I hate mughal elephant sprites (unit model). Can someone help me to change elephants to regular horse model?

Guys need help with theese elephants. I play with mughals but elephant unit model covers entire city on map, it slows me pretty much, i need a solution to turn off them with in ironman mode. Can some1 help me about it?

The easiest solution is to disable the unit packs in the launcher which contain the elephant models

[OldmaN]

i dont know which unit pack contains elephants, it could be in darma pack also.

It's the Dharma Content Pack, not the Expansion Dharma.

The elephant sprites are indeed annoying, but as grotaclas said, they're optional.

i switched of all unit packs (not only dharma), reloaded my saved game and the elephants still there (with different color). I will really stop playing this save during age of revolution because of theese elephants if i cant fix this. Any other ideas?

I checked the DLC and discovered that the elephants are actually in the Dharma expansion and not in the Dharma unit packs. So you would have to mod out the elephant sprites.

A simple way to just disable the sprites from the Dharma DLC(and not the unit packs) would be to create a mod and then create a folder "gfx" in the mod and a folder "entities" in the gfx folder and then an empty file "_dharma_entities.asset". It can be a text file which is empty or has only comments(lines which start with "#") and has an ascii or ANSI encoding, but the file extension must be .asset and not .txt.
But you still have to disable the other unit packs which have elephants, or mod them so that you replace the elephants with horses while keeping the infantry sprites. The following DLCs mention the word elephants in their files, but I didn't check them how they actually look like in game:

• Dharma - Indian Sultanate Pack
  
• Dharma - Hindu Unit Pack
  
• Buddhists Unit Pack
  
• Indian Subcontinent Unit Pack
  
• Dharma (these elephants would be disabled by the empty file which I mentioned above)

Thank you for the correction.
