A simple reskin of the 33rd Foot ranker to have him resemble a member of the 56th Regiment of Foot, West Essex, the only British regiment known to boast purple facings.
Well howdy there, fellas. This is a basic reskin of the 33rd Regiment of Foot's ranker into a member of the 56th Regiment of Foot, which bears the title of West Essex. This regiment is unique in that in 1764, the regimental facing was switched from a crimson red to pompadour purple. Nobody (Or maybe just me) is sure on why it was purple, however the troops often stated it was due to the color of Madame Pompadour's underwear.
List of Changes:
- 33rd Ranker to 56th Foot
- Drummer now 56th (Optional, I honestly despise this skin and don't use it, it's farby!!!)
- Purple facings
- Correct regimental lace
- New bump map to allow regimental lace to not look whack
- Equipment for the 33rd (Canteen, backpack, crossbelt plate) now say 56
- 33rd shako plate now reads as 56
Installation if fairly simple and straightforward, there's a readme file just in case you need it.
Installation Instructions:
- Make backups of your original textures (Unlike me)
- Drag textures (Except drummer, I advise you don't use him) into the Napoleonic Wars 'Textures' folder
- Find the troops.txt in the main directory of NW, open it
- Ctrl + F to search for '33rd'
- Once you see '33rd_Regiment_of_Foot' replace the 33rd with 56th
- You're done and ready to go
Hopefully you enjoy this addon and get some sort of use out of it.
