I'm trying to add my first unit; I followed the guide in this thread:
http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=139721 but I have some problems and questions:
1) I noticed that there is no .kfm file in both the zips (the one with the sword and the other with the torch); i don't know what that file does, but it is necessary because you must enter its path in '
CIV4ArtDefines_Unit.xml' in the <KFM> tag. I have copied the standard scout .kfm file in my mod subfolder '
Assets\art\units\mediterranean_scout\'; i don't know if this method works well because the game freezes (see point 4).
2) I'm using the torch version and I have problems with the button:
a. In '
Scout_ROMAN (with torch).zip' there isn't the button with the torch, but the button with axe;
b. I copied the button with the sword from the other zip; this button appears "out of focus" in game; look here and compare this picture with the first picture in post #1:
c. the button in the technology screen is NOT "zoomed"; look here:
I don't know if it depends by the settings in the file '
CIV4UnitInfos.xml', in which i have written:
<Button>Art/Interface/Buttons/Units/roman_scout_button_sword.dds</Button>
instead of:
<Button>,Art/Interface/Buttons/Units/Scout.dds,Art/Interface/Buttons/Unit_Resource_Atlas.dds,1,1</Button>
(note the commas)
3) The unit has a strange posture in the civilopedia screen (and in the city screen..); moreover the fire of the torch is in a very strange position; compare this picture with the first picture in post #8:
4) The game freezes (not crash!) when my city has completed to building the unit. It can't manage some strange graphic problems.
I don't know if these problems are technical or related to this unit.. I decided to post in this thread first.. I apologize if my questions are more proper in a technical support thread than in a creation/customitation thread..
By the way thanks in advance.
