New units_32 for Sandris units

T-mun · Dec 4, 2010

UPDATED 10/01/11

Hi all,
Have you ever tried to paste one of the units_32 files coming with each of Sandris new unit and see it getting screwed up on your own big units_32 ? All the civ-blue getting weird ? Well, this is a palette problem. I didn't correct it.
I had another idea : I wanted to have these units in the same position as the original files from Firaxis (default position), and civcolored, in the city view.

So here's what I did : export a storyboard of each unit in red civ-color and cut and paste the first pic of the SW strip into a new pic, reduced it, pasted it into the original unit_32 and then again pasting it into a new file and saved as pcx. Why red ? Because red means civ-color for the unit_32 file.

Update: I've decided to clean up things and keep them tidy, so I moved the files a little from one post to an other.
Each .pcx file moved had 20 to 30 download.

See the library underneath to know where things are.

Here they come, starting with Rome...

As you can see I merged the "Early Roman", "Pre-Republican Rome" and the "Early Republican Rome" units packs.

And here's the Roman Mercenary Sagius.

T-mun · Dec 4, 2010

Byzantine Units (3 packs).

Sandris · Dec 4, 2010

Looks good so far.

I like that view position.
Indeed, I`ve used wrong palettes for my unit_32 files.

T-mun · Dec 4, 2010

That's ok, I can correct them

I corrected the units I am actually using, and you will see there is a LOT of them

Edit: don't get me wrong, I love these units and that's why I am correcting them. I wouldn't loose my time on a bad unit.

T-mun · Dec 4, 2010

A little mix : Anglo-Saxons, Vikings and Franks:

T-mun · Dec 4, 2010

Scythians, Slavic...

T-mun · Dec 4, 2010

Continuing with some Rus... + the Slavic Worker (no preview for this one).

And then the Mongols:

Actually, themanSandrisneeds, I would post these in the original unit threads and link to that post on the database. That way people who looking at Sandris's units can find your hard work.

T-mun · Dec 4, 2010

Dark Age Ostrogoths and Medieval Italy...

...and the Visigoths (the Spanish Medieval Unit pack is coming soon).

I have thought about it, but then I would have to bump thousands of old threads and that could be annoying to many people I guess... I thought I would bump just one or two of them.

T-mun · Dec 4, 2010

Medieval Settler and Worker:

and here come the late Generic packs:

Goldflash · Dec 4, 2010

It is perfectly acceptable to bump threads with new content. I don't think anyone would be annoyed by your good work. I know I'm not.

Haven't I proposed to marry you before?

T-mun · Dec 4, 2010

...followed by the rest of the Generic European units.

@Goldflash: I should've kept on saying "please wait" :lol:

Well, maybe you're right. For the wedding, I don't have much time but let's find a place somewhere between France and Tortuga Island

And don't ask me to wear the wedding dress :nope:

T-mun · Dec 5, 2010

I'll be doing more in the near future, I hope I could post them during the coming week. The main drawback to this position is that, looking SE, all the spearmen look the same. To correct this (if anyone wants them), I may make some unit_32 where they look SW so you could see their shields and identify them better.

Goldflash · Dec 5, 2010

Yeah, I'm thinking that the SW facing Spearmans would be better. Ease of identification is paramount.

T-mun · Dec 5, 2010

Ok. I'll try making a special "Goldflash paramount series". Consider it as a wedding present

The big problem with Unit32 is that the palette contains very few blue colours.

So if the unit is supposed to be blue and not as a civ colour, you cannot get a really nice unit32.

So I'm using a different approach in my mod.
I copy all the unit32 in a true colour Unit32.cpx large sheet, then I remove all the shadows, and I reduce the colours afterward to 160 colours (not using the civ coloured part of the palette)

True. The other big problem is that a unit wearing red clothes will have a civ-colored unit32. At this size it may not be noticed however.
