11 Teuton Units

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/>

Will your formations file make all the formations nice and cool like that? Or just the Teutonic Knights I added?
 
Danrell - Are you sure you've got the right pikeman.nif in the zip? I feel almost positive I have everything correct and it's still showing up as the old pikeman.

Here's what I have:

* Pikeman_German folder renamed to Celts_Pikeman
* That folder is dropped in the \\CustomAssets\art\units\\ directory
* Here's the text I added for the Civ4ArtDefines_Unit.xml
Code: 
		<UnitArtInfo>
			<Type>ART_DEF_UNIT_CELTS_PIKEMAN</Type>
			<Button>,Art/Interface/Buttons/Units/Pikeman.dds,Art/Interface/Buttons/Unit_Resource_Atlas.dds,7,1</Button>
			<fScale>0.44</fScale>
			<fInterfaceScale>1.0</fInterfaceScale>
			<bActAsLand>0</bActAsLand>
			<bActAsAir>0</bActAsAir>
			<NIF>Art/Units/Celts_Pikeman/pikeman.nif</NIF>
			<KFM>Art/Units/Pikeman/Pikeman.kfm</KFM>
			<SHADERNIF>Art/Units/Pikeman/Pikeman_FX.nif</SHADERNIF>
			<ShadowDef>
				<ShadowNIF>Art/Units/01_UnitShadows/UnitShadow.nif</ShadowNIF>
				<ShadowAttachNode>BIP Pelvis</ShadowAttachNode>
				<fShadowScale>1.0</fShadowScale>
			</ShadowDef>
			<fBattleDistance>0.35</fBattleDistance>
			<fRangedDeathTime>0.31</fRangedDeathTime>
			<bActAsRanged>0</bActAsRanged>
			<TrainSound>AS2D_UNIT_BUILD_UNIT</TrainSound>
			<AudioRunSounds>
				<AudioRunTypeLoop/>
				<AudioRunTypeEnd/>
			</AudioRunSounds>
		</UnitArtInfo>

Everything else is fine. It's an additional UU for the Celts, same stats as Pikeman, it shows up in the Civpedia correctly etc. Just the pikeman model is still the old one.

Oh my goodness. I spent like 6 hours trying to figure this out and you got it in just one second. Thank you! I was getting so frustrated! I have no idea how I missed this in rabbits guide.

Know what else is funny? I made your Teutonic macemen heavy Celtic swordsman... and there's nothing in that line at all. Should there be? Here's what it looks like (but it appears to work just fine):

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

I don't know also , perhaps needn't add this one ;)
 
These are amazing!
 
Hi, this may be a stupid question but i am kinda new to this stuff. Which one of the art files do you use for this part

<NIF>Assets/Art/Units/Archer_German/archer.nif.nif</NIF>
<KFM>Art/Units/Archer/Archer.kfm</KFM>
<SHADERNIF>Assets/Art/Units/Archer_German/MountedInfantry_128.nif</SHADERNIF>

I can figure out the NIF one but the other two I have no clue. I am using the Teuton Units but I am unable to figure out which image i am suppose to use. Can anyone clear this up for me, I would be extremly grateful. I am trying to the Archer one right now if that helps any.
 
<NIF>Assets/Art/Units/Archer_German/archer.nif.nif</NIF>
<KFM>Art/Units/Archer/Archer.kfm</KFM>
<SHADERNIF>Assets/Art/Units/Archer_German/MountedInfantry_128.nif</SHADERNIF>

Change to :

<NIF>Assets/Art/Units/Archer_German/archer.nif</NIF>
<KFM>Art/Units/Archer/Archer.kfm</KFM>
<SHADERNIF>Assets/Art/Units/Archer_German/archer.nif</SHADERNIF>
 
Okay now i have another problem, the units don't show up the way they should in the game. They look like the old ones, not the cool Teuton ones. Here is just one of my art defines xml, maybe there is something wrong...


Code: 
</UnitArtInfo>
		<UnitArtInfo>
			<Type>ART_DEF_UNIT_MACEMAN</Type>
			<Button>,Art/Interface/Buttons/Units/Maceman.dds,Art/Interface/Buttons/Unit_Resource_Atlas.dds,8,5</Button>
			<fScale>0.6</fScale>
			<fInterfaceScale>1.0</fInterfaceScale>
			<bActAsLand>0</bActAsLand>
			<bActAsAir>0</bActAsAir>
			<NIF>Assets/Art/Units/Maceman_German/Maceman.nif</NIF>
			<KFM>Art/Units/Maceman/Maceman.kfm</KFM>
			<SHADERNIF>Assets/Art/Units/Maceman_German/Maceman.nif</SHADERNIF>
			<ShadowDef>
				<ShadowNIF>Art/Units/01_UnitShadows/MacemanShadow.nif</ShadowNIF>
				<ShadowAttachNode>LionBip Spine</ShadowAttachNode>
				<fShadowScale>.6</fShadowScale>
			</ShadowDef>
			<fBattleDistance>0.35</fBattleDistance>
			<fRangedDeathTime>0.31</fRangedDeathTime>
			<bActAsRanged>0</bActAsRanged>
			<TrainSound>AS2D_UNIT_BUILD_UNIT</TrainSound>
			<AudioRunSounds>
				<AudioRunTypeLoop/>
				<AudioRunTypeEnd/>
			</AudioRunSounds>
		</UnitArtInfo>

Thanks for these units danrell, I like them so much I started learning how to edit the CIV xml files in order to add them :)

As other people who want to use them will have to go through the same steps, I decided to post a mod here which replaces all the standard civs with alternatives which use your units.

If you are iterested in it, get it here

All units are included, so you do not need to download them separately.
