Love this chopper but i got only pinky model on my PEDIA so i didnt know where to plant the "gunship_prop_64.dds" in CIV4ArtDefines_Unit.xml.

Could someone tell me where or how to input those rotors plz?

Dunno what you've done there but you should have all the arit files .nif .fx in a folder called mi24 then put that folder in

C:\Documents and Settings\***USER NAME***\My Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\CustomAssets\art\units

then edit

C:\Documents and Settings\***USER NAME***\My Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\CustomAssets\xml\civ4artdefines.xml

so it reads

<UnitArtInfo>
	<Type>ART_DEF_UNIT_MI24</Type>
	<fScale>0.5</fScale>
	<fInterfaceScale>1.0</fInterfaceScale>

	<KFM>Art/Units/Gunship/GunShip.kfm</KFM>
	<SHADERNIF>Art/Units/MI24/mi24.nif</SHADERNIF>

	<ActionSound>AS3D_UN_GUNSHIP_FORT</ActionSound>
</UnitArtInfo>

That what i have but the files come into three pieces; mi-24.nif, gunship_prop_64.nif and mi-24.dds. I did something extra with prop in ArtDefines but it say an error.

Anyway im gonna take a look at MaxRiga Mods maybe i can find out how/where to correct this.

Thank guys.

Cool i like what you did or someone did there on those unit packages. Hopefully we will see more units later on.

 

[boneys26]

the gunship prop i didn't use but its in the folder it might be that the mi24.nif points to it so just ignore it and just use the mi24.nif like i have and mine works fine

also I don't think nautil is making units anymore as there hasn't been one for a while now or any sign of him

 

[Cafegio]

How about a button for the MI-24? Would anyone like to do this unit for me. Working on my new mod and trying to make it perfect , my one downfall is my artistic ability is crap.

 

[boneys26]

Nautil was going to do buttons for all his units ages ago but i haven't seen him in here I hope someone picks up this and does some buttons for his units

 

[RogerBacon]

Here's a button made from the picture in Nautil's first post at the beginning of this thread.
