New skins for FAPC and Dropship

[Dancing Hoskuld]

And i think about mounted Great Hunter.
I have idea when i making this unit that before real domestication of animals and using them in full scale was simply tamming of wild animals. Tamming without knowledge how to breed them.
Great Hunters as a THE GREAT can do special things. Even ride on semi-wild animals

Indeed even though we have not implemented the Great Hunter in game yet.

btw the unit needs the Great people glow added hint hint.

Wiki says that in ancient asia jade was used as

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jade

Hmm I never knew. At any rate we have both Obsidian and Jade as resources. and the unit is called an Obsidian ____. If they used Jade shouldn't they be called "Jade ___ ?'

Could you make a set using Obsidian and then save the other for possible new UUs. It say Shang used Jade Spears. Sadly I already gave Shang culture a Special Chariot.

Guess I will have to see if any other Asian cultures I have not made UUs for yet use Jade weaponry.

Also your new Brute looks much better.

And have you had any luck with the Kora-Kora Canoe? I have tried editing it in g-max but they still export black.

EDIT: Looks like Liangzhu culture could be used for a Jade Axeman.

Ok Ill create obisidian units tomorrow. Its easy job and no problem for me.
And I see again on Kora-Kora boat.

@Sparth

I can't find this unit but we do have a Wood Spearman in C2C that looks lie its using the same mesh. Could you make an Asian version holding a sharped bamboo spear instead of wood. I would like to make a "Bamboo Spearman" for the Jomon UU.

Thanks!

EDIT: I found the unit in the picture. (see attachment)

Remember how we were going to do Culturally based equipments? Sounds like a good fit. Particularly if we can figure out how to get promos to alter graphics.

about wood spearman: I always knew that i forgot something
Today Ill make American, European and Asian Wood Spearman.

One thing for me ok.

When making these re-skins, can you please inform on the side of the unit someplace that you are using what to replace what, meaning:

In the America "earlymerchant" you have it labeled this way, BUT the actual file i need was Scout so i can use the old earlymerchant info, i must use the scout name instead, am i making sense here for you?? It will save me ALOT of time looking all this up, Let me know if i did or not, thx. . . SO

EDIT: I guess simply put, what unit did you use for a RE-skin of?? i think that makes more sense??

FOR ALL THE OTHER MODDERS:

You need to let me know if YOU are going to do the unit ART on these and put ingame, otherwise i am going to start doing them (the way I want them)??

Strategyonly:
when I done with skinning I do google sheet with bulk information about new units. With weapons what they use and nif model.

Hydromancerx:
I look at Kora-Kora boat and im fail (a little). Easiest way for me is to remove all oarsmans and put them again from canoe unit. Its only one problem: all of them got paddle from one side of the boat and this wrong. Anyone know how to flip/mirror objects in Nifskope?

Sounds like a winner, just make sure everyone can use the spreadsheet, cause like ME, i dont own a "regular" spreadsheet opener

For some of your questions you may have to take them to the larger forum audience. Most of us are currently pretty lost with the unit graphic side of things. I have the ability to learn it and figure it out as I've worked with 3d graphics previously but I found the tools used to do this stuff terribly annoying. At some point I'll start looking into some of these issues more as I go into the equipment project to advance it further than mere effects. Until then I can't say I know the answers to questions like these except that I'd think it would involve copy/paste and a bit of animation work.

Google doc forms don't require that you have a program to open them. And go get Open Office for a free version of Excel.

For now i dont publish units files. When i done with Middle East dudes then i clean all mess and start new, proper thread with all information and files.

OK i did a INGAME look at the "American" units, and well see attached for more info and what isn't working correctly, thx. . . SO

 

[Sparth]

- Headles Horseman - fixed
- Deer - unit is called Deer Archer.
- "No color on head" unit is correct. I just use snow wolf/bear fur instead normal grey one.
- Head on shoulder maceman - Can you send better screen with this unit?

Here are three of them, i forgot what the no color head one was??

 

[Sparth]

I checked myself and in my computer this unit looks ok.
I create this unit using Lighting Warrior as a template. I just remove his shield and change skin.

 

[SargontheGreat2]

Just wanted to stop in here, and say: THIS LOOKS AMAZING! How you are able to make them look so different is beyond me.
