Culture Unit Makeover

Description
An updated version of this mod has been included in Culture Unit Makeover Thematic Add-On by Bagas and Von Schnitzel. Their mod is updated for Empires & Ashes and includes many more variations. Existing addons should work with their version.


This mod will not receive further updates. It is recommended that you uninstall this mod and replace it with the Thematic Add-On.







old description:

A mod that let's you pick the look of your culture units.

No more showing up to the battle wearing the same thing as that other feudal culture.

Base game variations included.

Free city units will have the same look if they share your race I think.

No original files were modified.

So If you pick the Soother outfit for support but your culture's support unit is male, don't be surprised

Weapons don't change

Gender toggle is untested, use at own risk


Addons for more variations:

Actually I just tested and without this the edit army options were just gone so while this is kind f broken with some mounts it looks like the other mods are as well but you still need this to edit units at all

you don't need this if you have thematic addon

I'm confused do I need this still if I have thematic add on? one of these updates makes cavalry models for certain mounts underground...

guide to adding the dependency:

1. Find the mod in your workshop folder and copy the files to a new folder in your local Documents\Paradox Interactive\Age of Wonders 4\Mods folder.
2. In that folder make a zip file of all the files. So you have like Mods\unitmakeover\makeover.zip
3. Open Package Manager and make a new mod. Click content-> packages-> check the dependency and click ok. If it doesn't show up you messed up the zip step.
4. Start Resource Editor (from Package Manager!) and click content-> resouce packs-> add.. then navigate to the copied mod folder and add the Packs/um_categories.rpk as a dependency

For making the outfits just take a look at the other mods or um_basegame_modularity.rpk

Add an arms, torso, legs, and headitem component for each outfit even if they're empty (to overwrite the base outfit)

Basically just copy over the mesh items from other outfits you like.

That's a good thing to have, that guide/tutorial. I wish I know how to create models for units since making more diverse themes for each culture is such a nice idea. Imagine Roman themed dwarfs or other armor themes out there

Is there a modding guide/tutorial on how to make our own looks to apply to units with this mod as a depencency? Is it hard to do?
I have some ideas for stuff I want to try making.

So without modifying original files the gender slider can't be fixed.

It's possible to fix specific outfit genders (make soothers/skirmishers always female) but it's kind of annoying, and nobody complained about that, so I'm probably going to leave it as it is.

@Shadowing That won't be necessary i made outlaw compatible last uppdate i also intend to add outlaw culture appearance to Unique Culture Appearance.
