Nice alternative to the default.

GeoModder · Oct 11, 2008

Or perhaps the onset of "cultural diverse" REF forces?

Chuggi · Oct 11, 2008

Would the French Musketeers graphic from CIV be accurate for the French REF?

GeoModder · Oct 11, 2008

Only in the discovery era.

This seems to be a picture of a French soldier in the 1750ties.

Looks good, I wouldn't have picked yellow for the French though.

GeoModder · Oct 11, 2008

Yeah, a bit further investigation learned me this was actually a grenadier of that era.
Seems like red-blue uniforms were more the thing of the French Expeditionary Force.
Check this google page for pics.

Buddy3101 · Oct 11, 2008

Well, I did a little Internet searching and found this:

http://www.diggerhistory.info/images/thru-ages/france02.jpg

http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/185532167X/ref=sib_dp_pt#reader-link

I always thought the color of the french troops would have been baby blue :confused:

GeoModder · Oct 11, 2008

Appearantly, red-and-blue was the naval uniform.

Chuggi · Oct 12, 2008

The amazon link Buddy found is probably right. :confused:

GeoModder · Oct 12, 2008

I concur.
Perhaps the pic I found first was more of an elite unit, or local militia uniform.

comtedemeighan · Oct 12, 2008

is there a way to use this unit for the English REF forces only?

GeoModder · Oct 12, 2008

I think the same method as in early Civ4 should work (UNITTYPE in CivilizationInfos + creating a proper unit class). I don't know if the BtS xml tags would be valid in C4C. At least, I haven't found an UnitArtStyleType tag yet.

I am really a beginner for this kind of thing.
Are there any tutorial link about how to add this lovely unit???

GeoModder · Oct 13, 2008

The post above yours tells you how to do it.
The only thing you need to do is create a mod folder, put the files you see above in the right folder structure in this mod folder, and add the xml code you see above in the correct file.
O yes, and the unit art too of course.

Martock · Oct 14, 2008

Ok...tried to add this unit to Age of Discovery II - which shouldn't be a problem as far as I can tell - and it crashes the game. I open up WB and try to add a british regular to the field to see if it shows up and I get an immediate CTD.

I DL'd the file, unzipped, any reason why this is named rotrock as opposed to UK_redcoat? Anyway, plopped this file down in the \Mods\AgeOfDiscoveryII\Assets\Art\Units directory with the other 'added' units. I then did as Buddy3101 stated by editing each file as shown in the list. Since I didn't see a single mention of rotrock, I suspected my first CTD was due to this, but I was wrong. I renamed the unit DIR from rotrock to UK_redcoat and restarted. Same thing. Any idea on what I'm doing wrong here? Am I supposed to be putting this unit in the main art\unit dir?

Just noticed in WB, the british version of this is called 'british regular' instead of regular...so in a way, there are 2 regulars in the WB now.

Martock · Oct 16, 2008

BUMP - little help would be nice.

Chuggi · Oct 17, 2008

There's a good chance it's your XML, not the unit. Post all the modified sections of XML in code tags, and see if anyone can help?

GeoModder · Oct 17, 2008

Martock, if you simply copied Buddy's xml from his post, there's at least one text error in it that could cause a crash.
