Middle Earth mod for European War 4

Thank you! I will wait for you to get home.

Note: This was hastily done to try help you out. There might be mistakes, but I hope it's readable.

Sorry for the quite late reply, I've lost track of time surfing through these files. Anyways, if you can, have Google translate (some words within the xml are Chinese. Remember never play guessing games unless you want to mess around, etc), an image editing software (one that displays coordinates is best (that'll be GIMP)), and notepad. All coordinates are in xml. Open xml through notepad.

Process of texturing
1. Prepare your texture.
2. Place over existing texture (know the size of both your texture and the previous textures and coordinates, all such is in in the xml (many xmls....find the suited xml (light inf, line inf, etc) and one that doesn't have a 1 at the end)
3. Edit xml to fit your new texture that is covering the old texture.

Remember, always backup your files. Texturing is all about trial and error. But most importantly, have fun!

Here's example:
Let's say you want an Uruk Hai uniform. You want the Russian infantry to be the Uruk Hai.
Go to army_lineinfantry.png. Find the russian infantry uniform.
Unless stated, find the Russian infantry uniform in xml. Take coordinate in xml and match it in the png. Which is it closest to? That will help you determine what is what country's infantry it belongs to. Or you could find the Russian infantry uniform and then find in xml (2nd method's only if you understand how textures work, how they face, etc). To be very prepared and ready, it's best to look for the entire country's infantry.
Place the texture over (or try use eraser to erase the unwanted uniform and then place texture over. I would love to see those results. By doing this, it can somewhat help me in texturing. I'm wondering if this suggested method works)
If your units are too big, tone it down, or fix xml to allow it to show the texture ingame. If you don't tone down the texture size or fix up xml, the texture ingame will be cut off.


Hope this helps. If there are any mistakes, alert me. 

This video makes me wonder if we can add a melee style of attack in the mod. Just watch how the infantry and cavalry attack. They attack just like in Three Kingdoms, but the result on the affected unit looks like it was hit by a cannon or rifleman. In short, just mask a bit the firing animation.

Aleksandr Vasilevsky , Personally, I'm feeling close to give up. There are too many things I still don't understand (I'm a total disaster at working on prograns). I will make all the unit models, but, unless I change my mind, I really want to give them to someone to create them for me. I'm more of a coordonator than an actual programmer, and I find many of these things difficult. I really want you to edit the nations! That would be a good blueprint for adfing the units. It is almost impossible on the standard game. We can have the first version only with the changed countries, and then in the second one also the units. Anyways in my original idea I was supposed only to give indication about how it should look like, not actually work on editing. But I will try whatever I can, if needed.

Even thought, I think I found an easier way to introduce the new textures in one of BJ's videos.

Also, please Bismark Junior, can you help me after finishing Bellum Romanum?

CountVonNumenor Modding is something that is not easy, and through time, you will understand. When I first started modding this game and other games, I did not understand too much. However, through many times of reading guides, experimenting, and exploring through files, I have gained much "experience" required for such a task. When things feel impossible, just tell me or anyone what the issue is before giving up. So, through time, you should be able to understand. Until then, I personally advise you not to give up yet.

Also, could you PM me some of the units you created? I could try work on them.
