Hi, how are you?
I like it although the barrel thing should be bronze

Great job woodelf! Thank you so much.
I think you should be promoted to a 3ds max noob lvl2 now
About the barrel color, bronze is definitely more correct up to say the mid 16th century or so. From there the current color is ok too. Since I'm going to be using both I plan on just changing the skin to a bronze color for one of them. Should take about 2 minutes.

You're welcome Gunner. The pic was a huge help. It should be easy to skin, but if not let me know. I'm still learning the unwrapping and texturing.
Maybe tomorrow I'll go to lvl2, but I'd feel wrong jumping from noob to lvl2 in 1 day!

Ok, I'm adding in a bunch of units this morning so I should be able to tell you in a bit.
I've just gotta keep telling myself that XML is fun, and then hopefully it will come true

Well it seems that there is a bit of a problem. I'll just give you some pictures:

I set it to use the artillery animations and sounds. Here is the relavent xml code I used:
Maybe I did it wrong. Woodelf, could you try to get it in the game yourself and see if it turns out the same?

this certainly puts a damper on level 2. Are both dds files in the Bombard folder you must have created? I'm not sure about ShadowDef and TrailDefinition since I don't recall ever using them. I'll be home in 2 hours to try it.

Both .dds files are in the folder. What I did was copy the xml entries for the artillery and then just replace the <NIF> and <SHADERNIF> with your nif.
I've looked through for typos and such but haven't found any so far. Even so, there is a very good chance that I messed up somewhere.

Gunner, can you try this:
Change:
<SHADERNIF>Art/Units/Bombard I/Bombard_FX.nif</SHADERNIF> to
<SHADERNIF>Art/Units/Bombard I/Bombard.nif</SHADERNIF>
Maybe removing that _FX will help. I seem to remember that being an issue with new models.

Hey! We've got some progress.
It has the same pink texture when I open it up in NifViewer too.
It also looks like you forgot to rotate it too

Hi, how are you?
What did you do wrong?woodelf said:Boy, I hope you don't change your vote on me being lvl2 worthy Gunner, but this was my fault.
Here's a pic in game
I'll exchange the old d/l in the file database with the correct, turned version.

And now you better do some animations for this thing and afterwards you create the Mortar for the WH mod, then I´ll directly vote for you to be promoted to Lvl 3
Now I got an idea, maybe I´ll start a new thread where people can vote if you should be promoted
