[Question] Civilizeditor Features

[Andrew_Jay]

Really cool!

I have to ask - since there are four lion pictures there, could it be possible to mix units? Like a couple of pikemen and a couple of musketmen in the same unit? Or is this already quite possible, just not as easy to do without a utility like Lopez's

You already can have any kind of mix by just editing the meshgroups in unitinfos.

Jay, Ploep is correct you can already do this in the unit infos but it is made easier by using this feature in the Unit Editor:

Spoiler :

Yes, I know I'm mean for posting another teaser image.

Will the formations editor work with aircraft as well? It's just one of those things I could never figure out. I can change the formations of normal land and sea units OK, but never the air units. Just wondering, 'cause it would be awesome to see a bunch of bombers head out on a run, only to be attacked by a flight of fighters.

Hmmm.... I don't see why not. I'll do some tests. In the mean time...

Good news, I am almost finished with Civilizeditor v0.1. This is the current set of editors included in v0.1:

• Tech Tree Editor
• Unit Editor
• Unit Class Editor
• Unit Formation Editor
• Unit Combat Editor
• Special Unit Editor
• Invisible Editor (for allowing invisible units like submarines)
• Unit Art Editor

Currently it is for vanilla civ only but when I make the final v0.1 release there will be a Warlords version available as well.

What I now need are some testers... any volunteers?

 

[ClassicThunder]

I'll test.

 

[Talkie_Toaster]

I'll test!!!

 

[snafusmith]

Sign me up for testing!

 

[Impaler[WrG]]

I'll examine the code

 

[Zebra 9]

This is crazy!!!! Wow!! I'm speechless!!!!!!! Your amazing!!!!! I believe I speak for every civfanatic when I say "THIS IS AWESOME!!!!".

Edit:
Does the formation editor allow you to make a duplicate of a selected few units? Because I made a little private piece of junk useing javascript, html, and my web browser and found that this was a must. You wouldn't believe how many times I needed to copy a line of units.
