CSV File Questions

Post by alexjack »

I recently stumbled on Jack ONiells great little unitmodel csv file which I think makes a great improvement to the uniforms.I was also pleasantly surprised to see that it changed the colour of the horses for the Confederates, that 'same colour' look I didn't like at all. However I found that it didn't apply to the Union cavalry. I opened the file and saw that the horses had a separate section so I figured that if I changed all the GFX file names in the section starting 'UPR_USA_TRANS from GFX_USA to GFX_CSA then the Union cavalry would simply use the Confederate horse graphics.Didn't work.Anybody tell me if I'm thinking along the right lines? Also is there a file unpacker for the GFX files?
Thanks in advance.

The only mod I'm aware of that changes horse graphics is RebBugler's "big brown" mod. The horses are part of the cavalry graphics, and I think he only modded the confederate graphics, so as far as I know there's no way to use these horses with union cavalry graphics. (Other than recoloring them yourself.)

Unless there's a different mod I don't know about.

Thanks for your reply. Could you tell me how to open the files that contain the sprites?

I would refer to the SDK (in the sticky thread in this forum) for that.
