Then maybe re-install the mod instead of the game (M&B) might be a better idea?
Or have I already said that?
Or maybe it's just the smoke...

Hmm can you tell me which kind of videocard you have? And videocard ram too, please.
Captured Joe, I need your help!
Can you please find some images of Swedish Dragoons? I barely can find some good examples with Google. Even if I search in Swedish language.

Those pictures look like they were drawn by a five year old. 
That uniform is from the Russo-Swedish war of 1788-1790.Agovic said:
The next 2 are just wrong, I can see that.
The last ones... bad pictures IMO. Knötel is infinitely better:

Swedish horse guard regiments:
As you can see in the last plate, there are different types of uniform coat used there. The one worn by the white-coated officer in the foreground appears to be of the newer 1807 model, while the others are of the older model worn in 1805.
In Sweden and Danemark-Norway, it was common practice to replace the uniforms not by new ones unless they were falling to bits. So in 1807 many soldiers were still dressed in the 1803/1805 model uniforms.
(Just like in 1940, during the German invasion, many Danish units still wore their WW1 black greatcoats and brown leather belts.)
BTW: Sweden had only 1 hussar regiment, the (apparently famous?) Mörner Hussars.
EDIT:
Did you see the white scarfs around the officers' left arms? All officers in the Swedish army wore those, as a remembrance of the coup of 1772 (in which Gustav III became absolute monarch), where it was used as a fieldsign (token of remembrance).
In this site you can see the high variety of uniforms within the Swedish cavalry; almost every regiment seems to had his own uniform (uniforms here ore of 1810 onward, though!).
This gives me an idea...11sparky11 said:Those pictures look like they were drawn by a five year old.
Oh my... my internet just crashed and my post which I was writing is gone... I feel bad now...
Whatever, I start again. Ijust about an hour ago scanned some pages from Uniformen in Kleur (written by Preben Kannik, Amsterdam 1969; vertaald uit het deens).
Some Swedish and Danish uniforms:
(only the right-hand Swede (and the headgear of the Dane on the left), have uniforms for the 1805 period; the uniform of the Dane on the right hasn't much chanced since 1805...)
The description of the Swedish Dragoon, in Dutch, is rather usefull I think:
The description of the Swedish infantry may also be usefull, although the illustrated uniform is of a later model:
In this book there are some more usefull plates I think, I can post these too if you want.

262. ZWEDEN
Regiment Smalandse lichte dragonders, dragonder, 1808
De Zweedse cavalerie kon op grond van de nieuwe uniformbepalingen nauwelijks tot een uniform uiterlijk komen. In 1799 werd het jak met de korte gemarkeerde opslagen ingevoerd. De knoopsjerp, de zogenaamde huzarensjerp, [in de afbeelding geel] was reeds in 1795 bij alle regimenten dragonders ingevoerd en in hetzelfde jaar werd bepaald dat de gehele cavalerie met sabeltassen uitgeruist moest worden. De huzaarachtige muts werd in 1794 ingevoerd. Bij de dagelijkse dienst en als het koud was werden sinds 1794 donkerblauwe rijbroeken met leren stukken gedragen. [...]

261. ZWEDEN
Regiment Kalmar, infanterist, 1814
De Zweedse infanterie, waarvan de uniformen in 1792 nog ten dele uit de tijd van voor 1779 dateerden, kregen in 1798 jassen met opslagen, die tot de taille dichtgeknoopt konden worden. De ronde hoge hoed was hoger geworden [dus na die van 1788-90, die door Agovic getoond word] en werd voorzien van een geelkoperen band, waarop aan de voorkant het koninklijk monogram of het regimentswapen was aangebracht. In 1806 werden de opslagen afgeschaft en de jas van een sluiting met een rij knopen voorzien. [...]
Het is begrijpelijk, dat deze zo snel op elkaar volgende veranderingen grote verwarring stichtten, vooral omdat de nieuwe uniformen niet aangeschaft mochten worden voordat de oude uniformen waren versleten. Verschillende regimenten volgden de instructies niet op, maar hadden hun uniformen voorzien van een kraag en mouwomslagen in de oude regimentskleuren.

Exactly what I need! Thank you so much... Your books are amazing.
And the description in Dutch is really useful indeed! Thank you for all the work

Yes, their top hats were ugly, weren't they?
Some very interesting plates, posted by Svensson:

I guess I just equip them some engineer uniform, unless you find some really good picture of them. Then I can consider making a uniform for them.

Huzzah!
Great job!Captured Joe said:Yes, their top hats were ugly, weren't they?
Yeah, they were, to be honest, very ugly. The problem was there was one uniform & hat for them only but they didn't fit together very well so in the end it wasn't nice.
Great! I love them!
Just found this:
(Found these with google; so apparently Google is indeed your friend. But I already knew the unifroms, thanks to Hat's good accuracy, I just needed better pictures.)
And from this Hat site:
(So, in 1802 already the Finns wore that uniform; The peak of the shako could be turned up, but you can use normal shakos in-game IMO, because then they would be down.)
EDIT: Maybe you can use a grey coat for both the Finns and the Mercenary horsemen?
Also: The Danish Grenadiers apparently used the same bearskin hats (with peak) as the Austrians.
And the Danish top hats were the same style as the Swedish ones.
EDIT2:
Damn, did you say 'engineer uniform'? The Austrian engineers used grey coats like that too!
