AoK units are exportable !

[s3d]

Well, I didnt tried it yet, I'm on the work, but it should be possibele: go to
aok.heavengames.com/
and download MPS studio. Export Aok unit frames into BMP. load BMP into PSP and create FLC with Animation shop. After that FLICster them. I'll try it as soon as I'm home:crazyeyes

What about copyright issue?

Since AoK is Microsoft while Civ3 is Firaxis ? Just a thought.

Hmm, Aok community modding units, so it seems to mod units isn't aginst copywrite...They are posting them on their sites, so it seems leight also. All permitted to download them. So it seems leight to take them, change them and post them. (And nowhere in license explicitly declared that it's forbidden to change unit's format). After that, what you are doing with downloaded units is your own problem. It even could be illegal to use downloaded units in CIV3, but it's responcibility person who downloaded it... he he

Does that mean Galactic Battlegrounds units (that star wars official mod) are importable too?

 

[s3d]

I can't veryfy it, I have only AoK. You should either ask in Aok.heavengames.com or chek it yourself. if MPS can read it's database then it's exportable.

If it is possible, then things could get VERY interesting...

Someone should try converting TA and C&C units, or even Starcraft, Warcraft and Diablo units...

ok maybe not...

C'mon guys, let's not forget Civ 2 units here

Anyone given it a shot yet? Sounds promising

Well, if anyone can covert _any_ 3d model (or may be even animation) into x-file format (*.x) or *.3ds I can convert it into civ3. I can even generate shadows.

 

[Madeira]

Sweeeet!!

Start working on it guys! hehehe

Someone should make a page with every new unit in it (if its really new with new graphics), ready for download, with a couple of animated gifs to show it in action!

You're an evil, evil person, you know that? I was having enough nightmares about the War Elephants. Now I've got to start worrying about Ogre Mages, too?!? That's it, I'm getting my tanks...

Here's find a program called MPQview that can extract all the Pictures, Sound Files etc. from the Starcraft MPQ files.

There's also another program called RetroGRP which converts Starcraft's GRP files (which are contained in the MPQs) to BMP.


I also found out that there's a program to extract Warcraft 2 Files. It's called WarDraft and can be found here .

I haven't tried any of these programs, just googled around a bit, hoping somebody will bring Ogres and Zerglings to Civ

I think I already lost my warcraft copy...Have to check if I still have Starcraft... Anyway can you post earth marine bmp's here ?

If someone makes a Star Wars mod, just PLEASE make the Ewoks a civ, so I can crush them with my AT-ATs...

Gotta love Star Wars games, the Empire's forces are SO much fun.

How true. Is anyone out there actually working on a Star Wars Mod?

How do you do that? I found a 3ds file of the ed209 from robocop and downloaded it plus at least 3 or 4 programs to try and get it out so I can play with pcx files and have a unit to go up against womoks walker can you do it

 

[bhiita]

also found an APC from aliens; cleared my history so I have to go a wassaling *spl* around again to find the site (there are tons of 3ds files there of all kinds of would be units)

ps sorry about the size of the image for some reason it kept getting messed up when trying to shrink it a bit
