Unit Request: Two Historically Incorrect Chariots

Straczynski · Dec 28, 2003

People, I currently need two units for my mod (I'll be remaking most work on it as soon as I get my hands on C3C). So, could any habilitous copy-and-paster (something I'm not :cry:

) make them? Take a look on the image below...

The first unit is a Camel Chariot. Not much historically correct, but it would be nice to have our desert civs producing them. Just pasting Chimtot's Riderless Camel on top of Vanilla's Chariot's horse will do. Giving him a larger spear would be nice as well. Everybody likes big sticks.

The second one would be a Two-Horse Chariot (although I'd call it Advanced Chariot in my mod). Just the Vanilla Chariot with an extra animal. Big stick too.

So... Could anybody do these guys, please?

the camel chariot could be an arab chariot flavor unit. The other one perhaps Babylonian or something.

Straczynski · Dec 29, 2003

Oh, ignore my pledge for the Camel Chariot... I'll be making it as a copy-and-pasting experience.

What's ahistorical with the two-horse chariot?

Straczynski · Dec 29, 2003

Nothing in special... Just that it is not modeled after any unit in particular. Only the camel chariot is ahistorical. I guess.

Anyway, I need you guys' help... Already downloaded both Flicster and SBB. Already done all the frames on the Default and Attack storyboards. Ok, they aren't done yet but they would be usable if I only knew how to export the storyboard to a FLC file... Anyone?

Oh, attached is the Default storyboard. Envy my work.

Straczynski · Dec 29, 2003

*Bump*

Come on, I know you know how to make a storyboard into a FLC...

The TMT · Dec 30, 2003

Just open the storyboard in Flicster, select the export tab, and then click the export button.

Straczynski · Dec 30, 2003

Thanks, TMT!

personally, I liek the secong, realistic chariot ALOT

Straczynski · Dec 30, 2003

I'd do it if I had better skills on copy-and-pasting...

Here's how the Camel Chariot is going. The conversion to GIF messed the pallete, BTW.

Looks great, Straczynski!!

This is the last unit I needed for my Camel line for Middle Eastern civs!

Straczynski · Dec 30, 2003

Thanks, Hetairoi!

I've already done both the Default and Attack flics. How do they look? Yes, I know about the glitch on the north attack.

I'll do the fortify animation right now. It shouldn't be too hard to make, it's gonna be just the attack played backwards... Then, there's Run and Death... I'll try to finish everything by the first days of January.

Gogf · Dec 30, 2003

This is good. I like it. Quite dark in the gif, but I'm sure it's better in the flc.

hetairoi22 · Dec 30, 2003

They look nice! A late Christmas present!

My only complaint is what Gogf said, but I'm sure the gif doesn't do it justice.

Straczynski · Dec 30, 2003

Thanks you both! I've just tested both animations ingame. They're working nicely, not too dark and the boucing is not so noticeable as it is on the gifs.

Gogf · Dec 30, 2003

The camel does look like it can't contain it's energy in the gif...

Gogf · Dec 30, 2003

Is this your first unit? I can't find any others that you've made. That's really good for a first unit.

Straczynski · Dec 30, 2003

Oh, you'd look like that as well if you were tied up to a chariot...

Straczynski · Dec 30, 2003

And yes, it's my first unit. Thanks.

Gogf · Dec 30, 2003

Well, because it's your first unit, you may wish to know this: to decrease camel bobble, you can count how many pixels away from the former it is in one frame, and keep it that many in the next. At first I didn't do this, but once I did, it sped up the process a lot, and made the unit look a lot better. I can give you a lot of newbie tips, because I've just finished my first unit too.
