everythings OK
but do check the INI.file though, you have some wrong file names in it...

Thanks for the info !

Here is the fixed INI file.
I just don't have time right now to test it, so let me know any other problem.

No everything else runs great no problems...though a special invitation for you for the low low price of just $9.99 I can run-test each of your following new units for ya...what sa ya....me hav lots of free time (well couple of hours each night anyway) :vampire: Klyde

Would it take much work to make an alternetive death without the missile?

Don't get me wrong, the unit is great, but would be even greater if the missile werent there...

 

[Boulboulgadol]

I promess I will. I just don't have 5 mn to do it right now.
I'll post it soon.

 

[Mardok]

very nice.... . combined with Leopard, Abrams, Leclerc... IIIWW is coming hehe

 

[unscratchedfoot]

Wow great unit dude!! You really know how to supply the goods!

 

[Risbinroch]

I take your word for it Boulboulgadol, a death scene without a missil...

You also said on the first page that an alternative could be a shell - that would be better than a missile at least - and perhaps quite nice.

Again if it's not to much work: perhaps both....? a shell and no incoming "thing" at all...

Great unit!!!

 

[Jon3229]

Nice work

I know this thread is over a year old but if Boulboulgadol doesn't have a problem I have made an alternate death scene using his excellent Ariete of course. It's just the same death without the missile which I too felt took away from the unit!

I'll upload the flc, I hope it is okay with the unit's creator, if there is a problem then I will remove the flc.

Well it works when viewing but upon play testing the death my game froze so I did something wrong, and not being a unit creator I do not know where to begin. I'm sure one of you can fix this flc or tell me what I did wrong, in the meantime I will try and see where I went wrong!

ahhh okay thanks, i'll dl flicster then!

I have to take the original and do what I did in flicster then don't I?

I can't just take the new death and import to flicster and then save can I?



I have just downloaded Flicster, is there a newer version than 0.1.1? This has been designed during the vanilla civ days so I want to know if there is a more current version?

 

[Smackdown]

I'll have to figure out and read up on how to use this Flicster program, I hope I won't mess my mod folder up, I'll have to back things up but I'm not sure how much yet. I will get back to this unit death anim once I get this program figured out enough so that I do not ruin my game by accident!

[bhiita]

you won't ruin your game no backups required. Flicster automaticly creates a new subfolder, at least in the main unit dir. I don't have experience with animationshop, but to keep the same animation you've allready done, export as bmp files from animationshop, either use Stephs SSBB to generate a storyboard or paste directly onto a Flicster generated storyboard. It's easy Just read a little on it and if you need more help, post you questions in the main Creation & Customization forums to not highjack this thread with editing Q&A

 

[Smackdown]

Here it is, it was easier than I thought it would be to figure out the program. It certainly is well done and easy to use! Thanks to moeniir of course.

Thanks bhiita for putting me on the right track!

This death contains no missile and it works in the game.
