More nice stuff. Thanks danrell.

Quality stuff again, danrell. :goodjob:

As usual A+ work - Firaxis should learn from you how to make units :)

beautiful...
may i use these in the arda mod?

beautiful...

Yes,ok------

Wow those chariots are splendid :).

Great work, I love the shield you made.

Those are very nice. Its interesting to compare your units to the ones in the picture you provided, and there area lot of simimlarities. Great work!

Wow, I'm going to be able to use these in my Earth 1000AD scenario.

My goodness there units are beautiful! I'm truly in awe.

danrell - I'm missing something terribly easy. I can't get my new "Celtic Swordsman" unique unit class to use your Teutonic Swordsman graphics. Well, it's not your fault. I know how to do mod nearly everything - except actually being able to get new graphics used for units.
Can you help me?

:goodjob: This makes me want to finish the Northern Crusades mod I began so long ago...

As I listed a little further up - I'm just missing one detail. How to name the files and have the associated with the xml files... I've got everything else done... Help me finish! :)

http://www.jeffpinard.com/Celtic%20Swordsman%201.jpg

plays out correctly in game too (except when I go to move it locks up because of the pink guys):

http://www.jeffpinard.com/Celtic%20Swordsman%202.jpg

OK.. changed the filenames back to what the were and I'm not exactly getting what is pictured. When you say use swordsman animation... are you saying copying swordsman animation files to that directory? Or just use the swordsman text from Civ4ArtDefines_Unit.xml with just the Maceman.nif renamed in the xml?

The only time I've gotten anything close to what you have is when I used xml from the Charlemagne mod. But the shield had really bad clipping over the bottom of the unit's robes. Can you please help? Maybe even post the appropriate xml section?

This is the only thing that got me close:

... and is that shadow file correct? <ShadowNIF>Art/Units/01_UnitShadows/HorseShadow.nif</ShadowNIF>

Last but not least. How did you get such a nice shot of all the spearman lined up and in formation?

I see your from Hong Kong. My sister lives in Suzhou and speaks Mandarin as a second language... so I understand :)

So how did you get the spearman all lined up so nicely? (see pic)

http://www.jeffpinard.com/Spearman.png

You have them in a formation I never see in-game.

You can add my CIV4FormationInfos.xml in XML\Units,
then open CIV4UnitInfos.xml to edit this:

<iGroupSize>------"how many units"
and
<FormationType>------"FORMATION_TYPE_A to FORMATION_TYPE_E"

e.g.
<UnitMeshGroups>
<iGroupSize>9</iGroupSize>
<fMaxSpeed>1.75</fMaxSpeed>
<fPadTime>1</fPadTime>
<iMeleeWaveSize>9</iMeleeWaveSize>

Will your formations file make all the formations nice and cool like that? Or just the Teutonic Knights I added?

Danrell - Are you sure you've got the right pikeman.nif in the zip? I feel almost positive I have everything correct and it's still showing up as the old pikeman.

Here's what I have:

* Pikeman_German folder renamed to Celts_Pikeman
* That folder is dropped in the \\CustomAssets\art\units\\ directory
* Here's the text I added for the Civ4ArtDefines_Unit.xml

Everything else is fine. It's an additional UU for the Celts, same stats as Pikeman, it shows up in the Civpedia correctly etc. Just the pikeman model is still the old one.

I don't know also , perhaps needn't add this one ;)

One question are they teuton or templar?

These are amazing!

Hi, this may be a stupid question but i am kinda new to this stuff. Which one of the art files do you use for this part

<NIF>Assets/Art/Units/Archer_German/archer.nif.nif</NIF>
<KFM>Art/Units/Archer/Archer.kfm</KFM>
<SHADERNIF>Assets/Art/Units/Archer_German/MountedInfantry_128.nif</SHADERNIF>

I can figure out the NIF one but the other two I have no clue. I am using the Teuton Units but I am unable to figure out which image i am suppose to use. Can anyone clear this up for me, I would be extremly grateful. I am trying to the Archer one right now if that helps any.

<NIF>Assets/Art/Units/Archer_German/archer.nif.nif</NIF>
<KFM>Art/Units/Archer/Archer.kfm</KFM>
<SHADERNIF>Assets/Art/Units/Archer_German/MountedInfantry_128.nif</SHADERNIF>

Change to :

<NIF>Assets/Art/Units/Archer_German/archer.nif</NIF>
<KFM>Art/Units/Archer/Archer.kfm</KFM>
<SHADERNIF>Assets/Art/Units/Archer_German/archer.nif</SHADERNIF>

okay thanks alot

Okay now i have another problem, the units don't show up the way they should in the game. They look like the old ones, not the cool Teuton ones. Here is just one of my art defines xml, maybe there is something wrong...

Thanks for these units danrell, I like them so much I started learning how to edit the CIV xml files in order to add them :)

As other people who want to use them will have to go through the same steps, I decided to post a mod here which replaces all the standard civs with alternatives which use your units.

If you are iterested in it, get it here (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=240115)

All units are included, so you do not need to download them separately.
