ls612's C2C Units

[strategyonly]

I tell you what send me a copy of exactly what you have of right now, and i will take a look and get back on what is right or wrong,m that way it will help with later projects, if you dont mind that is.

Do the ä show up in text? I recall that some error occur when using weird letters like that. Also " do weird things too by leaving big boxes.

It does, but you have to use ä instead of ä in the text file.

 

[Hydromancerx]

What?!?

 

[AIAndy]

What?!?

Ah, it interpreted the code too ^^
& # 2 2 8 ;

Without the spaces.

 

[Hydromancerx]

I still don't understand. Perhaps a screenshot of what you mean would help.

If you use the code above where you would like an ä in the Civ4 game text files, it will work (there is plenty of usage of that in there already).

1. No. The Urumi Swordsman was too cool not to have it as the Indian Unique unit.

So instead of getting a real unique unit we get just another swordsman. :sigh:

 

[ls612]

@SO: OK, Now I have four units working ingame. (Newsflash: using Phalanx animations with the Urumi Swordsman will cause problems) Could you please merge these ones into the core for me?

@DH: The other two are still causing problems.

-Jaeger: It refuses to use the animation in the Units FPK correctly, and it's limbs are at an odd angle.

-Nakharar: Still causing CTDs, removing the SHADERDEF did not fix it.

The broken ones are in the "UnitsBad" file attached.

<snip>

1. Give the Tomahawk Thrower a "ranged" ability just like the Urumi has.

2. Change Numidian Cavalry to require Berber culture.

3. Disable "Fast Worker" by "commenting" out the code for it.

Edit: I have implemented these three requests, They are in the UnitTweaks file. SO, please apply the new units to the XML in this file, not the SVN version.

Its not just any sword, its a coiled sword that is used like a wip! Its like a crazy ribbon sword!

 

[strategyonly]

OK all i did was look at the ArtDefines, and make sure the UnitInfohad the same ArtDefine throughout... you need to check the rest,

Its a Zip inside a 7 zip

Ok here is my feedback.

Nakharar
Not showing up in Civpedia

Jaeger
Look great!

Sacredband
Now no buttons or graphic (see pic below). This is ironic since ls612 had it working.

Tiger Claw
Look great!

Urumi Swordsman
Look great!

Kallarani
Look great!

EDIT: Ah ha! The Nakharar was called the Urumi Swordsman! That's why things are messing up. (see pic below)

 

[ls612]

Here are DH's requested Steampunk Units. They all work fine. Just extract to Modules/Alt_Timelines/Steampunk.

Updates
- Changed Bach's Cathedral to Acoustics tech.

Should I talk to Koshling about getting set up on the commit side of the SVN so I can add stuff myself in future?

Lets have you do some more first to get some practice in.

In short once the first set I requested are all working then we can have Koshling give you access to uploading to the SVN. Sound good?

Good. How is SO coming along with the two that I could not get to work? I saw that one (Jaeger) was fixed, how 'bout the Nakharar?

I posted the errors I found. I assume it was handed off to you now. For isntance you need to fix this ...

		<Tag>TXT_KEY_UNIT_NAKHARAR</Tag>
        <English>Urumi Swordsman</English>
       	<French>Urumi Swordsman</French>
       	<German>Urumi Swordsman</German>
       	<Italian>Urumi Swordsman</Italian>
       	<Spanish>Urumi Swordsman</Spanish>
	</TEXT>
	<TEXT>

The Nakharar's text says "Urumi Swordsman" when it should say Nakharar.

Also I added Added Nemo's Naval Academy to the SVN so now you can make the Nautilus.

The tag is BUILDINGCLASS_NEMO_ACADEMY.

 

[ls612]

Oops, doublepost.

 

[ls612]

OK, I'll iron out those issues tomorrow. I would have to agree with DH though that I like the fast worker better mechanically as a UU than another swordsman, even if that swordsman has a ribbonsword.

I have some ideas for Steampunk or Cogpunk workers that can take the place of Fast Workers. It just wound not be for India anymore.
