No problem
About an event this can't be done but look in the land.csv in EU2 root/DB. There is a column where it says 1, 2, 3 or 4 that's the Units GFX to the Lvl selected.
And i Only do request when i got the time and will
But this recoloring thing all can do just look at the sticky "Grand Unit Request Thread" in this sub forum. I've linked to work from Kasperus, Birger, KaRei and Jorian etc. (Tutorials and such)

[Prinz Wilhelm]

[Prinz Wilhelm]

Ah, so you mean that you can change the sprite from a blue, lvl 2 to a white lvl 3 ?

 

[cool-toxic]

Yes if you got the right .SPR files named correctly
I'm not finished with the units yet it'll take some time cause i need to do all the .SPR files... :wacko:
