Ok here is a native american archer I made by using the bowman and pasting the head of the mounted warrior onto it ...... its not the best .... but it works...

Ok here it is with the updated version of the Native american Bowman all the files neede to run it are in the zip as well as the sound files Hope you enjoy ......

Oh all the probs I had with it at first are fixed the head still bobs slightly but nothing like before :D

Hope a like the new one

Oh for those who are just now looking at this thread for the first time the unit is completed just hit the link in my first post to d/l it I had some probs with the anims at first but its all fixed :D And for those who d/l'd the old one the death and all the bowman sound files are included in that file for easy use just add him into the civ III edit and put the folder in with the other units and your ready to roll.

and last but not least part 4

I only included Run Default Fortify and attack I havent completed the death flc I should finish that tomorrow .... and will put the Ini file in tomorrow as well .... unfortunately I cant upload them all at once ..:(

Why four files??? There is easy upload feature (at the bottom of this page) where you can upload file of any size.

He's a bit nervous or has hick-up, but beside that it's a fine cut'n paste work. :)
Better than mine, that's for sure.

Nice Job!

does look nice, but I can't be arsed d/l 4 times. Could one of the 3 ppl who have downloaded it zip it up to 1 file and upload it?

this looks like a nice unit :goodjob: I'm always looking for native american units and this one looks great :)

Thanks Horse I appreciate it .... but like I said I dont feel its all that great Im gonna try and fix it up a bit but till then this will work ....

Varkasal, where did you get that avatar?

I'll use this as vanilla musketman (or in my case arquebusier) replacement. it saves someone the time of making it and leaves the early american civs with less european flavor.

Thanks! Another cool units.. But the bobbling head...

nice, execpt the arrow has some graphics bugs when he loading before firing:)

Hmmm.... just noticed this in the preview.

The East attack anim has a ghost arrow. He fires it and then it just stays there. is this due to the preview, me being stupid, or did he hit a small airborne insect?

It probably hit the east border... And then it stay there! Known pb with Flicster. The animation shall never touch the right limit of the frame, always give 2 pixels of transparent color here.

yea, please fix this varksal. great and useful unit.

Well As I said its not the best lol .... it needs work Im going to try to fix the head bobbing and the arrow problem though Im not quite sure why the arrow prob is there unless I doubled a frame :( and I'll try to get the death flc done today also though the bowman death flc works fine for it I tried it in game it doesnt look too bad but Ill try to finish it up today and fix it .... Also Im working on a Native american Spearman at the same time using the spear from the hiawatha King unit Im making this from scratch using the blank human model so we'll see....
Oh and Dom the Avatar is on the list its the hiawatha King unit .. :D

well steph said to make those 2 pixels transparent there. i don't know what the hell he's talking about but i'm pretty sure he can explain to you more what's wrong.

since you like scalping units and give em a featherhead i think it would be pretty cool if you start a trend and continue it.

someone else is adding turbans to every unit so you could reciprocate that with feathers (to a certain limit).

i suggest flavoring infantry units and then cav units.

That's a FLICSTER bug. In the storyboard, if you don't let two transparent pixels between the right edge and your animation, then you get a "ghost" of the animation : the part that touch the edge is copied in all the next frames.
This happens only with the right edge, and I don't know why.

Ok Hey Steph ..... Im having a prob Ive tried to fix the bobbing head been working on it for a few hours now ..... and ive even gone into paint and tried and I cant seem to get it right no matter what I try the head still does it .... Ive fixed the arrow probelem ... But cant fix the bobbing head :( any ideas short of making an entirely new anim...... I think the probelem is that the body moves too much in the anim and makes it look like the head is moving :(

:D Unfortunately still cant fix the head




Ignore this post ... the new Attack flc is now on the first post combined with all the other files except the death flc... which I still havent gotten to .... :(

I should have edited the first time .....

Ze small one

and le preview

I just may do that Shady ..... After all I like having flavor units for all the civs and hell if I can make all the native american ones Ill do just that .... Spearman archer Swordsman etc.... I think also Ill make one that throws Tomahawks :D

nice, to bad he has Parkinson desease..not really handy when you use bow & arrow:lol:

Varkasal, how did you get your avatar?

Zulu Like I told Dom its in the list for avatars ... I selected it

.... what unit is that avatar for? I've never seen it... :confused:

Its for the Iroquios King Unit its Hiawatha

Thats a really good looking unit, hopefully you can fix the head bob a little though.

Well the Head bob is pretty much gone now on the new one ...
Hope you enjoy it .... and if ya like this one check out the native american mounted archer I did :D
