Looks good Ramzay. I like the robes a lot.

Not so long ago, I started animating and applying shaders to my old models and ran into some problems.
First of all, I can't scale the leader. At all. Even the camera doesn't move. I haven't seen such a problem before, so I don't even know where to look.
Secondly, when switching between leaders, the shaders break and the model starts to shine like crazy.
Does anyone know what I did wrong here?
Fixed. The problem was in the "Has Vertex Color" and "Has_tangents" option. Sometimes I'm very stupid.
Here's a new leader for the Argonians. It is fully animated. Enjoy

Once I managed to solve the problem, I had to animate other animals as well

I have slightly modified the Ashurbanipal made by @MightyToad .
I really hope he won't mind if it gets into my mod.

slightly

Slightly? It looks completely different.

Slightly? It looks completely different.

I just applied shaders and added armor from Skyrim. The model itself has not changed, so yes, "slightly"

Tiber Septim has now also got shaders and animated armor.

I did not animate the fingers on the gloves, as they seemed to me monstrously complicated. So Tiber is now a fashionista.

I hope that this kind of guars will be the last. This time the animation is superimposed really correctly, and the guar moves exactly as it should.

What has always surprised me about Oblivion is the absurdly detailed interface.
Trying to recreate this in civilization looks good.

I can't say that it looks the way I originally intended

Now work on the interface will be suspended. Perhaps I will make changes in the future. In any case, now he is as close to oblivion as it is possible in my conditions.
Also, I was finally able to solve a problem that had been haunting me for about 10 years. Now the buttons on the bottom panel are not surrounded by a frame.

Spoiler :

With small screen resolutions, it doesn't look so impressive, but it is playable.

Textures from Skyrim make these models more "new". I think I'll choose this option, but the old texture from Morrowind will remain in the folder. Maybe someone likes it more.

@ramzay1945 this is amazing work mate! I've been looking for Elder Scrolls mods for Civ games in my scenario super search & rescue thread so I'm super happy to find this old mod thread and see that you're working on an enhanced version of it! How far away do you think a public release is?

The link to the old version is still in my discord channel. However, a lot has changed since then. I can't devote much time to this particular project right now, but it's close to being completed.

No worries mate, I see your discord link is in your sig so I've joined up, gone digging and can see your 0.1 beta download. The latest stuff you've been posting since then is brilliant so I look forward to that beta 0.2 one day.

I'll add your project into my super search list thread for people to find it in the next day or so. The super search thread results eventually feed into a big Civ in HD with mods video series I'm doing so no doubt I'll get to doing a video of your awesome work eventually.

Oh and I notice you're relying on personal cloud storage, so I should also mention that I have large file upload access here at CFC so if the time comes that you want a copy uploaded to here just let me know. I also always recommend ModDB to modders as its been around for 20+ years, had a big audience, and most importantly it hosts large files and pictures.

EDIT: Oh and FYI using 7zip (another thing I often recommend to modders to help with sharing their stuff) I was able to get your 320MB zip file down to 212MB. Quite a difference in compression size!

Until the official release, the current version of the mod will be permanently posted on github.

was looking at 1 of ur units, the Feral_Aberrant_FX vampire lord (vampirelord.HalfPoly), and cant figure out what animation to use, i tried Berserker and vulture one, didnt work??

right now i am looking at anything that has wings. . .

Oh, he doesn't have wings as such) This is a unit from one of the official mods for Civilization IV. This is an Afterworld mod, if you have a gold edition, then this unit should definitely be in the BTS folder. If you can't find it by name, I'll try to publish it later.
