[BNW] Help in modding Civ BE Units in Civ V

Electric_Gamers · Oct 25, 2018

Alright, current progress so far:

Spoiler Show Progress :

some some units are a bit larger than others (for instance the marauder compared with the striker, but I already scaled it down a bit and it's not very noticeable)

I think Im will use those units from Beyond Earth to my HUGE mod project in future era or another era

btw @Electric_Gamers you doing great job, keep up good work sir :thumbsup:

Electric_Gamers · Oct 25, 2018

Okay, just need to sort some things on the destroyer (purity) it's looping without firing the missiles.

Going for the Siege Units, so far...

Spoiler First Test, no effects, no sound, just models, textures and anims. :

View attachment 506315

Although I cannot Understand why the Siege isn't showing any rockets. I'm going to peek inside the fxsxml file to see what's missing...

Edit 1: So, as I thought, the missiles are vfx. However I tried replacing them with the ones from the rocket artillery and they got perpendicular to the slots and the firing animation just kept on looping and no explosions sound/effects occured...
Shown Below:

Spoiler Video :

This bug does not occur only when attacking other Missile Rovers, but also other units. I tested it in an artillery piece before publishing this.

Uhm so this happened again on the Destroyer, but I don't seem to remember what I did to fix it... Any help?

Spoiler Here's the original ftsxml: :

Spoiler Here's the edited version, with civ v effects :

@Electric_Gamers If you have Nexus Buddy 2 running there is action in there called "Reorder FTSXML Triggers" which makes working with Sounds/Effects triggers much easier. It will sort the entries by ec (event code) with headings so that you can see what is going on better. There is more info in the NB2 2.2.4 release description.

Oh great! Thanks for the tip! Going to test it out.

So I replaced every effect/sound with civ ones and still nothing, even after sorted out. I then used the supremacy's ftsxml files as a copy for this one, but some effects are glitched. Here's the trigger part of the ordered ftsxml:

Spoiler see :

Deliverator · Oct 26, 2018

Have you also replaced the Bone names with bones that actually exist in the Beyond Earth model?

Edit: Ignore this - I didn't appreciate that you've taken the BE .ftsxml and replaced all the values with Civ 5 VFX.

Deliverator · Oct 26, 2018

Also is there a file where you have installed Nexus Buddy 2 called animCodes.txt? Because the ordered .ftsxml should have headings above each section with the name of the animation.

Yes, I have the code file, containing all descriptions, but the thing is that I have to see which code corresponds to what manually. It will be best explained if I post here a video, stay tuned for edits...

Oh, yeah, mine didn't do that, for some reason, and instead gave me an unhandled exception... But it still ordered the id's

"System.Collections.Generic.KeyNotFoundException in System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2.get_Item"

Yeah the exception is because it doesn't have missing animation codes elegantly.

I'm going to paste here the exception in portuguese (windows language) but the paths are in english:

Quick Update, so that animation issue seems to be a purity problem, because the Dreadnought also has it. Besides,

Electric_Gamers said:
Okay everyone, I got some important things to do this week so I can only continue to work on the mod after wednesday. Oh and BTW yesterday I was having problems with the Warden(4th tier purity ranger) where, unlike the other tier 4 affinities, I wasn't able to make it fire it's rockets(rocket animation/effects that I set to it didn't trigger) , only the rifles... Maybe I forgot to copy that specific animation file, bit that's unlikely since when I added the files to the unit's art folder, I added all the existing ones on the directory...

Remember this? Well those were also units that fired purity rockets, that one didn't loop, but the rocket animation wasn't shown. So far, the only purity thing with rockets that worked was the artillery...
