The animation file (the kfm) "requests" a certain nif in is folder, in this case it is a file called paratrooper.nif. If such a file is missing the observed errors occur. A simple renamed copy of the included Paratrooper_FX.nif called paratrooper.nif should help.

"A" should be the alpha value of the vertex. Unfortunally (only after a quick search - i don´t really know it [1]) it seems that there is no easy option to set this value in Blender. No idea if it would help to adjust the alpha value of the material and work with different materials. [1] eg...

I seems my description lacked some infos this time. ;) To change the tectures you should rename the textures you want to use: The texture named "Leonora.dds" is used as base texture and "Leonora_gloss.dds" for the gloss. So if you eg want to use the darker gloss rename the existing...

Do you play with or without (frozen) animations? For the frozen animation option civ4 uses special nifs for the models and most custom units using a civ4 animation will not work (means: will switch back to the "animation master" special frozen animations nif).

Can you at least upload some pics?

. :goodjob:

It seems that while importing the animation there are still some fragments of the old animation left - which causes trouble with the end pose in the animation. If you check eg your ranged fortify animation in nifskope, you will see that the unit will go back to the starting position in the last...

Thanks, unfortunally so far i didn´t found an error in files, but can confirm your problem. Could you please also create the two idle animation? After fortify the units goes into the idle animation and my feeling is that the problem occurs between/on the change of the two animation.

:agree:

Did you test your new kfs with the original model - to be sure that your error is caused by the new animations? How did you edited the kfs (which tool, ...)? Honestly, i think without the files or at least lots of additional information it will be quite hard to really help you.

The question is: which nif format has your exported nif? You need to export a civ IV nif. Nif formats for other games will not work. What you could try: Test your nif with scene viewer (also called nif viewer, is part of the official nif scripts for the older max version, but runs without...
