Title: Armoured Archer Skinpack
Post by: Jubal on July 28, 2019, 08:37:58 PM: THE ARMOURED ARCHER SKINPACK

So, I've had this idea knocking around in my head for a while - the game's basic archer is a light ranger-type archer, but why not produce an archer that's more of an armoured medieval soldier type? As such, here he is, with a metal helmet and a neck-covering and torso armour of scale mail, with a red colour theme on his quiver arrows and sleeves. I think he fits pretty well with the original game's textures, and could also work well alongside e.g the Avtandil skin from my Knight In Panther Skin skinpack (https://exilian.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=5214.0) if you want a general low-medieval overhaul of how your SoaW should look. Hope you like it!

More armour is nice when you unexpectedly find yourself in a war zone!

Out in the deserts, an armoured mounted archer is the king of warriors...

...as some of these unfortunate bandits are about to find out!

INSTALL

1. Navigate to: Steam/steamapps/common/Son of A Witch/Witch.app/contents/resources/gfx/archer
2. MAKE A COPY of the "archer.png" file (call it something like archer_green)
3. Paste the archer_armoured.png contained in the zip file (attached to this post, below) into the folder, and rename it to "archer.png".
4. If you want to switch back to the normal green archer, just switch the filenames back round.

As with all modpacks this is an unofficial project, released for free and downloaded/used entirely at the user's own risk.

Imagine if you could create a custom adventure where you can replace some of the default graphics and lock some drops and write custom dialogue. Would something like that be interesting?

(What game mode are these on? I don't recognise the room layouts, and you have the undead pig/tapir in forest level...)

Obviously edited some of the regular levels. You can get undead pig in the catacombs and then use /shop or similar command to teleport back to the forest (it wraps around).

And huh, never realised it wrapped around, I'd not tried that. Interesting!
