New Buildings Discussion

[Azurian]

I know Faustmouse is busy at the moment, but having more people on buildings is not going to help. What we really need is you helping make units.

Is Units just XML coding or do I need to know 3D graphic design and make models?

If just XML I can start Thursday.

Just XML coding. However if you want to try you hand at 3D modeling or even just re-texturing exiting units then that would be a great help.

So far we have been limited to whatever stuff the people in the CFC modeling community will make and anything I can re-texture and/or make an un-animated model from.

Note if you can find units from other games and have it in a format such as 3DS, OBJ or NIF then I can get it into Civ4 (hopefully).

However in he download section there are a LOT of good spaceships and stuff we can use. And other sci-fi stuff.

Note I have already made some custom units for us. Not counting all the subdued animals.

Organic Photonics Lab has a pink icon. Please fix asap.

@ Mr Azure:

Since I am away from my modding PC and you want to change my txt files anyway, could you have a look at it and might change it?

The reason for such low values is that Orbital Building add up fast ...

It could give a max of (15*4)= 60 espionage, but since the city is size 50 it will only get +50 Espionage, which is reasonable for the TH era. If that city did not have Orbital Infrastructure, it would get (60/2)=30 espionage, since 30 is less than 50.

Thanks!

Please change ...

Service Bot Factory
Req Buildings: Epsilion Assembler (instead of Factory)

Thanks!

 

[Hydromancerx]

@MrAzure

Don't freak out but I removed the Assemblers from those new buildings. The reason is they will be redundant. Once in place I will chnage the following within my files.

Mech Assembly Plant
Req Buildings: Computer Network AND Delta Assembler

Nanite Lab
Req Buildings: Laboratory AND Gamma Assembler

And ofcourse the Epsilion Assembler will be applied to the Service Bot Factory.

Thus making it reduntant to list them since you need them to make Service Bots, Mechs and Nanobots.

 

[Faustmouse]

Is there an upgradepath from epsilon to beta assembler?

 

[Hydromancerx]

Is there an upgradepath from epsilon to beta assembler?

Oops fixed. Yeah each one should require the one before it.

Epsilon -> Delta -> Gamma -> Beta

If you have any time to work on them then those would be great to do first since they are required for so many other buildings.

Well I have to sit in a train again on monday. If Mr Azure finished all what he wanted to do with my building files, then I could make them.

Yeah, I fixed Organic Photonics Lab already. Your good to go.
I would start with the Epsilon -> Delta -> Gamma -> Beta Assemblers first, like Hydro said.

I will add new buildings + button art tomorrow too.

Edit: Its all good Hydro, we don't need alot of redundancies.
