Frenchman's Leaders Library

[Lord Yanaek]

you have not to rebuild the pack. When the unpacking is finished, just put the initial file (Pak0.FPK) in an other folder, the software will use the new folders created during the unpacking...

You mean not rebuild the pack?? Then the game will once again take 10 minutes to load

I tried to do it this way :
I selected the Pak0.FPK file that is in the FfH2 folder and unpacked it to "My Documents"/Downloads/Civ_4 (the folder where i d/l all my Civ (uh, i mean my FfH ) files.
I replaced the files in the Art/Leaderheads and Art/Popups folders with the ones in your packs.
I renamed the Pak0.FPK to Pak0.old in order not to replace it.
Now, i go to PackBuilder again, i open the "Art" folder, it appears in the left-half of the window. I Click "new pack" and get a "Pak0.FPK file in the right-half of the PackBuilder window. I select all the sub-folders as well as a lone file that are in the "Art" folder and click the "Add" button, but only the lone file (i forgot his name) is added to the Pak. If i select only one of the subfolders, the "Add" button is greyed out and i can't add it to the Pak

What am i doing wrong

I know now why my game takes 10 mins to load... I have never rebuild the pack... I don't know how it's working... sorry... Perhaps the specialist could help us...

Edit : Humm! I just tried...in order to add all the files it seems you have to use Build option in PAK folder...

Hello,
I have added 6 new leaders...

 

[woodelf]

Super job as always frenchman. Valledia is gorgeous.

 

[frenchman]

Hello,

I have added the last 5 leaders...

 

[frenchman]

Super job as always frenchman. Valledia is gorgeous.

I'm glad you like them...

 

[Lord Yanaek]

Wow, all leaders are done, great job.
I'm not a fan of Hyborem thought, he is too different from his in-game unit.

The others are all very nice.
Oh, it took me some time to figure this but i think Valledia is in fact a MAN His name in the french translation is "Valledia LE Juste". Never faced Os-Gabella so i can't be sure if he/she gets the -4 penality
Maybe Kael can make him a women so we can use your great portrait

Oh, i tryed to rebuild the pak, but it just doesn't work. The game takes forever to load anyway and i get pink blobs for every mod-specific graphic We will really need a patch (either that or someone from the FfH team tells us how to repack the art folder.

Hello Bob Morane,

I'm glad you like the Leaders... I think Valledia is a woman (even if there is a mistake in the translation) when you read the civilopedia text it's written "she"
but perhaps I'm wrong...
edit : For Hyborem, I have posted a new version ..

Doesn't Sabathiel Have Wings?

Doesn't Sabathiel Have Wings?

Sabathiel is an angel... but he is on earth that's why I didn't give him wings... But I can do it if you want a "winged" version...

 

[Lord Yanaek]

His portrait in the Mod doesn't have wings.
Hyborem OTOH does have wings (don't shoot please )
This new hybo is much closer to his unit (only misses wings)

 

[Lord Yanaek]

A note for anyone who wants to install the new leaders. Don't bother with the pak file, just keep it there. Create an "art" folder in the fall from haven 2 020/assets folder, then create an "interface" folder inside this art folder and copy the leaderhaeds and popup folders from this pack in this folder. They will override the old ones.

 

[Darque]

frenchman,
With your permission, I would like to use some of your leaders in my upcoming mod, Dragonia II

@ Bob Morane : I will try to find evil wings for Hyborem...
@ Darque: you have of course my permission, that's why I created this library... If you want I could create some new leaders for your mod ...

Hello,

I have posted two new leaders for a SF Mod...
Edit: Little mistake of size for ABOLYON corrected in the zip file...

I don't know them, but they are truely a very impressive artwork

 

[thomas.berubeg]

It is impressive... could i perhapes persuade you to do the leader heads for the arda mod (Lord of the Rings)? if so, can you PM me?

Thanks,
thomas

@ Darque: you have of course my permission, that's why I created this library... If you want I could create some new leaders for your mod ...

I would greatly appreciate it. I will take a look at how the current leaderhead set fits in with my current set of leaders and determine what leaders are still missing.
One request I can think of off the top of my head is a male and a female drow: Elven, dark grey skin, white hair. The female would be a high priestess to Lolth, Goddess of Spiders, Evil and Darkness. The male would be a high ranking wizard.
