... think I've done something wrong!

The new unit works fine with the existing carrier skin but when I change the <Model> element in

Code:

<ArtDefine_UnitMemberInfos>
  <Row>
    <Type>ART_DEF_UNIT_MEMBER_SUPER_CARRIER</Type>
    <Scale>0.09</Scale>
    <Domain>Sea</Domain>
<!--
    <Model>Assets/Units/Carrier/Carrier.fxsxml</Model>
-->
    <Model>Porte-Avions_2.fxsxml</Model>
    <MaterialTypeTag>METAL</MaterialTypeTag>
    <MaterialTypeSoundOverrideTag>METALLRG</MaterialTypeSoundOverrideTag>
  </Row>
</ArtDefine_UnitMemberInfos>

I get the "standing on its head" effect seen above!

Porte-Avions_2.fxsxml, Porte-Avions_2.dds, Porte-Avions_2.gr2 and Porte-Avions_2_gloss.dds are all in the mod with VFS=true (from http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=10791977&postcount=10)

Any ideas gratefully received!

You need to import the pertinent files from the Edited_Animations folder in the WWII "other" pack.

I have to level with you, I actually think I like it better floating upright in the sea.

Click to expand...

If it's "fidget" mode had been "bob up and down like a cork/bottle" I may indeed have kept it that way

Similar issues occur with other units. I like the burrowing tanks, myself.

Thanks for answer whoward69 in the other thread but i don't understand how to fix it.

"You need to import the pertinent files from the Edited_Animations folder in the WWII "other" pack. "

Maybe it's pretty obvious but i don't know what i need to import fron where and to where.
I'm using the mod downloaded from the workshop of steam, i also download it from moddb.com to compare and it looks exactly the same files and size(as it should be)

Nutty's comment refers to the link in post #1 (where the original art work came from), and in that thread you'll need to follow the link from the note at the very bottom of post #1

Fixed.


I download the Edited Animations and Effects:
http://forums.civfanatics.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=19459&act=down

from:
http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=465145

and do what it says in the txt

put the folder "Edited_Animations" to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\sid meier's civilization v\Assets\Units\
and
put the "civ5artdefines_viseffects.xml" to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\sid meier's civilization v\resource\Common\

Thanks for the help, and now i'm going to enjoy the mod

Might make more sense to post the fix on the original thread
