[Graphic Mod] Varietas Delectat v9.2 [civ specific unit sets]

[bonafide11]

Maybe I should have circled what I wanted you to see. Look at the city menu where I can select what I want to build. There's a Rifleman, a Grenadier, and a Battleship, but that Battleship is supposed to be a Cataphract. Look on the left side where it shows the Cataphract's information because the mouse is highlighting the Battleship's icon.

Also,look at the city on the map, it shows two cataphracts guarding the city. But then look in the city menu where it shows the two cataphracts and they both have battleships as icons.

bonafide11, I'll address the issue in the next update.
The strange thing is that it's not happening to me...

Longbowman a fix that now shows The Longbowman icon some of yours Longbowman you had
<Button>,Art/Interface/Buttons/Units/Archer.dds,Art/Interface/Buttons/Unit_Resource_Atlas.dds,4,1</Button>
and not
<Button>,Art/Interface/Buttons/Units/Longbowman.dds,Art/Interface/Buttons/Unit_Resource_Atlas.dds,8,7</Button>

Thanks, I'll check when I get back home.

So what's on the horizon for the next update?

Currently there's some error corrections, merging and also some cool unit updates by Polycrates and an African Modern Settler by siam.

ok trying to use your mod i ran into a small problem. the custom units are showing up just as red dots. when i checked the file path for the custom units it goes like this Modules/Varietas Delectat/Art/Units/ which is fine and all but when i go into the modules folder and open up the varietas delectat folder there is only a xml folder there no art folder. ive downloaded it twice more and there is still no art folder there. now i dont have the 2.0 version anymore so if i was suppose to have the art folder from it i dont and need to find a way to download it again.

I'm really looking forward to the next version. The graphics and changes are great but the incorrect icons are kind of distracting at times, particularly when dealing with similar units (like the Swordsmen and the Heavy Infantry occasionally having the same icon).

Hopefully the next version will be able to kill those off!

 

[avain]

Yes, the cute little icons. As it is really painful to find all those bad icons, please do write me the ones you find! (Just the civ name and unit name, thanks)

Nice job on the new skins, avain.

 

[avain]

The new skins are Polycrates' work! All credit should go to him!

I disagree! Polycrates is a lazy bum who shamelessly steals other peoples' work!
Seriously, all those units (except the Viking horseman - that's all me, baby) are just reskins or semi-reskins of other peoples' designs.

The viking archer and swordsman are pretty much just mix-n-match bits of the incredible amurite and doviello units from Fall From Heaven with tiny retexturing (and shield by Chugginator); the Russian carrier and the Hood are fantastic models from GeneralMatt (and a lot of the Hood texture is still GeneralMatt's original work); the Japanese carrier is a model by ardRaeiss; the r35 tank model and camo pattern were done by someone else (not sure who); the Viking musketman was based on a design by someone else (again, not sure who); and the Persian musketman was a design by Zerver and the chest texturing was based off a texture stolen from danrell.

So yeah, my point is that these units (and most of the other ones I've reskinned for this mod) are founded on a firm basis of shameless, shameless theft

Can someone else check to see if the build icons for Justinian's Cataphracts look like battleships? I don't see why mine would do it if nobody else's!

If you don't get what I mean, look at my screen shots on the previous page!

EDIT:
Nevermind, I installed 3.1 and now it works. Did you do anything to fix it?

this mod says its based on civ ethic artstyles, is it safe to say the building mods are included?

This mod includes the different citystyles from the Ethnic Artstyles mod.

So, guys, I'm just curious:
- Would there be interest in trying out a beta Modern Era Expansion for Varietas Delectat and sending me feedback?

 

[RPG]

I'll try it out!

Heck yes, infact, i'd like to see it go into Nano, course thats just me!

 

[avain]

In due time it'll go Nano and beyond, I hope. But for now, I'd like to take it step by step

So, if everything goes well, I'll do some more polish when I get home, and then send it to you.

What I'd be interested in are:
- errors findings
- game balance issues
- how does AI perform?
- suggestions

Currently it will feature 5 or 6 new techs and more than 10 new unit classes (there's still no diversity in those, and also unit pedia is missing, but I'll work on it until you test the rest )

Oh, I'll help. I've always wanted to add a future era but never got round to it.
