New unit: B-1B supersonic bomber

[TypeZero]

i just got civ 3 3 days ago (holy crap, that was freaky, air raid siren just went off at the nearby AFB as i started to type...damn drills) and i understand, for the most part, on how to install a unit, but this pcx file is really confusing me.

i dont have any of the editors besides civedit, so am i able to add this?

also, do i have to add crap for the units_32.pcx everytime i add a new unit? the "adding units" thread really didnt help me much...

thanks for any info in advance...that siren is really annoying...just ended

Thanks for the great advice Pesoloco!

To TypeZero:
You have a lot to learn.

1) Make sure the unit folder is in the units section of the civ3/art folder.
2) Put all of the sound effects into the B-1B Lancer folder.
3) open up civedit and go to any unit and select rename, then cancel, then press "a" on your keyboard, this should have added a blank unit.
4) Name the unit "B-1B Lancer"
5) Modify its stats to what you want.

I attached a units_32 pcx file that has this unit along with a lot of others for you, if you want more, ask.

For the civilopedia pictures, that is pretty complicated, I think that someone wrote a tutorial that is in-depth on adding units (Dark Sheer?). To find out how to add civilopedia pics, try to find that guide, thats how I learned.

No problema, amigo


TypeZero, there are 2 good tutorials out on the forum about adding units.

One is by Plutark:
ModMaker's Tutorial

The Other Is By Dark Sheer
How to create a convincing new unit animation

well, im doing something wrong because i downloaded the units_32.pcx that you have attached right above this post and now my worker has a B-1B icon and my settler a R2D2...

what is the number for the B-1B for which pcx to use in the pediaicons txt?

also, whats the advantage of that civcopytool thing?

i dunno what im talkin about

 

[pesoloco]

I think your problem is that you just added icons to the end of the file. This won't work. The last eight icons in the file must be the same last eight icons as in the original.

The B-1B Lancer is causing my game to crash when it gets shot down by an f-15. The game freezes on the b-1b just before it does its death animation. Did this happen to anyone else? Sadly, I have to delete this fine unit from my game.

Read the tutorial on how to use the units in game, and please don't post in threads that are nearly three years old.
