R.E.D. Modpack compatibilty

[Hypnox01]

Could anyone using R.E.D. Modpack (v 28 beta 2b) along with Vox Populi mod point out how to change the size of the unit models added by Vox? I am using both R.E.D. Modpack (v 28 beta 2b) and r_e_d_xtreme along with Vox Populi mod, and have shrunk/rescaled all the models for the units and landmarks except the units from vox (explorer, skrmisher, etc.)

The new units from VoxPopuli do not react to ArtDefine scale changes in DefaultUnits.sql (Units from Vox have been added to the list).

You can use it, but the added memory overhead of CP + RED will undoubtedly result in late-game crashes.

If you're just using RED to re-scale units then you might want to consider taking the re-scaling code from RED and inserting it into DefaultUnits.sql within the VP mod folders. And I can confirm that decreasing the unit scale and having more models per unit in-game can and will lead to late-game crashes on large/huge sized maps. The engine just cannot support that many models once you have land/navy/air units all in play. I love RED and Ethnic Units mods, but I had to use vanilla unit scaling to keep my game from crashing in the post-Industrial Eras.

Yup i am aware of potential game instability, but for smaller/normal sized maps i haven't had any problems yet and I've been using the mod for a while now. Let's say for the sake of tweaking how would i resize an explorer unit. I would need the correct name of the unit in this case

-- EXPLORER
UPDATE ArtDefine_UnitMemberInfos SET Scale = 0.080 WHERE Type = 'ART_DEF_UNIT_MEMBER_EXPLORER';

is this the correct name or is it EXPLORER_CBP? What about the rest of the units (the armored car, heavy skirmisher) can someone list the unit names added with Vox

also where should the artdefine changes be added which sql file (location?)

Is the ethnic units part of RED or the Ethnic Units mod compatible with VP now? I tried using Ethic Units and VP together a long while ago and they didn't work together very well.

What exactly do you mean when you say EU didn't work well with VP? I stopped using it a while ago because I play on huge maps and as Gazebo says, I started getting graphical glitches in the late game.

However, unless something changed recently, EU and VP should work fine together on smaller maps. See the compatibility thread, I think you have to delete one thing in EU.

And no, EU is not part of RED.
