My video card doesn't have the problem so I don't know what units are broken but I think I know how to fix them. Could someone who sees "pink" graphics on units provide a list of the ones they see it on. Users that have this problem should have had an issue with Magnadine up until the latest version.

Kael, I saw this on the changelog thread, and don't know if it still can help you. I did some tests about it (I have the issue) and it looks like it is a problem with the "Freeze Animations" options.

For some reason, if I freeze them, the Elven Scout get fixed but the Elven Warrior get screwed. I can do some more tests if you need.

I suspect it is the same issue. It should be fixed in 0.16. Let me know if you see the problem with any units that arent listed as fixed int he changelog.

Kael, do you want a list of pseudo-invisible units and a list of units that only have the right graphics when they are in movement, otherwise they are only recolored units?

Yeah, definitly.

Graveborn.

The Graveborn unit isn't pink, but the little picture-icon of them (the one that comes up to say 'Enemy Spotted In Your Land', for example) is.

Aside the pink units, I experience two types of graphical problem: invisible man wannabes and cross-dressers.

Invisible Man Wannabes:
Pyre Zombie (he is a large flame with a floating club ... looks like a psionic elemental not an undead)
Fire Elemental and Life Spark(truly an invisible man)
Bone Golem and Skeleton(Floating Skull, Sword and Shield)
Elven Immortal (only his helmet and shoulder armor is visible)
Sect of Flies (Flying Axes)
Elven Macemen (similar to elven immortal)

Crossdresser: (All these units change his wardrobe when it moves, most looks like a recolored version version of the base unit when static and when it moves it shows his true self, I will call this below as average)
Kikijub (Great Commander when static)
Elven Rider (Looks like a recolored Horse Archer, but when he crossdress he becomes a floating helmet and large-bladed spear, invisible wannabe and a crossdresser)
Grigori Medic (normal when static, a floating head when he moves, maybe he has a retractable body ... )
Malakim Chariot (similar to Elven Rider ...)
Gipsy Wagon (Survival Technique, when static is only a chariot, but when it moves it becomes a Gipsy Wagon)
Paladin (average problem)
Basium (similar to Elven Rider ... )
Guardsman (average)
Executioner (average)
Barnaxus (looks always like a swordsman)
Vampire Lord (average)
Elven Paladin (average)
Dragonslayer (normal unit, but his sword floats near him, cool psionic unit if intentional ...)
Boarding Party (average)
Hippus and Doviello War Elephant (average)
Hippus Longbowman and Crossbowman (ghost helm, the original hat reappers when he walks)
Einherjar (multiplying swords, static only a floating sword and shield shrouded by greenish yellow gas, when he walks there is two swords)
Hippus Hunter (average)
Svaltalfar Horsemen (average)
Raider (average)
Brigand (average)
All Lizardmen (when he is static he is a green-skinned swordsman, when he walks he becomes a pseudo chamaleon and only a new lizard like head and tail, and the weapon of choice are visible)

I hope it helps

That is so weird. I may shoot you an updated file and see how many of these it fixes if you dont mind.

Try the attached in place of your current Civ4ArtDefines_Unit.xml and let me know how many of those issues it fixes.

The following units work now perfectly:

Hippus Hunter
Hippus Crossbowman
Boarding Party
Elven Paladin
Grigori Medic
Vampiure Lord


New Old Invisibles: (defect units that I didn't catch in the last batch)
Orc Spearman

New Old Crossdressers:

The rest is the same ...
