Warning, it's a RAR (http://www.rarlab.com/) file

Should be a "grrr" file...didn't you learn anything from the Frosties ads?

did you make the whole model or is this just a skin for a civ 4 animal?

I greatly appreciate the work, just one thought though.
I have yet to try modding myself, but having heard how much "moddable" Civ 4 is I was surprised by pretty complicated process of installation of this tiger skin. Is it how modding look like in Civ 4?

This installation is not that complex. You need to edit 4 files and it's just copy/paste. I've mostly done the job for you. Civ-IV lacks an editor, so you have to do the job yourself.

ShiroKobbure > It's a new skin for the Panther model. Afaik, nobody cracked the CIV-4 .nif files yet.

Thanks for the comments!

The Mole, could you at least add something nice about this unit before pushing your request through my throat ?

Great, the unit making started... Now I have to spend loads of cash to upgrade my computer, and buy the friggin game, and I`ve just learned how to balance Civ3 and the rest of my life... Thanks a bunch! ;)
BTW, the unit is awesome. :D

sorry it came out wrong... it was meant to be a quasi serious thing... as apposed to being pushy. I kinda thought youd just ignore it.
The unit looks great, but i dont even have civ IV yet, so its a bit moot on my part.

Nice... Although I do admit that it looks like it has glowy eyes in the BMP picture.

One problem I encounter is where to put the Unit and Interface/button folders after the D/L, the instructions included says nothing about that :sad: ?

You've had to decompress the whole RAR file (Grrr ;)) in the (chosen) Assets directory. If it's done correctly, the files should go in the right folders.

If there is a problem, the files must be placed like this :
Assets
|-Art
| |-Interface
| | |-Button
| | | |-Supa_Resource_Atlas.dds
| |-Units
| | |-Tiger
| | | |-Everything else

I don't know if it's very clear typed like this.

Thanks to CrazyAce's comment, I noticed a big error in the archive. I forgot to put one folder!

You can download the fixed version or move all the files placed in Art\units\ to Art\units\Tiger. Like you can see, it's a very stupid error :)

Damned. I was modifying the first post when the server blew up and now, it's gone.

I placed the files into the Documents directory because I didn’t want to mess with the Firaxis directory yet.


Ok umm this is where I placed the Tiger unit:

…\My Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\CustomAssets\art\Units\tiger


The button is placed into:

…\ My Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\CustomAssets\art \Interface\Button

The text files I placed into:

…\My Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\CustomAssets\xml


I just hope this works.

Oh also tiger_button.dds is included into the Units\Tiger folder, should this be in there..?

Because I was editing the first message of this thread when the forum was updated a few days ago and somehow, this message got lost. :sad: Thunderfall couldn't make it reappear so I created a second thread.
