Copy/Paste Great Admiral Art

[dagriggstar]

So I'm looking at updating my latest great person mod to include (finally) art so every new unit doesn't look like a warrior.

I started by basically copy/pasting entries for great people into an artdef file and somehow this works for every great person type EXCEPT great admirals.

So I am wondering how to get great admirals to show up as you know boats, rather than jesus warriors that can run around on top of the ocean but may never make landfall.

The code I currently am using is below (One example shown)

        <Element>
            <m_Fields>
                <m_Values>
                    <Element class="AssetObjects..ArtDefReferenceValue">
                        <m_ElementName text=""/>
                        <m_RootCollectionName text="UnitFormationTypes"/>
                        <m_ArtDefPath text="Units.artdef"/>
                        <m_CollectionIsLocked>true</m_CollectionIsLocked>
                        <m_TemplateName text=""/>
                        <m_ParamName text="Formation"/>
                    </Element>
                    <Element class="AssetObjects..ArtDefReferenceValue">
                        <m_ElementName text=""/>
                        <m_RootCollectionName text="UnitCombat"/>
                        <m_ArtDefPath text="Units.artdef"/>
                        <m_CollectionIsLocked>true</m_CollectionIsLocked>
                        <m_TemplateName text=""/>
                        <m_ParamName text="UnitCombat"/>
                    </Element>

Thanks in advance to anyone that helps out.

You are replacing all art to make new great types of great people? Or simply adding new great admirals?

 

[dagriggstar]

Just trying to add new ones

 

[raen]

In that case I believe you dont need to change artdefs.

 

[dagriggstar]

Not having an artdef causes the same problem.

It appears that in the artdef every single great person is treated as an individual unit, rather than simply 'great admiral'. Or at least that is the impression I have....

 

[raen]

In that case I think something else is 'broken', any errors on logs of the game?
