CFC User's Mod: Unit requests, previews and more!

[Tsunami23]

When will anybody get crackin' on my unit request?

TO Dease: Oh, ok then. Well, in that case, I should have the legion done by tonight (barring any technical problems), or tomorrow at the latest. Would've had it done a while ago probably, but we had like four tornadoes like... Within half a mile or so. Really lucky, especially since it only took down a couple of power lines.

TO Tsunami23: Keep your pants on, the mod ain't coming out for a while I'm sure ...

Ok, I spoke too soon... I was putting the .flc's together in FLICster (duh), and 4 worked, while 4 didn't...? They all used the same palette, and had the same size. The four that didn't weren't really special anyway (AttackA worked, while B didn't ). I have no idea why. I re-exported the .fxm's two or three times, to make sure the info (mostly frame count, the only difference they had), and they still didn't work. I mostly get just an illegal operation error, and then it exists. One is all skewed, but crashes when I try to view the other directions. I've had this error twice before (one still pending, and the other was due to my copying&pasting indivuals frames, which I didn't do)...

Any help would be VERY appreciated... Files posted below.

Me thinks you're right ... I'll try that. I think my program (Analyzer) just creates a new .pcx when I paste without selecting a certain area. I'll let you guys know how it goes (hopefully, that'll be by just posting the unit )...

Why not just use PSP?

Hmm... Haven't tried it. Anyway, I downloaded Infranview (apparently Analyzer screws up my .pcx's), and it worked great . I didn't even have to paste, just saved the .bmp's as .pcx's. I don't know if this has caused problems for anyone else, but it worked fine for me .

Anyway, the unit's finished and posted below (complete with pedia icons and everything). I just stuck the normal legionary sounds in the .ini. Should work fine, though I haven't tried it in game. Hope you don't mind, but I think I'm going to post this in the main units subforum. Could be a good fantasy unit.

BTW: Sorry for the civ darkness. Dark blue is nearly black on the cape . I may go back and fix this after I complete the cataphract. Colors work well with most civ colors, 'cept the light ones (yellow and white mostly), and dark ones (dark blue, black, etc...).

EDIT: Grrr... 58 kb over the limit. So close. Oh well .

AVY: Have you tried using Steph's Story board builder for making your storyboards? Trust me, it cuts a huge amount of time off the whole process. Also, there is the option in flicster to generate an 8 filmstrip story board, which will allow you to just make 1 pcx file for each direction, and Flicster will automatically compile them into the FLC file.

Anyways, the Takayama RFV is now complete:

TO Hikaro: I do use SSB, it's great. I tried not using once (before I heard about it)... . And, I know there's that option (not trying to be rude, but what's your point )...

Happy birthday everyone! (Mine is in October...)

BTW: Is someone assebling pedicons and civilopedia?

 

[Dom Pedro II]

I thought those were Olympic bananas for a second...

Speaking of which, this is the best banana site:

What have you done?!!!!

 

[Tsunami23]

I've been doing steady work on pedi icons.

 

[A Viking Yeti]

Those bananas are hilarious... Dance slaves, dance!

You forgot a build animation (give him a spade and dig the ground).

Well, with you talking about doing all that cut 'n' paste, I wasn't sure if you did know. After all, it took me a day or two to figure all that stuff out when I first got SBB and Flicster. Oh, and nice unit. I might be able to use them as a wolven legionaire in a Rifts mod I might do sometime in the future.

There's no way the AI would use that... If you're just looking to use it for yourself, then I'll do it with the Cataphract.

Oooh, I was just talking about pasting the SSB storyboard into a storyboard .pcx made by FLICster. Took me a while to figure 'em out too.
