[Kal-el]

I didn't see it until now. I wish I had been the first to say Thank You!

Hi Kinboat,

I love your Crusader unit and have added it to my game. Everything works great except the small pcx picture. It shows up as just a black square in my tech screen. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but the large pcx image works great.

Thanks for your help.

[BeBro]

Yup, experienced the same. I think it is because the small pic is in 24bit, not 8bit. I took the freedom to convert it, below there is an 8bit version which should work

Great unit, btw

 

[Colonel Kraken]

Hey, thanks BeBro, I appreciate that!

 

[TrailblazingScot]

Magnificient!

 

[Kinboat]

Yeah Thanks BeBro... I wish I could catch all these things before I post them, but currently I don't add my own units into the queue or anything. I actually haven't played it in a while except to test my animations...

 

[Colonel Kraken]

Thanks, Bebro. I just added you small pcx picture to my mod and it worked splendidly. Thanks to you Kinboat; your work is great. No apologies necessary.

I wanted to bump this back up to the top because I have a quick question, Kinboat. I had tested your unit in my mod to make sure I could build it, but I never used it.

I just had the opportunity to use it this weekend, and I noticed that the animations for attack and death look like they're in slow motion. Would it be possible for you to speed these up? I remember seeing in another thread that you can set the animation "delay speed" or something like that?

Especially when the Crusader unit falls to its death, it's really quite slow and looks awkward.

Otherwise, it's great. Thanks.

Kinboat,

I was wondering if you could do another knight unit using this model or a variation of it. I am adding another Knight unit to my mod as an intermediate step between horsemen the current knight. I was hoping it would look something like the crusader because I like the chain mail look better for this new unit than plate mail.

So, if you could possibly either remove the Skirt from the horse so it looks soomething like this:

or in the alternative Change the skirt and teunic to something more colorful like these, in which case I will use the more colorful variant of the Crusader as my new Cavalier unit and the Civ3 Knight will remain as is.

Thanks for at least considering it.

Ok, I've played with this unit quite extensively and I have some criticisms:

1. The unit is too big.

2. The attack + death animations seem to be in slow motion

3. The lance is too thin, particularly for such a large model.

yeah i removed the lance attack so it only fights with a sword.

 

[Kal-el]

The lance is a spear.

 

[zulu9812]

It's still too thin

Seems you´re a non-believer - this unit is great!

Ok, to 2: load it into flicster, and change the speed yourself...

 

[Cimbri]

I think it’s great. Very nice work.

[thestonesfan]

I for one don't think it needs changed. It would be a waste of time when he could be doing other units!

 

[Venger]

This would be great, except that I already have a Crusader - a foot unit someone else did.

BUT...

This is perfect as a Knight Templar!!! Thanks Kinboat, this unit is great...
