This is the light-weight, high-end AC from Armored Core 2: Another Age. I'm fairly happy with the animations, but the shadows are a bit dark. Also, it is unfortunately without sounds :(. Can someone please make some sounds for this guy, it would be very helpful. I'm just looking for the basic mech sounds, mechanical and such. I would use others, but I haven't found any that sync up with 'em properly.

The unit file is a freakish 1.88 mbs, without sound :eek:... I did have some long animations though.

Anyway, the preview is posted below. It goes AttackA->AttackB->AttackC...

UPDATED: I fixed the AttackA .flc, but I figured it'd be easier to just post that and the newer .ini as a seperate file. So, to update the unit, unzip the download, cut&paste the contents in the same folder, and say "Yes" when it prompts you to overwrite. Update attached below.

Vuldacon's temp .pcx's (http://forums.civfanatics.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=67499) Thanks again :D.

Looks awesome!! Btw, it's 09/05... ;)

Super. That's probably the best such unit I've seen.

Agreed... my ONLY complaint is the shadow and even that is not really offensive to the eye.

This thing is .M. .A. .D. mutually assured destruction: only one thing, it's too stationary. a bit more movement would make it even better.

:eek: :eek: Now thats fantastic...

Well, Kinboat made a mecha unit...I think that has sounds. You could also recycle tank and missile sounds for the attacks as another option.

Good work Yeti!

If you take requests, Mobilize and I have some, I'm sure Mobilize knows what I'm talking about...

Wow, thanks for all the comments :D. I actually rendered the shadows lighter, but apparently they were closer to the dark shadow color.

TO SOG: I have death and attackA, but I think I'll look into that. Thanks. About the requests, I still have to do the Lycon Cataphract, a number of other lycon units, and then I'd be completely free. I'm also making some units for a space mod I might do. Long story short, I'll take some requests, but I'll have to work on them in between the others (that's what I did with this one :) ).

Thankyou Yeti...Mobilize and I could really use some help with the Gundam Mod(A FAR-away goal), noone else wants to make the units.

I think the only orginal sound that this unit really needs is a mech walk sound(Stomp...Stomp...Stomp)

HOLY SNIZZZZLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

....now i have to reconfigure my tech tree again..

Awesome. The shadow isn't that bad, I wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't have pointed it out.
Great work!

Being an Armored Core fan I have to say nice work, although the hips/legs seem a bit wider.

Wow. This is indeed quite good. :wow:

Looks Excellent A Viking Yeti :goodjob: Great Attacks!
I noticed that you did not have pcx files so I made a CIV Specific units_32.pcx and the Large and Small .pcx file for you. Best I could do from the Default animation file but hope these will work for you until you can render some better Large and Small .pcx files.

...here is the Zip:

TO SOG: I can't seem to find any good explosion sounds that would sync up with the rifle or chest cannons... Aside from those (which can be substituted until I can get my hands on some better ones), the walk is probably the only one that does, as you said. I'll probably post an updated .ini with some linked sounds for now.

If it's so far away that that a dash and capitalization are necessary, then yeah, I'll have plenty of time (probably :p). Plus, I love doing Mech units... Only done two so far, but they are much easier to model, and I like the way they look.

TO Stonebear: Yeah, I thought about that half way through the animations, but decidedit would be too much work to redo, and no one except AA2 fans would notice (I barely notice :D).

TO Vuldacon: Oh yeah, I forgot all about those :rolleyes:. I'll put those up, until I render some myself. Thanks a lot, I never would've noticed :).

Are the Weapons Laser or Bullets?

Bullets, but the firing is quicker than any of the normal Civ 3 units (AFAIK, that is).

They looked like bullets to me Vuldacon, but only Yeti knows for certain.

http://www.planetsmilies.com/smilies/confused/1/confused52.gifNow that is excellent! :goodjob:

BTW, what method did you use for the muzzle flashes?

I just used a flat, jagged model, crossed it at a 90 degree angle, gave it luminous, and added the glow effect to 'em in the animator. They're sinlge frame flashes (I would think 2 or more would be too long)... In fact, all the attack flashes use the exact same model in the same position too, I just resized 'em. Talk about lazy, huh? :D

Thanks, I thought they were Bullet type Weapons but wanted to make sure. The Glow Affect Really Looks Great with Attack C.

Whatever works I'd say... :goodjob:

TO Vuldacon: Thanks :)... I'm thinking about doing an alternate with a machine gun... Maybe some other alterations. I want to see how a lot of really fast shots looks... In-game, that is :evil:.

TO SOG: Yeah, definitly :D.

That looks quite impressive. And I think your right about one frame flashes... That's all they should be.

Hi A Viking Yeti

I just looked through all the animations, and they are done well. However, there is a sequence that will look strange.

Before fighting, a unit always goes into fortify.

So when making units, Attack A should start from the finished fortify position, or else in game, the transition will look strange.
This unit's fortify has him crouch down into a nice hunkered position...

what are the chances of getting the three attacks in that position?

:D

Other than a *maybe* smoother shadow, this unit is awesome. Congrats, you really did a great job.

TO Neomega: Hmm... I see what you're saying, and I think I could do that... Doesn't sound too hard... I think. I'll try in a bit, not much time though. Thanks for pointing that out to me, never would've notice (at least not for a long time anyway).

TO SpincruS: That and the attack error :p... But, thanks anyway :D.

Well it goes straight into my new personal mod :)

Cool :D. I'll try and get those new attack animations done as quickly as I can.

While you're at it, include something-- anything-- for sounds. The unit is only half completed without sounds.

Otherwise, great job! :goodjob: I'm planning to use it as a Yakatizma unit in my own mod. If you don't provide any sounds, I'll post something myself since I intend to use it in my mod anyway.

I was planning on it (putting in sounds)... At the moment, I'm trying to get a different unit to work (still trying to animate, but the renderer is being pissy).

K, uploaded the corrected AttackA and linked to some more sounds... Check post 1 for the updated files.

Sweet, just like the game, gotta get down to use the shoulder mount.

Yeah, that's just what I was thinking (unless you have the treads :mischief: )...

Thanks for the Update A Viking Yeti...Much better :goodjob:

Great! Thanks! :goodjob:

Nice unit, could be a replacment to mech infantry, or an upgrade from

I'm going to use it my mod has an upgrade from mech infantry

(In respective order) You're welcom, you're welcome, and thanks... I was gonna use it for an upgrade from either mech inf, or the modern tank, but mech infantry sounds better :p.

An awesome unit Yeti. Are you doing any more mechs? If so could you do an agrimech please.

Daaannngg!! That is quiet good.
