Heavy Ironclad Battleship

lol,i m glad to see that you were both right and i m thankfull for this!

now,i m wondering if you can give me an advice about another thing:
i m playing currently a mod in warlords(amra's mod).this mod supports stealing tech whenever you re taking over an enemy city,something i dont want to loose.but,there is no promotion for air units,something that they fixed in BTS.however,is it possible to create a new class"air"units,in warlords and give them promotions as well?fighter,jet fighters,deserve to be there but they are not.is there any way to fix thsi in the warlods?any ideas?

How do you make it possible to steal techs when taking a city?!?!?

 

[GeneralMatt]

It was probably python or SDK work as he mentioned it was from a mod..

well,

Admiral Matt thanks for the info regarding the air forces mod.Unefortunately i m not so sophisticated like you or lopez to fix it my own,as my knowledge reavhes only editing xml and nothing more.Another idea that i have,is to change all units into helicopter units,and with this way,if they can intercept they can gain experience,but dont know if this will work.Another idea is to find out in the BTS where the classes of units are categorized and then add this to the warlords amra s mod...

 

[GeneralMatt]

Actually, I know nothing of python or SDK myself. If you download that mod, it is all ready to play, so you do not to do anything.

[Wolfshanze]

I have buttons for Armored Cruisers and Heavy Cruisers, but no Light Cruisers. Basically I have buttons for whatever is in my Wolfshanze Mod.

Well, you need to change the address in the Civ4ArtDefines_Unit.xml for the buttons.

By default, the button line for Ironclads is:
<Button>,Art/Interface/Buttons/Units/Ironclad.dds,Art/Interface/Buttons/Unit_Resource_Atlas.dds,8,9</Button>

Change it to something like this:

<Button>Art/Interface/Buttons/Units/IronBB.dds</Button>


In other words, remove the "," at the beginning of the line and everything past the ".dds" extension (it's not needed). You need to place the dds button in the right spot in your mod folder (Art/Interface/Buttons/Units).

It's NOT a good idea to mess-around with the default files of the game... if you're going to modify something, you should do it in a Mod folder where it's safe to alter stuff.

IT WORKED!IT WORKED!
thsnk you woolf!!!!

i did exactly as you said:i copy this path from your post,then created a folder "units" and dds buttons placed them there!
THANK YOU!!!!!!
