Sorry, but I'm not quite clear about what is wrong with switching them between modules. At any rate, could you please do it, as I will be away from my modding computer until tomorrow? Thanks.

I think it is the art define stuff. I am not sure if it matters for instance ...

<Button>art/interface/sacredband.dds</Button>

I am guessing it will work no matter which folder. Better just let SO look at it since I am not as familiar with unit art paths.

@ls612

Here is the Tewhatewha button/icon.

Buttons should be in art/interface/buttons/units. that way it makes it easier to move into the FPKs when we move the stuff into the core.

Hydromancerx · Feb 9, 2012

Looks like since most graphics locations were taken from the FPK so they turned out ok when moved over. *phew*

OK I have made the final (hopefully) Nakharar unit.

Looks great! I will upload to the SVN.

Now that your getting access to the SVN I am not sure how you want to do this. If you want to post it here or just upload to the SVN and I check it there.

I am proud of this one. I took the Mercedes and re-textured it so it looks like a police car. Note this is my first Civ4 edited unit. Before this I re-textured corn to look like bamboo and wheat to look like coral. Please be kind to me. It took me a bunch of time to get it even to look like it is. So much trial and error.

There is no single formula. Taking account of counter-spies is embedded in the DLL code in several places. Below is one example (when it is assessing the probability of success on sabotage):

Code:

int CvUnit::sabotageProb(const CvPlot* pPlot, ProbabilityTypes eProbStyle) const
{
	CvPlot* pLoopPlot;
	int iDefenseCount;
	int iCounterSpyCount;
	int iProb;
	int iI;

	iProb = 0; // XXX

	if (pPlot->isOwned())
	{
		iDefenseCount = pPlot->plotCount(PUF_canDefend, -1, -1, NO_PLAYER, pPlot->getTeam());
		iCounterSpyCount = pPlot->plotCount(PUF_isCounterSpy, -1, -1, NO_PLAYER, pPlot->getTeam());

		for (iI = 0; iI < NUM_DIRECTION_TYPES; iI++)
		{
			pLoopPlot = plotDirection(pPlot->getX_INLINE(), pPlot->getY_INLINE(), ((DirectionTypes)iI));

			if (pLoopPlot != NULL)
			{
				iCounterSpyCount += pLoopPlot->plotCount(PUF_isCounterSpy, -1, -1, NO_PLAYER, pPlot->getTeam());
			}
		}
	}
	else
	{
		iDefenseCount = 0;
		iCounterSpyCount = 0;
	}

	if (eProbStyle == PROBABILITY_HIGH)
	{
		iCounterSpyCount = 0;
	}

	iProb += (40 / (iDefenseCount + 1)); // XXX

	if (eProbStyle != PROBABILITY_LOW)
	{
		iProb += (50 / (iCounterSpyCount + 1)); // XXX
	}

	return iProb;
}

The calls to

Code:

pPlot->plotCount(PUF_isCounterSpy...

return the number of units with that modifier currently present in the plot.

Well, I made it and the art seems messed up, it crashes on load. What animation should I attach to it? It looks like a very nice model/texture though.

Hmm. I don't know. Maybe check one of the other car units like the Humvee, Jeep, Mobster Car or Modern Worker.

Hydromancerx · Feb 11, 2012

@ls612

In the civpedia the Tewhatewha looks just like a normal axeman. It should look like a Polynesian axeman. Please fix that.

<snip>

I just committed a fix for that, they look similar, but are different. Toggle directly between the two and you'll see the difference.

Edit: I can't seem to get the policecar art to work, could you take a look at my work to see if the problem is on my end or yours? I have no idea how to model/texture units, so I can't figure that out myself.

It should look like this ...

but this is what I see ...

Oh, that's another problem. I thought you meant that the icon was bad, which is what I fixed. :rolleyes:

Fixed now on the SVN.

Try doing what we do for the un-animated subdued animals ...

Code:

		<UnitArtInfo>
			<Type>ART_DEF_UNIT_BUFFALO</Type>
			<Button>Art/Interface/Buttons/Units/Buffalo.dds</Button>			
			<fScale>25.0</fScale>
			<fInterfaceScale>1</fInterfaceScale>
			<bActAsLand>0</bActAsLand>
			<bActAsAir>0</bActAsAir>
			<NIF>Art/Units/Buffalo/Buffalo.nif</NIF>
			<KFM>Art/Units/Panther/Panther.kfm</KFM>
			<SHADERNIF>Art/Units/Buffalo/Buffalo.nif</SHADERNIF>
			<ShadowDef>
				<ShadowNIF>Art/Units/01_UnitShadows/HorseShadow.nif</ShadowNIF>
				<ShadowAttachNode>LionBip Spine1</ShadowAttachNode>
				<fShadowScale>0</fShadowScale>
			</ShadowDef>
			<fBattleDistance>1.1</fBattleDistance>
			<fRangedDeathTime>0.35</fRangedDeathTime>
			<bActAsRanged>1</bActAsRanged>
			<TrainSound>AS2D_UNIT_BUILD_UNIT</TrainSound>
			<AudioRunSounds>
				<AudioRunTypeLoop/>
				<AudioRunTypeEnd/>
			</AudioRunSounds>			
			<SelectionSound>AS3D_SEA_SERPENT</SelectionSound>
			<ActionSound>AS3D_SEA_SERPENT</ActionSound>
		</UnitArtInfo>

Except fill in policecar instead of Buffalo. Also use these sounds ...

Code:

			<AudioRunSounds>
				<AudioRunTypeLoop>NONE</AudioRunTypeLoop>
				<AudioRunTypeEnd>NONE</AudioRunTypeEnd>
			</AudioRunSounds>
			<SelectionSound>AS3D_UN_TANK_FORT</SelectionSound>
			<ActionSound>AS3D_UN_TANK_FORT</ActionSound>

They are from the Jeep.

I honestly don't know enough about unit animation to know whats wrong, I just know how to change the texture of a unit.

ls612 · Feb 11, 2012

Well, I figured out what was wrong, the game does not appreciate it if I name the artdefine ART_DEF_UNIT_MECHANIZED_INFANTRY :hammer2:

. I fixed that and it worked like a charm. Good job. :goodjob:

I've not forgotten, I am waiting till the freeze to make it, as it will be inactive until the new maps are added, and who knows when that will be.
