Native Warrior (Flavour Unit)

[Chuggi]

This is a flavour unit for the Inca or the Aztecs.

If you would like to use this in your mod please remember to give me credit! Thanks and enjoy!

Thanks. I'll have to make another LotR unit soon.. any requests?

 

[thomas.berubeg]

what ever you feel like making... we're not picky. (especially as we're still trying to fix that Crash )

 

[Chuggi]

I'll think of something then...

I like it a lot!

 

[Chuggi]

Thanks! I used some new techniques I learnt to make it.

 

[NikNaks]

Wow. Nice.

 

[Bakuel]

It looks great! But it makes me want to stop studying and start trying to making units again... Are you planning to make more?

All that aside though...
How did you change the head and body? You must explain! Did you use 3dmax? Or blender? Or will you keep your 3d secrets to yourself? If so that's not very nice... You want to be thought of as nice don't you? j/k

This is a top shelf unit. Great work and keep it up!

I used 3dsmax and learnt how to do the export and rigging from the files/tutorial Firaxis provided for us, and yep I'll make more units.

It's looking much flavour

WOw I'll have to alert the Total Realism team to this one...

You asked for a request and I have one:

Can you make ancient looking units for the Aztec, Inca, and Egyptians but as if their culture stayed the same as they developed modern weapons? So, a Jaguar-like unit but with grenades to be a flavour grenadier, or an Egyptian Archer but with a Machine Gun? Sorta fantasy, but I hate how the Egyptian, Inca, and Aztec units in all of the Ethnic mods turn into Arabs and Latin-Americans after the medieval period.

Great looking unit!!

I wanted to incorporate it into my mod to replace my axeman unit, but I ended up with the generic warrior unit.

Here's the coding I used. Where did I goof up?

There's your problem. This is just the normal Warrior unit. You need to change this line to either this:

Art/Units/Native_Warrior/Warrior_FX.nif

...or if this file doesn't exist, then change it instead to this:

Art/Units/Native_Warrior/Warrior.nif

The FX.nif file wasn't included, so I followed your example #2. I ended up with a big red blob instead... Sigh...

The problem was that you referenced the art files towards the wrong things. For example there was no unit called warrior.nif in the Native_Warrior folder, and the reason you were seeing a warrior is because the SHADERNIF is directed into the warrior folder, then towards the warrior_fx.nif which is the default warrior. If there's a red blob then it means that it's being directed into something that doesn't exist. Hope this helps

If you copy the code above over the top of the current axeman unit in your mod, then this will replace the default axeman.

Also make sure that the Native_Warrior folder is in the unit folder for your mod.

Egyptian archer with a machine gun? Sounds silly. I meant a Lotr request anyway - sorry.
