More nice stuff. Thanks danrell.

[GeoModder]

Quality stuff again, danrell.

[asioasioasio]

As usual A+ work - Firaxis should learn from you how to make units

Yes,ok------

[Zuul]

Wow those chariots are splendid .

[Chuggi]

Great work, I love the shield you made.

[esnaz]

Those are very nice. Its interesting to compare your units to the ones in the picture you provided, and there area lot of simimlarities. Great work!

[The Navy Seal]

Wow, I'm going to be able to use these in my Earth 1000AD scenario.

[jpinard]

My goodness there units are beautiful! I'm truly in awe.

[jpinard]

danrell - I'm missing something terribly easy. I can't get my new "Celtic Swordsman" unique unit class to use your Teutonic Swordsman graphics. Well, it's not your fault. I know how to do mod nearly everything - except actually being able to get new graphics used for units.
Can you help me?

[ArbitraryGuy]

This makes me want to finish the Northern Crusades mod I began so long ago...

[jpinard]

As I listed a little further up - I'm just missing one detail. How to name the files and have the associated with the xml files... I've got everything else done... Help me finish!



plays out correctly in game too (except when I go to move it locks up because of the pink guys):

[jpinard]

OK.. changed the filenames back to what the were and I'm not exactly getting what is pictured. When you say use swordsman animation... are you saying copying swordsman animation files to that directory? Or just use the swordsman text from Civ4ArtDefines_Unit.xml with just the Maceman.nif renamed in the xml?

The only time I've gotten anything close to what you have is when I used xml from the Charlemagne mod. But the shield had really bad clipping over the bottom of the unit's robes. Can you please help? Maybe even post the appropriate xml section?

This is the only thing that got me close:

		<UnitArtInfo>
			<Type>ART_DEF_UNIT_CELTS_SWORDSMAN</Type>
			<Button>,Art/Interface/Buttons/Units/Worker.dds,Art/Interface/Buttons/Charlemagne_Atlas.dds,2,2</Button>
			<fScale>0.42</fScale>

				<ShadowAttachNode>BIP Pelvis</ShadowAttachNode>

			<TrainSound>AS2D_UNIT_BUILD_UNIT</TrainSound>

				<AudioRunTypeEnd/>

		</UnitArtInfo>

and here's the result:

Perfect! Ohhhh, I was so close too! Thanks for coming in and saving my sanity. As I said in your other threads... your work is phenomenal. All rated A+

... and is that shadow file correct? <ShadowNIF>Art/Units/01_UnitShadows/HorseShadow.nif</ShadowNIF>

Last but not least. How did you get such a nice shot of all the spearman lined up and in formation?

Use this:
<ShadowDef>
<ShadowNIF>Art/Units/01_UnitShadows/UnitShadow.nif</ShadowNIF>
<ShadowAttachNode>BIP Pelvis</ShadowAttachNode>
<fShadowScale>1.0</fShadowScale>
</ShadowDef>

You can find similar unit's <UnitArtInfo>, then copy & patse to create the unit.

sorry my bad english

I see your from Hong Kong. My sister lives in Suzhou and speaks Mandarin as a second language... so I understand

So how did you get the spearman all lined up so nicely? (see pic)



You have them in a formation I never see in-game.

You can add my CIV4FormationInfos.xml in XML\Units,
then open CIV4UnitInfos.xml to edit this:

<iGroupSize>------"how many units"
and
<FormationType>------"FORMATION_TYPE_A to FORMATION_TYPE_E"

e.g.
<UnitMeshGroups>
<iGroupSize>9</iGroupSize>
<fMaxSpeed>1.75</fMaxSpeed>
<fPadTime>1</fPadTime>
<iMeleeWaveSize>9</iMeleeWaveSize>
<iRangedWaveSize>0</iRangedWaveSize>
<UnitMeshGroup>
<iRequired>3</iRequired>
<EarlyArtDefineTag>ART_DEF_UNIT_SWORDSMAN_ENG</EarlyArtDefineTag>
</UnitMeshGroup>
</UnitMeshGroups>
<FormationType>FORMATION_TYPE_C</FormationType>
<HotKey/>
