Skin packs

Post by acroobat »

It would be nice to apply different skin for unit or fraction. With this option the same default unit with strict original stats has another appearance. There are a lot of image resources from different eras. Some are not appropriate for new units but ok for skins. Just stay in a mood :D

You can code one of these by yourself with WML. Check out UtBS and see how the "loyalist yellow/bronze armour shift" mod is used.
You can refactor it to apply to other faction units.

Thanks, I will take a look on that but I suppose, yellow loyalist is coded as different unit in UtBS.

My idea is that: you see "monk" instead of "troll" with skin pack. Attacks, abilities, stats are the same ofc. Title of unit is something like: "Monk(Troll welph)"
In multiplayer opponent can choose weather to disable skin mod or skin view. Just for fun :D
