MiG -21

nautil · Mar 26, 2006

It's time for next episode of MIG series

And it is MIG -21 .

As always the unit comes with animation and sounds of ingame jetfighter.
I used quite a alot polygons on this one, about 1400, and almost half of this polygons was spent on armament, so probably i'l make a lightened version, void of all rockets and bombs.
The unit comes with russian insignia, but later i'll upload a generic and an extra silver skin.
Next , most surely, will be MiG-23 or 25
Enjoy !

P.S. How to add new units guide
P.S.S. If anyone, wish and feel he is capable to help me to organize all my models into tidy little mod ( I think basic/intermediate knowledge in XML wil be enough) please PM me

here generic skin for MiG 21

Rabbit_Alex · Mar 26, 2006

Very nice yet again nautil :goodjob:

snafusmith · Mar 26, 2006

Very nice. I've been meaning to ask you though, where do you get your skins from?

Rabbit, White · Mar 26, 2006

Oh man, this baby looks awfully sweet!

This has got to be the crispest texture to date. With 1400 polygons this beaut' looks all the 14,000 polygons.

Excellent work as always :goodjob:

Im integrating this unit in my mod, and can place the model on the map with world builder and it is funtional in all respects. But when i tell a city to build it, the game crashes to desktop. im trying to release my big update, but the game keeps crashing!

Strange, did you have such problem with any of my other airplanes ? i'll check what is wrong with this model.

GarretSidzaka · Apr 5, 2006

no i didnt, but my xml could be shoddy too.

GarretSidzaka · Apr 5, 2006

okay, FYI nautil, im getting the same 'crash to desktop when selected for build' from the ACV by rabbitwhite. which i also installed today. but what did i mess up with on the code, i wonder? my artdefines or my unitinfos...??

follow the check list:

custom assets\xml\art\CIV4ArtDefines_Unit (make sure you added the unit right)
if its wrong then this could do it. I've had this problem before.

next:

custom assets\art\units (make sure the uits there)

next:
"CIV4UnitClassInfos" (make sure its here) also "CIV4UnitInfos"

there is no problem with the unit I am able to build it and use it

GarretSidzaka · Apr 5, 2006

you know what i think i did wrong:

after trying many things, i reverted the button file to vannilla buttons, works fine now. LOL your model is perfect as ususa nautil! i just must have messed up the button file!!

Rabbit, White · Apr 5, 2006

GarretSidzaka, did it fix the problem with the ACV as well?

Klyde182 · Apr 5, 2006

Looking good there Nautil :cool:

But do you think you could do one up in the chinese color?
the chinese have been locally producing the Mig-21 under the name J-7
the first pic is a J-7A which is a direct copy of the Mig-21 the other 3 are J-7Bs, the main difference is the canopy lifting the next are J-7E. From the J-7B up to J-7H are completely chinese's redesigns of the Mig-21.
The G model has a whole new Canopy, as everything inside being new. The G is still in use with the PLAAF and is also sold for export to some 3rd world counrties like Iran and Pakastan. The H model is Strictly used by the Navy and is still very much inuse today the major Diff between the G & H, the H has a refueling Boom to the Right-front-side of the Canopy.
So Nautil what da ya think?
P.S. if you need i can post some more pics or G model pics.

Crighton · Apr 5, 2006

yes please do post a naval version skin for this

[whispers to self: Muahahahaahaha]

GarretSidzaka · Apr 5, 2006

yeah i did. i was off by a couple pixels in button size for some reason. this causes the selection crash

Well Crighton PLAAFN version is a LandBase Fighter not a Carrier capable fighter.
but i don't have any pic of the J-7H version but i'll post some J-7G's the last one is a J-7E but i posted it for the Navy Grey and the Markings
Enjoy

Interesting airplane, but honestly, i doubt it gonna be high priority in my "to do list" , since with given game scale models are so tiny that the slight difference in canopy is almost unnoticeable. Nevertheless i don't say that i wont do it all, i just need to find couple of free hours. Or maybe some of the forum mambers wish to do this model, then i'll gladly send him all necessary files.
