Hi! I am making a big mod compilation around Fuwuvi's Expanded Japan and Field Command Sengoku, could I use this mod and credit you?

Thanks! Lenny

Can you make a version that only have Elite Unit Reskin and doesnt touch on other units like Ashigaru? I really like the elite unit reskin here as they are very cool, but damn, why is my Ashigaru also got reskinned when it shouldnt have

Hello there, could you teach me how to edit the horo on the generals bodyguard?

Great mod.

Another great mod! really appreciate the obvious hard work and time you have put into these unit mods! they give a great feel to the battlefield

I suppose it's not historical?

Kind words.
Was a joy making this :)

A mod that gives you a Generals bodyguard that looks like a Generals bodyguard , elite units that look like they are elite.

It seems a small thing , but after you try this mod you won't understand how you ever lived without it , and you will be loathe to ever go back to vanilla , or play the game without it.

Happy to hear it works there.
yeah Im afraid i can't speak for Mac.

Happy gaming and thanks for your word s:)

Dear Ben, thanks for replying me. I have tried your mod in Window Version, it works well. The problem only occurs when I try on Mac Version of the game. I might try to delete everything manually and re-install to see if it can solve the problem. Otherwise it might be just Mac's problem when running the mod. Anyway, thanks again for your great mod!

THis is due to steam only deleting official files. Not mods :) Can trick you there by having leftover stuff.

Now I'm not saying you should delete your game ofc. Just explaining a few things since lots of people arent aware of these leftover files or how mod combinations can cause strange issues.

But yes. TLDR: Try to load this alone after resetting your game with no mods on = Turn all off. Load game, exit, load mine. See what happens. :)

Mmmm mods like these can be case sensitive. This means that any mixup with other mods can result in wonky surprises.

I recommend you try to turn everything else you have on off, load uip your game. Exit your game. Then load this mod, load up game, test game, see what happens.

I hope this fixes it. I've been very thorough in making sure my mods work so it's always a surprise to hear when issues like these are reported :) But mostly it's due to old scripts, mods not uninstalled properly, hidden files buried in the data folders that are causing issues without even appearing like it's active. In which case reinstalls and full deletes of shogun 2 folders manually, not via steam, is recommended.

Dear Ben, I just saw this mod and I find it awesome. The problem I have is whenever I have this mod enable, the normal samurais and horse samurais' textures in the game are all broken, other unit's textures are fine including the Hero units textures. Do you have any idea what might cause problem and maybe a solution for this? Thanks

Glad you like. Thanks :)

Thank you for your quick response is very nice mod.

Hi there, Juan.
Just disable all mods, except this one. launch game. Then exit game.
Then that mod is Nr 1. Then launch the others. :)

Hello 1 Question How to move your mod first of the list? thank you.

Just the heroes :)

is this reskin for all units in the game

quick question ... is it posibile to make like a yakuza unit with tattots and make them look simlar to this unit aswell i think it would we dope

Sure there are some that exist.

Alternatively, follow my tutorial at the bottom of this mods description and you can find the horo files and remove them all.
Tutorial goes over it.

The specific file-name is found in

Variant models, then select the general unit called Taisho.soldier. ( General bodyguard)
And then youll see a few categories appear, one of them being called " Back" and inside this you can right click and delete the horos you dont want.
I dont remember if the bubbles got specific names atm but you can always just experiment and remove or add whatever you want :)

Anyway, tutorial goes over everything. It's quite easy.

happy modding, KR.

Can i use mod to remove horo ?

Yes, Will. Every hero is changed here. And generals. :)

can I ask did you also change default heros' armor, like katana and yari hero?

It's for default campaign only ,borrowing models from those campaigns and MP.

this work with the others dlc? fall of samurai and rise of samurai?

因为我比某些15世纪的人更喜欢12世纪的人？
我只是随心所欲，创造了一些独特的东西。
随意创作自己的作品

Because I liked the 12th century ones more than certain 15th century ones ?
I just went with my gut and created some unique stuff.
Feel free to create your own work

Why you gave hero units older 12th century armor type and took off, better 15th century ones ?
Also there is a mod that changes armor of Gozen's heroines unit. You should take a look which ones is better looking.

Hmmmm I see, yes. But question. You mentioned you wanted to remove the general bubble (horo)
If you want to remove this then please try to go to "back" category and then right click - Delete on the entry you want gone.
This registers immediate change.

Then click away to another unit ID and once it goes red, save. Done.

That should work 100 %.

5) Left click on “Helmets”
6) Right click on “Helmets”-> Add Mesh and Text References -> The word "NEW_ENTRY" appears on the "Mesh" and "Texture" columns
7)Left click on “samurai_inf_tetsubo_hero.soldier.unit_variant” -> “Helmets”
8)Double left click on “VariantModels/UnitParts/Japan/helmets/kamakura_3/mesh”
9)Left Click on “samurai_inf_nodachi_samurai.soldier.unit” -> “Helmets” -> Doble Left Click on “New Entry “ on Mesh coloumn –> Right click -> Paste “VariantModels/UnitParts/Japan/helmets/kamakura_3/mesh” on the column “mesh”
10) Left click on “samurai_inf_tetsubo_hero.soldier.unit_variant” (the word become red)
11) -> “Helmets” -> Double left click on “VariantModels/UnitParts/Japan/helmets/kamakura_3/tex/texture”-> Copy
12) Left click on ““samurai_inf_nodachi_samurai.soldier.unit” ->Helmets -> On the columns appear again “NEW_ENTRY” :(

Doesn’t work….
I go in order to try to show what I’m doing..
1)Open a copy of your mod with another name : TheShogunsFinestSamuraimod_Nickra
2)Open varianmodels and then units
3)Right click -> Add from pack -> I add the “samurai_inf_nodachi_samurai.soldier.unit” from another pack because I don’t find this name in your mod and I don’t find it in data of Shogun 2-> (green write ->save)
4)Left click on “samurai_inf_nodachi_samurai.soldier.unit”

Futhermore. 1 pro-tip. Whenever you add something or just want to change something in a line, line altering a name instead of adding a whole new line. Always right click and say Add something, and then remove it afterwards.
The reason for this is that it causes the mod tool to immediately register a change has occured. And then when you click off to Billy's line it goes red. Boom, save. 100 % Safe

If I merely change Date_masamunes name to Billy_samurai and I dont add anything else the mod tool wont register these typings to have occured.

I know, its annoying. But luckily the workaround is pretty fast.

As long as categorized ID maintains this universal structure, it should save :)

variantmodels\unitparts\japan\arms\date_masamune_arm\mesh
VariantModels/UnitParts/japan/arms/date_masamune_arm/tex/texture

Yeah, There is a trick to this.
The moment you open a say... hand category. And remove or add something, then click away, all the way in the left side, unto another unit ID.

No-dachi (you're editing this)

Below is for instance Billy the Ashigaru. Click on billy, then youll see No dachi turn "red" and that means a change has occured. Then you can save. :( Its a packfile issue.

Also, I highly recommend that you save often and dont edit more than 5-6 units at a time because the packfile manager can get very unstable and suddenly crash when switching to ID's. Its a memory leak problem that never got fixed.

But yeah. Workarounds once one is aware of it :)

Thank you very much!! I read and managed to make the change after a few tries. Now I'm trying to add the helmet to the nodachi units but unfortunately the pack file manager never saves me the change and reports an error message (I pasted separately the name ending with "/ mesh" and the ending with "text / texture") ... Could you give me some advice?

Hi there :) its not a bug. I intended to include it alongside the others for the sake of variation.
If you wish to remove it yourself its fairly easy. I included a tutorial at the very bottom of this description where I tell you about what and where to download a tool, open it, where to navigate to specifically remove any pieces of equipment you dislike.
The Horo in this case is no different. The tutorial gives you a pretty good idea and takes you directly to the area :) Simply delete and save thing.

Thank you for your mod, It'is a masterpiece! I have noticed a small bug. In custom battles some soldiers of the genaral have the classic horo... can you fix it?

ok

Yes indeed they are :) My masterpiece!

幕府的武士精英-一个精锐的雷斯金模组。

I agree :) Thats why I made them solely for the best units in the game :)
Thank you for your kind words. Enjoy the mod :)

I have to say that it is very beautiful and excellent, but this should belong to the stage of the noble warrior.I am very grateful for your production.

Enjoy !!

epic!

You're very welcome, man :)
Happy you're enjoying it !
