Scythian Warband Unit:

By Professor Spatula.

Here's some quick instructions to get the unit working.


i) Unzip se_unit_barb_warband_longshield_scythia.tga.dds and unit_barb_warband_longshield_scythia.tga.dds
to your models_unit\textures folder.

These are two different versions of the longshield Scythian warband unit.

ii) Unzip #barb_infantry_dacian.tga to data\ui\units\scythia folder

iii) Unzip barb_infantry_dacian_info.tga to data\ui\unit_info\scythia folder

These are the unit cards obviously.  Create the directories if they don't already exist.


iv) Open the export_descr_unit.txt file.  Find the 'barb infantry dacian' unit and change the ownership
to: dacia, scythia

v) Edit descr_model_battle.txt.  Find the barb_infantry_longshield model and add a line for Scythia like so:

"texture				scythia, data/models_unit/textures/se_unit_barb_warband_longshield_scythia.tga"

Also add a line for the sprite:
"model_sprite		scythia, 60.0, data/sprites/dacia_barb_infantry_longshield_sprite.spr"

I don't have a sprite, so until you make one for yourself, the Dacian one will have to do.


***

And that should be all that is required for the Scythian warband unit to be available.  Obviously to have the unit
recruitable in the campaign, you'll need to also edit the export_descr_building.txt file and add an entry for the
unit in the Scythian barracks.

Hope it works.
