ls612's C2C Units

[ls612]

Added all four of Hydro's requests.

Hydro: The Early Medivac did not come with a button, so it shares the late medivac button for now. Could you please make a button for that as well as the Police Mech, which currently shares the Armored Soldier button? Thanks.

@Modders: I updated the OP, to clarify that I will take unit requests from all modders, not just Hydro. Feel free to post new units/changes to existing units here.

I think the copters should only have a cost of 5 per turn unless normal ones are more expensive.

Attached is a very quick and dirty Clockwork Golem for ClockPunk. It is completely unbalanced and is missing a button. Unfortunately I forgot where I got it. I think I just searched the units database.

I believe I gave them an <iextracost> value of 5.

I'll look at the golem tomorrow.

I had that in mind but have been waiting to build all the Clockpunk stuff until after the update. Need to have it require Clockpunk resource at the very least. Infact I have stuff set up for all the "punks" but through I would spread them out for one per C2C update. C2C v21 had Steampunk, and C2C v22 shall have Clockpunk (I hope).

Here are the icon/buttons for the Police Mech and Early Medevac Helocopter.

I have been looking at the upgrades on infantry and something seems weird. Everything seems to upgrade to the Mechanized Infantry but then can become a Tesla Infantry. Thus going from a human to a machine and then back.

There is also a big gap between Machine Gun (STR 30) and Mechanized Infantry (STR 70) where there should be some unit. Just seems like a long time to have Machine Guns not upgrade into something.

Also the Flamethrower has no upgrade and probably should. Meanwhile the Marines are off on their own section which I would think should connect somewhere with the Infantry.

Same goes for Special Forces and Genetic Soldiers and Automitons.

Seems like the human type units could got together better and have the wheeled units be in their own branch.

Also the Flamethrower has no upgrade and probably should.

Here is a Heavy Flamethrower, and some extra ones, i have alot more vehicle type and cultural ones also.

 

[Hydromancerx]

@strategyonly

Interesting> I just update the SVN with the following ...

Guerrilla -> Modern Sniper

Flamethrower -> Mechanized Infantry

However I would not mid putting some sort of "Heavy Flamethrower" later.

Do you have any Machine Gun units? Like a some sort of Elephant Gun or Modern Machine Gun unit?

Honestly I think there should be a better Infantry unit than the Mechanized Infantry that the Modern Infantry can upgrade to and in turn have that upgrade into say the Tesla Infantry and/or Special Infantry.

I also need to plan out the units after the Tesla Infantry things like ...

Phaser Infantry -> Anti-Matter Infantry -> 4D Infantry

Heck we may need some new unit categories for those. Especially the 4D Infantry.

I should look to things like Starcraft or Space/sci-fi mods.

I also would like to get a Medevac Dropship or something made for after the Modern Medevac Helicopter. Or maybe buffer it with 1 or 2 more units between.

Nice model, but what's the poly count? We really should not be making things TOO detailed or the graphics will start to cause MAFs.

 

[rightfuture]

The Planetfall mod has a flamethrower in it as a unit.

Thanks and good luck!

 

[ls612]

Thanks for all the new unit requests, unfortunately I will not be able to make them until the weekend due to RL committments.

I can not figure out what is wrong with the Winged Cavalry or the Hussar, I'm posting what I have now for someone smarter than me to see if they can figure out.

Thanks for your kind words.

Ok, i got the Hussar corrected, all you did was put in the wrong kfm, thats a very touchy area with units.

You had Calvary, should be:

<KFM>Art/Units/Unique/Russia/Cossack/RussianCossack.kfm</KFM>

as you can see cav pic 1 sideways

Cossack correct pic 2

The winged one is a CTD will have to look more into it.

EDIT: For some reason the winged cav is not working correctly, might be a bad nif.

But i have an old hussar i used to have looks like below: It used to work perfectly.

Ah, thanks. Could you please post the new nif for the Winged Cav for me? Good work btw.

 

[strategyonly]

Ah, thanks. Could you please post the new nif for the Winged Cav for me? Good work btw.

Its not the xml, like i said i believe its the art, so i am sending you "my" copy of a different one, try this one, i dont have the time right now, sorry.

 

[ls612]

Thx for getting the Hussar to work, but the Winged Cav still CTDs on me, with your new gfx. I'm sorry to bother, but this is annoying me to no end. Files attached.

 

[ls612]

Sorry to doublepost, but;

@Hydro: I need buttons for the Pygmy, the Pombos, and the Mandekalu Horseman. Thanks in advance.

@strategyonly: Have you made any progress on my problems with the Winged Cav? I looked again at the XML and it all seems to be fine, but it still causes a crash on load.

EDIT: SO, nevermind me, I named the artdefines Winged_CIV4ArtDefines_Units, instead of Winged_CIV4ArtDefines_Unit, so it was an incredibly stupid mistake .
