Leaderhead Database and Request thread

Hey, what's wrong with Rammstein?

 

[Ekmek]

(unless its just entirely ridiculous, i.e. that guy who wanted the bassist for Rammstein or whatever that was)

damn I was almost done making that guy too. I guess I won't release him after all

 

[MadmanOfALeader]

Good one Ekmek!

 

[Manifold]

ah, the bassist of Rammstein
by the way, did i already request a toga for this guy?

Is it possible to give him julius body like switching a weapon with nifskope?

I'm working on my own Mod and have created new leaders for my civilizations(My mod bases on FfH2).
Now three different problems have acured.

First:
In one case I created the leader his civics, graphics etc. But now when I open the civlopedia I can found his Name but all the rest is empty.

Seconde:
In two cases, the graphics I created aren't shown in the leaders picture. There's only a pink sqare. I made the pictures with 512x718 and saved them as a dds., just like the others, but which work.

Third:
Again in two cases. The reptanle that normally contains the alligment and civics doesn't appear beneath the picture.

Each of my problems are single none of them are together in the same leader.


Can you tell or at least guess what I did wrong?
If not please tell me what to do.

I said, open a new thread here.

1) Like said, check again the folder names, not that there's a typo.
If that doesn't help, post your artdefines and your folder structure (a screenshot please).

2) Normal civ 2d leaderheads are 512*512. Please try that.

 

[Glaeder]

Sorry The J
I though, only for my problems I shouldn't open a new thread.

Hi-

I've just released an early version of a scifi / space colonization remake of Civ4Col (screenshots, forum thread and download link at Colonization: 2071) and would love to abduct some more alien-themed leaderheads and unit graphics from the artists on this forum.

To quote the upload blurb; "Replacing ocean terrain with Deep Space, New World continents with faraway planets, Caravels with Starships, and native tribes with alien species, this mod aims to recreate the classic gameplay of Colonization in a scifi setting." So I'm still on the lookout for as many as 3 or 4 more suitably bizarre-looking alien species. Currently I've gotten a few good candidates from cfkane's excellent fictionalization set: namely Green and Grey Aliens, T'challa, Ra, a slightly modified Rama and Dr Doom; but other than that it looks like non-human LHs are very rare on this forum, so hopefully this will pique someone's interest to create an unusual & outside-the-box LH.

As far as the aliens themselves, this is a good chance to let your LH creativity run amok without having to match a specific preconceived individual. An alien Insectoid or Reptilian or a toadlike Amphibian are several possible ideas, but I'd be happy to use pretty much any cool-looking alien you feel like creating. My only request would be to try to avoid Gandhi or Shaka animations, since those are used by several of cfkane's leaderheads I want to keep.

If you're in the mood to create a scifi unit, the mod's in need of graphics for an Armed Alien (could use the current Alien unit which I believe is from Afterworld, but armed with any futuristic weapon). I'd also eventually like to include a Flying Saucer unit, which will occasionally abduct human Colonists and kick some Earthling ass, and would love to have some cool-looking Crop Circles as an Improvement. So, no shortage of endless graphics requests here.

Issue 2 - Question re King leaderheads:
The mod also replaces the Colonization kings with generic future rulers meant to have an over-the-top dystopian feel; I've adapted several LHs from this forum which look good, but during diplo interactions they just seem to stand around and don't react to what the player does. I wonder if there's some way to make them trigger their generic Civ4 animations in-game, or would I have to replace them with new LHs based on the Col king animation files? (They don't have to do the ring-kissy thing etc.)

the current "King" cast is:
Scudder (cfkane)
Kekkonen (TheCapo)
President Cheng (nitro15)
Fearless Leader (cfkane)

Issue 3 - Replacing terrain texture for Ocean
edit: finally solved this! new space terrain comin up.

Besides cfkanes leaderheads, Ekmek has done a nice Skeletor, and there's a lizardman leaderhead out there (from C.Roland).

 

[cfkane]

Don't forget vebear's Ra. Mine is based on Stargate, but his has a falcon's head. There's a bird tribe in your mod, right?

Also, I've been planning on making some more non-human leaders that might work well for you, so keep an eye out

 

[The Capo]

Who is Nitro15?

 

[The Capo]

ah, the bassist of Rammstein
by the way, did i already request a toga for this guy?

No, it would be a lot more involved than that. You have to go into Blender and remove Caesar's body, then save that as a nif file. While still in Blender you have to remove this guy's body and then replace it with Caesar's, align it the way you want it, then rig it to the proper bones. You'd basically be making a whole new LH at that point, and you might have to because sometimes if you make an LH based on a custom LH it may not NifSwap correctly.

Well I'm making my mod, Saharan Caravans, and for the Crusader States' leaderhead, I wanted it to be Baldwin IV... However, as you probably know, he had a disease and probably wore a mask...

Obviously, no leaderheads would suit him, so I was wondering if anyone would be willing to make a good shadered leaderhead of him that is unique.

The main thing I really want is like a crusader leader with this kind of mask... That's all that I'm asking for.

Thanks ahead of time to anyone who is willing to make him...

 

[The Capo]

That would be a sweet LH for my Crusades module pack. I might make it later, although the one problem I'd have with it right now is that I don't know how to add the metallic effect to the mask. I could probably figure it out but I'm not sure.

I don't want to get hampered down with a bunch of requests, cuz I still have a mod to finish and I already have five lined up after that. So I don't want to make too many people wait too long, but when I do create the Crusades Pack I will probably make him if nobody else has.

 

[Tigran10]

I have gone tru the list here on added leaderheads and I am bewildered. Seems like there isn't anything on the late Shah of Iran. I think as some other Iranians do, that he has represented Iran (Persia) for much of the modern era (between 1944-1979 revolution) and really deserves his place in CIV4 history as an Iranian king.

I wonder if anyone would be so kind to create a nice leaderhead for him and post it under Leaderheads. It will be much appreciated.

I have some great pictures of him etc.


Hail to the Glory of pre-islamic Persia-Javid Shahanshah Aryamehr!

Thanks, but i am incompetent to install Blender, i tried already. Is there a simpler toga by another LH? i doubt. So i had to live with his for that time strange clothes. somehow it fits to him.

Sure, take your time... I mean it's not like you even have to make this leaderhead for me... haha

But just wondering, if you really want to make this leaderhead, when do you think you could possibly finish it?

Thanks.

Hmmm, if I had to give you a safe estimate I'd say two months.

This would be cool... I agree.
I can add it to the Kingdom of Jerusalem civ I created as well!

Capo, you da man, man!

Oh... well in that case maybe someone else can make it haha
