Someone port this over please, there is no decent reskin for High Elves in Warhammer 3 (and nooo, Shields don't count, I love HV and Heraldry but that's not a reskin, that is shields).

@JFred HI. JFred. I received a porting request saying that your mod is no longer being updated. So if you are no longer making it, is it okay if I take your mod?

Hello JFred, I always enjoy using the mods you upload.
However, I have one question, so I am posting this after much thought.
Among the mods uploaded by JFred, there is a mod 3 called High Elves - Reborn [Overhaul] that just won't come out no matter how long I wait. I am asking if you could personally donate some money and model the mods for your personal collection. Have a nice day..!

I second that WH3 version please with cherry on top!!

Would love to see this ported to WH3! Absolutely love it!

@indestructable007
Sorry, this was done so long ago that I honestly can't remember how I went about it. My best guess is I used photoshop's hue/saturation tool to adjust the color and maybe some others?

@JFred, I've been getting into Warhammer asset editing and would love to help port this mod to Warhammer 3, let me know if there's anything I can do to help :)
Regardless, I've tried myself to re-create the look, but am having a bit of trouble getting the colors right through gimp. Did you have a specific process to recolor the dds files?

can't wait for this to port in WH3! Its giving Mirkwood vibe

Dropped some points to support the effort ;)
I know it takes a lot of work but looking forward to seeing the mod drop for III!

Any way that the WH3 version is soon to be released? Really missing this piece of art :(

@JFred Undoubtedly I will just keep in mind no rush I am just happy to know its planned for the future even if that's 2 years from now

Glad you enjoy it, wish I had better news for you. I've been putting off HE for a while because it will be my most ambitious overhaul to date. Hopefully you'll find it worth the wait.

@JFred it still brings me joy to know it is planned for the future and as I said before Excellent mod

its not actively being worked on, but i do still plan to bring it to wh3 at some point as part of a larger overhual for the HE.

I second what Razzsk said this looks amazing and it would be wonderful in III. And thank you for producing such a wonderful reskin

Sup! just wanted to know if this is still being worked on for WH3, it's the best HE Reskin in the workshop by far and would love it to have it for immortal empires

Hello there! This is my #1 favorite mod for Warhammer 2 and I'm having trouble diving into Warhammer 3 without it, is there any chance you are planning to bring this mod to Warhammer 3 in the future?

Well, I'd be sad for them to lose the skirts.

When you port this beauty, I think many would be happy to see the elfs losing their skirts, otherwise its the best skin overhaul out there for HE as it stands.

Don't you want to add a mode in 3?
Please T ^T. . .I"m Nice helf want T ^T...

Hello everyone, I am a fan ! !
I'm from Warhammer Total War 3 I hope this mod comes out soon
Please I don't have your mod I'm so sad
I hope this mod comes out in War Hammer 3 Please T ^T...
I don't have this mod the game is not fun . . .

For sure. But its looking extremely unlikely right now I'm afraid.

If you discover a good method for porting textures/rigid models over to WH3 please do share!

I put so much bloody work into my reskins for WH2 and the thought of maybe having to redo it all from scratch really sucks.

Just a heads up, I will be updating this mod and many others for immortal empires. WH3 introduced a new texturing method that is different from WH1/2 so I will be investigating how best to implement my mods for the best visual results. This may require remaking some textures from scratch and updating file references on the models. As such there is no concrete ETA, but rest assured I will be working to get them uploaded to the WH3 workshop as soon as possible.

Can you make it work with Radious pls?

sadly no, some tables you can probably get away with using the wh2 ones but i dont think that is one of them

JFreds I have another little modding help question for you :D

... PFM and RPFM haven't updated their schemas for WH3 yet but I want to make a quick 200% unit size mod before I play. Do you know if there is any app or other method for opening pack file tables that I can use while waiting for (R)PFM to update?

Thanks!!

Glad you like it!

that is a great way to do it tbh but its hell for sure. i ended up putting your mods at the top and its all fixed and your amazing textures are so good, I honestly cant play the game without them!

it may be a bit tedious if you have a lot of mods installed, but i recommend activating one at a time and launching the game to check the unit until you see the issue happen again

Oh dang, just loaded up your mod without all my mods I had on (200ish) and it worked fine my bad. i wish I knew which one was making this issue. I love your skin mods thank you so much for your time!

Sounds like a missing texture issue, maybe a conflict from a mod that changes one of the model's texture paths?

some of the spears have green and red checker on them, any fix you could do?

nice, that was a clever fix

Never mind, I just discovered asset editor and used it to remove the incorrect LODs in the rigid model! Easy peasy! :D

Ooh ooh I've worked out what the problem is!! Whoever made the original faceplate model just took the normal swordmasters helmet but made all of it transparent except for the faceplate part. But for some reason when you zoom out the transparent part of the helmet pops in and becomes visible... so now I just need to work out how to delete the transparent part of the helmet.

As someone who's done 3D modelling could you suggest a simple tutorial by any chance?

Thanks again :)

That's strange. Sorry I couldn't help, hope you can figure something out!

For some reason when I remove any of the the imposter's from the variants_table it makes the game crash! Even if the game didn't crash though I'm not certain if this approach would have worked? From looking at the table it seems your solution works for whole unit imposters, but in my case it's just a helmet that is somehow linked to the wrong low poly model.

Thanks for taking the time to try and the help regardless though. I might try asking on TWCentre since this is turning out to be so surprisingly difficult!

ok I just checked, so what you want to do is go into the variants_table and make sure there is nothing in the "low poly file name" and "super low poly file name" tables for whatever unit you want to disable it on.

Amazing thank you!! So just to make sure I understand, you deleted the imposter .wsmodel file from the vanilla table?

ok i had a similar issue with my recent mod, what i ended up doing was deleting the imposter from one of the db tables, can't remember which one, might have been the variants table. This will make it where if you zoom out it will still keep the same model. It might have a bit of a performance dip on low end machines though. Im not sure how to actually replace them though.

Yep that's right. I am trying to use the face plate from the "Silverin Guard Reskin & Retexture" mod, but when I zoom out on any unit using the face plate the helmet suddenly turns into a big plumed swordmasters helmet. I've read this happens because the low poly imposter model doesnt match the high poly model, but when I set a new imposter model in the varient mesh it doesnt have any effect. Thanks for the help!

honestly i'm not sure, I don't think i've dealt with imposter models before? Is it only referenced in the variantmesh definition or elsewhere? Also if you can explain to me what it's function is I might get a better idea of how I can help. Just from the name I'm assuming it might have something to do with LODs?

You were right, thanks :) ... bonus unrelated question if you don't mind... I have been inspired by your work and am trying to do some modding myself, but having trouble with imposter models. Specifically the imposter of a helmet I'm using is totally wrong. I've tried updating "imposter_model=..." in the variant mesh definition but that doesn't have any effect. Do you know of any guides/tutorials which specifically cover how to fix imposter model issues?

must be a conflict with another mod

Hi JFred, love your work! I just subscribed to this mod and it worked, but all the armour is silver and only the helmets are the bronze colour. Any idea why this might be happening? Thnx

i have no plans to update this mod but i will be working on a new overhaul for the faction sometime next year so maybe you'll find something to your liking there?

Any chance of making the high elf princesses look more like the Prince and rest of the units?
They look awesome. Reminds me of Mirkwood elves from The Hobbit.

Hey, just like you and your opinion!

UGLY
its like giving all units the skin of tyrion.... useless and ugly
