Hi there! :)

Check out http://www.houseinverted.org The Official Website

I've so far reskinned 2 melee units' shields with my household logo of an Axe sable over azure (please dont correct my heraldic, i know i suck)

The files are .dds so just put them in folders named Knight and Swordsman in custom assets (i found out you have to create the actual unit named folders yerself)

I did these with Gimp 2.0 and they are my first skins ever in my life! :p

Here are the screens:

Thank you! :) enjoy

Here's the download zip containing a knight shield and horse, and a swordsman:

They look good :)

I love GIMP :thumbsup:

They turned out excellent. Nice work. And I love GIMP as well. Free and functional. :goodjob:

Thanks guys!

I am planning on next skinning Inverted Pikemen and maybe macemen, but i really want to be able to modify the models.

see what these were based upon...
http://www.houseinverted.org

but where are the unit files in civ iv. assets\art\?

okay, in assests0.fpk they are locked away and need to be unpacked. DONT MESS WITH THIS (shout for importance). drag the folders i created into "My Documents" "My Games" civilization Custom Assets \ Art (and you may need to create a folder in Art called "Units"
Put the swordsman and knight folders in there. basically, these folders supercede anything in the assets art .fpk file, but does not replace all of it. Like the knight folder in my .zip only has horse and shield, while the rest of the standard civ4 knight skins are okay and used from the non-custom folders.

maybe this will help you (read all posts and read carefully :p )

As for your new archer, hot pink is a tad on the interedting side for an archer you might say.;)

As for the new archer by Garret, I think that that is neat. The possibilities of the SDK are tantallizing though, do you have any ideas (or is that just for the internal programing, and I'm thinking of it wrong?:crazyeye:)

Well, unless Take Two releaseses the SDK today, they havent held up to their january release date of "some time in january" [pissed]
