I was able to sucessfully import some new models complete with skins to my map. Unfortunatly the units mouths don't move so is it possible to place a picture where the characters face would go on the menu when the unit is clicked on? |

I would say it is very possible. Though you must edit the portrait mdx file, alternatively make a new one. If you only want a picture for the portrait then it shouldn't be much harder than to make a new mdx file with a plane (Where on you place the image as the texture) and a camera facing the plane. The portrait model should have the same path and the same filename, except for an added "_Portrait" before the .mdx, as the model it belongs to. Like this, the footman model has this path Units\Human\Footman\Footman.mdx And so therefore the portrait model belonging to the footman has the path Units\Human\Footman\Footman_Portrait.mdx Simple as that! It automaticly uses that portrait if it has the same path and same filename (Well, also the added _Portrait bit) but since the portrait space in the game isn't square you might have some trouble making the portraits fit and show what you want of the image and at the same time not show the black background. |
