DyP unit pack #3, the last pack

[Xen]

this is a Byzantine Cataphract, so stirrups are okay, and i suggest makinf the spearhead a bit bigger to better suit how it was used- that pic is superb in all of its details but the spearhead size...

 

[Xen]

the shild is not a nessity either, but if done, an oblong, flat later Roman standerd sheild would be cool

 

[Yoda Power]

Xen are you really paying or was it a joke?

 

[Xen]

I'd be willing to I suppose- but I't have to be really good, and fairlly cheep- but then considering it would be the first time he(or she, but I get the impression of a he) would have been paid- so I dont think it could cost to much, and I also want to be able to dole out the unit like a civ3 whore - I said a 5-3-2 knight that costs 10 more sheilds as it stats NOW, or you dont get to have it

I think it was a joke. I don't believe that it would be legal to pay someone for a CivIII unit, but let's not discuss that in this thread.

Illegal? No I dont think so. All he asks for is some flc files, with this animation in. Civ is not the only program using these files, so in theory it could be for other purposes.

Civ is the only game that uses this type of flc files

what do you mean with "this type" of flc files. Flc files are flc files, whats the difference?

 

[LouLong]

There aren't exactly the same as I discovered the hard way. You can do animations in Animaton Shop and produce .flc files. Then you think (it was my case) it is great you have got a new unit anim then realize Civ3 won't read these files because he uses "Civ3" .flc files slightly different. Then you have to use Flicster which can convert to Civ3 flcs because their format is a specific flcs (kind of Word 95 cannot read a Word 2002 .doc file).

interesting. I thought the reason civ coiuld´nt read those files were because of the palette being messed up by Animation Shop.

I think it all was explained in the flicster thread. There's some addittional info in the civ3 flc's... I just can't remember what it was

Agreed -- but you might want to scroll through this thread ...

here is another pic- the circled dude is a good bet for an all around cataphract whos style or armour is stretched out over a long period of time

 

[Xen]

and another as you can see, a crest is important

Just to add to the rampant random OT-ness of this thread, am I not right in that Leaderheads are in the normal flc format, while the units are not? This would actually be logical, as the leaderheads don't have to be in eight directions.

 

[embryodead]

Yes, mrtn Though you still have set up palette correctly there to avoid transparency.
And as for units, Zulu is right, it is a custom type of flc with 8 directions and additional flags, not just a messed up palette.

The Shang was the first Dynasty of China(that we are sure existed). So he would replace warrior, archer or spearman for China. Not Swordsman, the Shang was before iron working.

well about the flc thing, stephs game if it comes out will use that i think otherwise he could've made his own game that the flc file is a compatible flc, besides it wouldn't be illegal to sell it as long as poser was legally utah's and every part was his own, therefore all the property is legally his to sell, reproduce, etc. simply, if you create entirely by yourself all parts its your own property, if i'm wrong it would be interesting to see microsoft sue people for using .exe files for non-microsoft apps, or .wma or w/e files they created

anyhoo i would love it if you made it w/ or w/o xen paying for it

Lol Utah made the Cataphract ages ago, this is just an old thread
