For those who have successfully removed "multiplayer_item="true" in their spitems.xml, would you be kind enough to do a how-to guide? Because when I search for that line in the file, I find upwards of several hundred lines containing "multiplayer_item="true". Are you really meant to delete them all just to get items to show up?

Yes.
If you're using notepad to edit it, just press Ctrl+H, put multiplayer_item="true" into the find bar, leave replace empty and then hit replace all.
There you go, however you will need a new save for it to take effect.

Ademar, the elephants have to be scaled up with the horse scale to be elephant sized, if you scale them up too high then the hitboxes turn real bad.
I have no scheduled release date for this mod at this moment.

Also, because I haven't fully decided to go for mulitplayer, singleplayer, or both just yet I added a few units to singleplayer just to test them out.
Here's a preview of the thureophoroi, as ancient records and grave steles depict them as mainly being soild white, that is what I have gone with for the first shield. After trying them, I think players will have fun with them, as they come with shield, javelins, spear, and sword they are very versatile troops.
While it might be historical for the shields to be just white, I know that players will be more interested in a wider display, so work will be done on that.

The following battle took about one to two minutes, even with me barely outnumbering the foes I didn't think it would go by so fast.

How did you do elephants correctly rideable ? With a new skeleton ?

Click to expand...

Well first off I started with the elephants made by AlphaDelta like everyone else, and after seeing myself ride around in the elephant's stomach I knew that needed to change. I then downloaded Rigadoon's model but it wasn't rigged, so I pasted the rigging onto it then just played around.

After some time I noticed that by moving the elephant model I could get it into the right position, but at the cost of the hitboxes and animations becoming wonky. Now after rerigging it, I can tell you there's no new skeleton involved, if I remember right you can't do multiple skeletons for horses and elephants anyways.

Here's a video of the rigged elephant made by Rigadoon: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTbWleX-0Cc&feature=youtu.be, the elephant is also OSP so anyone can use it in their mods if they don't mind it's slightly missed up hitbox.

Looking nice, are those aspis-sized or phalangite pelta-size?

Click to expand...

The phalangite code used in the Rome at War mod was made by me, so you can think of that as something of a preview. 
But onto the shields themselves they are pelta sized,  here are some pics of them being tested ingame. The goal after finishing on the phalangite is to start work on more assault-oriented infantry, like Galatians for the east and Thracians for Macedon, but that still is awhile off for now.

Also at the moment I'm looking for a coder that can help me with a goal I have in mind for this mod. I understand how alot of work would be involved, but I'm hopeful that somebody also interested in the idea can help.

Thanks guys.

Is it for singleplayer or multiplayer ?

Click to expand...

I haven't really decided yet, but I'm leaning towards multiplayer on first release.

Here's a preview on some shields I've been working on, they're based off of this

After some more shield patterns, I plan to work out the troop types and then start implementing them.
