Compatibility:

Does NOT play well with R.E.D. or Ethnic Units. - The rest, I don't know, have to test it more, that is where you come in.

Reserved for future use

Whoa. Two questions:

1. How does this jive with R.E.D. Modpack?
2. If one uses custom civilizations, does the mod contain "generic" models/skins for regional civilizations? So if I'm using the India Civilization Pack, would all four of them receive the stuff that the stock India civilization would receive? Would the stuff that Brazil/Mayans/Aztecs/Incans receive be applied to Latin American custom civilizations like Argentina/Chile?

#1 - It's not compatible with RED, due to the required companion mod Advanced Air Units having a DLL mod. (I do have a non-dll modified version of AAU, check Civfanatics or Steam page) - From what I've been told when my mod and RED are together, that a few graphical glitches occur because I don't shrink my units (I don't like the look of ants fighting ants) - Please feel free to try it out - you might have to disable the DLL file in either my mod or the RED modpack (I use WHoward's DLL, Version 66 in AAU)

#2 - I'm honestly not sure if it will work. I have some limited support for Canada, Israel and Australia as Civ's. I have some code in the mod that will do somethings after a custom civ is loaded (has to do with Air flavors with the AI) --- that may force those civ's to use my units, IF the civ's use the default civilization name. For instance India is called India in game, if the custom mod names India something else like India2 or GhandiGoodness then it would not work.
I have very few generic units for all civs, but I do have some out there (Amphibious ships, helicopters that can deploy on those ships, and the helo's for cruisers/destroyers are all Generic)
Your best bet is to test it out and see if works with your rig and set-up, and please post your feedback.

Hmm, alright. I figured the answer to my first question would be as such.

As for the second thing - are there not regional identifiers for every civilization? Meaning how their city styles appear and all (architecture)? Wouldn't that match up for a regional identifier of the civilization itself and its units? I'll definitely try it out.

There are regional art styles for every civ. for instance American has

<ArtStyleType>ARTSTYLE_EUROPEAN</ArtStyleType>

That is just for their buildings/cities art, not so much for Units.

The mod is awesome as always labriejp, one question though I was trying to merge ANU with AAU using "WHoward's Mod Tools" and for some reason it won't merge, are there any double up files within the 2 mods perhaps, I know when I've merged AAU with other mods it merges seamlessly
for eg ethnic unit, blood and iron and AAU. any ideas labriejp

side note
I'm not having any probs with tech tree or anything for that matter

onmy - well, ANU has a dependency on AAU set in the .modinfo file, it requires it because it uses some of the classes, sql, promotions and other things in AAU that are not independent in ANU.

If you could isolate those dependencies they would probably merge just fine.. maybe try removing the dependency in the modinfo file first and try to merge again, I'm not sure if that will work or not as I don't use that tool.

The mod is pretty big, so for me to isolate just 1 thing causing an error would be difficult.

Can't use it but may download to look for new units.

Ok Thanks labriejp, apparently the "ReloadAudioSystem" is set to "1" within the "modinfo" of ANU and it would not merge because of this so I set it to "0" and it merged, I have no idea why and I have no idea whether this will affect the game, but it merged so onwards and upwards, thanks labriejp

HI labriejp

I was having play with your ANU using really advanced setup, and your "force recon marine" is huge, so I checked the "UnitForceReconMarine888.xml" file and the scale is set to 1.7, I have since changed it to 0.14 now don't know if that was set to that for reasons I'm unaware of, but thought I'd give you a heads up just incase it wasn't

@onmy6 - nice job. I should change that, as I didn't add any new audio with ANU (just with AAU).

As far as the force recon marine, you might have some duplicate art in one of your mods. When I added the unit in game, it was super tiny, like a flea.. I had to increase it's size to 1.7 to get it to the average size of other units.

If you have a duplicate type of art with the same name but was resized in the 3d modeling process then that should be why the unit appears huge. If you do please let me know, I would rather include the correct sized art so my unit would work universally across all mod platforms, even with duplicate art assets.

Hi labriejp

Ok interesting makes sense I had a look through my mods and found this, It is from the "Mechanized Infantry with Soldiers (v 2)" mod but not the one where he rescaled the soldiers down, from the original one when he had the soldiers big comparatively to the mech unit, so this should work, link below and art files only

https://mega.co.nz/#!nR5CWCBT!rSeIlvvq55c6updfvhnAfe0Al41Aj4OT0uBxvmWw8PM

Hey can you make this R.E.D compatable please,I can't stand the
regular sizes of units.

hello Labriejp

I noticed that you left the .blend, .jpg and .psd files in your mod. You don't need them, you could remove them to make the mod lighter in size.

Whoever was the nelly who thought it was funny to order a take down notice to mega for the above file for copyright infringement, grow up and get a life it's not funny and it's not cool.

@Kinorov - This will never be red compatible, the mods are far too different to mesh together nicely, plus I don't like super crazy small units like in RED.. I like mine regular sized. Merging with RED is more than just making my units smaller (that's the easy part) it's everything else RED mudpack has going on that makes it hard to merge.

@Hulfgar - nice, thanks for the tip, I'll make sure I get those files out. I wasn't sure if the .blend files had to remain in or not.

@onmy6 - damn, I didn't even get a chance to look at it before mega took it down.. maybe try dropbox or something similar.

sorry about that, I always forget to update this site after updating the mod. Until I get a chance to update it (I'm at work) a working link is on the Steam Workshop page for the mod.
