This is my first and failed attempt to re-skin a warrior unit.

its good for a ghost unit actually

looks more zombie-like than ghost-like

ok
undead unit, and leave it at that ;)

That's perfect, I'll rename the unit to unded warrior.

Pretty scary guys!!! ;)
But great for my beloved fantasy mods!

great. glad i could help. you might wanna edit the first post so it doesnt say that this is a failed attempt :)

Na; it was a failed attempt to make a skeleton warrior, so I’ll leave it as is. This re-skin only took about 5 minuets to make, but because of the mistakes learned from this, I now know what to do for others.

is it possible to make this a unique unit? i ask because im a noob, but want a zombie invasion scenario for myself, and all i need is the proper unit ;)

Depends on who you assign it to.

It's bizarre, but in a good way.

is it possible to add a transparent skin, so that you can see only a skeleton ?

Transparent skins don't work to well in 3D. You cannot put depth into skins and so everything must be on the surface. If (for example) you had a transparent hat, looking down on it vertically would allow you to see the ground through the person, but looking at it horizontally it could just look like a guy without a hat.

right, so there is no workaround for a new 3D mesh :sad:

Not using textures. If I can figure out how to use the *.nif files (which I think holds the mesh) then making a skeleton or a torn corps would be easy with 3ds Max.

i hope someone finds an easy way to add your own models soon, my milkshape is just rumbling with anticipation to mod civ 4...

it looks slightly like a zombie, no offense but it's just ok.

I have a semi-transparent unit in my mod (the Shadow). I could make parts of him transparent and parts solid, but I wouldn't be able to new elements (like bones) inside of him. At that point it would be easier just to make a new model.
