New Unit: Minotaur 5/26/04

[Arne]

Hey, cool unit. It seems, it will become more and more possible crating a greek mythology scenario.

Kinboat,

I've finally got around to incorperating the unit into my mod, and I found just one, annoying problem. There's a typo in the unit's .ini file where for the "death animation=" part the file specified is "Minotaurndeath.flc" when the actual filename is "Minotaurdeath.flc". I corrected the problem in my game (so that it wouldn't crash everytime the Tomb of the Unknown King popped one of these guys out), but thought that it would be best to inform you as well.

I also gave the unit all the Warrior sounds, and they seem to fit it quite well. I could post a modified .ini file with ALL the changes, if you want.

 

[Raw is War?]

Amazing stuff!!

 

[Kinboat]

Thank you for pointing that out Hikaro Takayama. I usually try to double check my INI's for typos... Must have missed that one

 

[Celtic Warrior]

What type of sounds did you use? I have been trying to find some appropriate for a giant animal but no luck yet. If anyone has any sounds could they post them?

 

[tjedge1]

I'm using these sounds. I think they were the ones in the WH mod, but not really sure. Just unzip the folder and then place all the files into the Minotaur folder, overwriting the INI file which has the sounds typed in already.

 

[mrtn]

Damn you tj, I was just gonna post the WH sounds, had them uploaded and all when I saw your post.

 

[tjedge1]

teehee. I see you used the smilie I had recommended for the rant. I love that one, it's perfect. I figured it's about time I do something for somebody around here.

 

[DepartmentalCat]

WOW! Kinboat, you're amazing! Just please don't stop making units, it'd be a terrible loss!

 

[Celtic Warrior]

Thanks for the sounds tjedge1 .

Anyone ever thought about having an epic game with these antique fable creatures built in, as if they had existed? I.e. by expanding the early stage of the epic or just have certain places, "over the hills and far far away" where ancient beasts suich as a minotaur or a dragon or Aaglo's sea serpent could still be found .. something for yer warriors and barbarians (modded unit) to have fun with instead of plain humans...

 

[Kyriakos]

Sword of Geddon and I had planned to do a mythology mod, but there are still needed units to finish it. You'd have to ask Geddon though which ones, I don't remember myself.
