HOWTO: New Unit Creation

[blazekid87]

Nice work on the tools. It would also be nice if you can import/export icons and view them as well. Maybe even auto resize them? Would def save alot of trouble.

Yes, i've set Fscale to 1,4 and now it works just fine
I 'm gonna try to add an other animation (not sure how to do,but i'm gonna try)

i think i just creamed myself... everything feels right in the world again

you totally rock Lemmy! (and that dragon is EPIC Deliverator i cant wait for your civ 4 model conversion tutorial)

 

[Jaythekiller]

I can't figure how to add a new animation to my existing model
Could you detail the process,please?

When using your latest version of the tool, it doesn't generate any XML, just the art assets. Any idea what might be causing that?

Hmm do you have the FPK files unpacked?

also, try running in administrator mode on a Vista/7 machine, and make sure:

HKEY_Current_User \\ Software\\Firaxis\\Nexus\\Civ5Settings\\GameBuild in your registry is pointing at the Civ 5 exe?

Could you update your tutorial to explain how to add multiple animations?
Thanks

I think you have to just repeat the process for each new animation for the time being and hand edit your fxsxml to refer to the different generated gr2 animations.

Thank you Deliverator
I missed it (English is not my first language,so sometimes i misunderstand the most simple things)

Or use the latest version of the tool, which has FBX support and saved animation definitions you can edit each time you export and it'll generate the fxsxml for you.

Working on a ModBuddy extension that communicates with Nexus Buddy now... am going to add support for Nexus Buddy piping the files to Mod Buddy as well as the Database update actions.

 

[Jaythekiller]

Nevermind I finally got it

Other question: I try to import the great spy from CivIV
He's got a gun and a bomb
I export them in fbx
I import the fbx with NexusBoddy
THEN: Should i assign a material to each object?

 

[lemmy101]

I guess it depends on the unit and how it was textured (UVs etc) I would suspect that they would all share the same material. seperate materials is a bit of a waste for something so small.

 

[Jaythekiller]

There are 2 dds files :
One for the Spy itself
One for the bomb
So i assume i need 2 materials,right?

Ooops, I'd missed that step. Sorry.

NEW VERSION OF THE TUTORIAL. See main post. It now uses the latest Nexus Buddy as its basis so is a lot less steps and is simpler to follow, and actually makes a new additional unit instead of replacing the warrior. The old tutorial has been moved to post #2.

 

[The_J]

Hey guys, what's up with you, there's still no new thread in the units section.

 

[Jaythekiller]

@ The J : we're working on it,don't worry

Is it in the Nexus/x86 directory? Also this may mean your Nexus paths are set-up wrong:

I'll add a check in the next release.
