Hey, have you tried MOAR units with your mod? That be sweet if they worked as well, I happen to love this from other civ games, great mod. Thanks very much!

Very impressive looks so much better in Civ 6 Imo!

 

[Gedemon]

Compatibility would require a merge then editing formations/scale in MOAR units new files, not something easy to maintain, especially when directly working on the base files.

Not sure I could find the time for that, but if someone want to do it, I'm fine with it.

 

[notque]

Congrats! I wasn't sure if this would be possible, and you got it to work!

 

[Baleur]

Couldnt More units compatability be somewhat easier to do (time-wise) if using Notepad++ and its automatic find & replace function?

Find Unitscale=1.0 replace with Unitscale=0.5
Or whatever the relevant code is, you get my point.
I could try, but i have no clue which values you edited to get these results for the vanilla units.

 

[Gedemon]

Yes, but it's not always 1.0 to 0.5 for the scale, and there are also formations, number of members and in a few cases (Scout, Rangers, ...) different members type (scout, dog) to place in the same unit.

 

[Baleur]

Yeah, i realized that after making the post. You go to the effort of making each unit look good
Though i suppose in some cases (Moar units roman Equite cavalry for example) it's just a matter of copying the standard cavalry settings.
If only it was easier than doing it by hand value by value.

 

[Cosmic Fox]

Check the downloads, Elucidus made a couple of automatic tools for doing such a thing. Check them out, he is real good at automating SQL, Modifiers etc, probably help you out.

 

[Gedemon]

Thanks, but if the artdef are stored in a database in memory and can be updated using SQL like the localized text, we don't know its structure and how to update it yet, that's the real problem.

If (or when, I hope) SQL could be used, we wouldn't need to replace game's files and compatibility would be easy using reference.

If it doesn't happen, yes, a custom tools may be required to merge the artdef files of multiple mods, it the modding tools doesn't allow an alternative.

edit: something like what PlotinusRedux is doing here

 

[Gedemon]

Gedemon updated R.E.D. Modpack with a new update entry:

version .1 for Winter patch

Convert to mod format, no need to overwrite any file for installation (you can restore the old Units.artdef in the game's folder if you've replaced it since the winter patch)

Read the rest of this update entry...

I hope this mod will be compatible with @Deliverator 's MOAR Units Mod

 

[Miyoshi618]

Hope you also convert the new units added by the DLCs. Weird seeing giant Winged Hussars stomping little Musketmen.

Doesn't seems possible ATM, see : https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/moar-units-mod.601769/page-13#post-14607678

Should be possible if the DLC are loaded first by the game, but I won't be able to test that as I don't have them.

I've pushed a version that should work for Poland units on GitHub, can someone test it ?

I've not worked on the Viking scenario units yet.

Thanks for testing, that's bad news.

Could you post your Modding.log and ArtDef.log from ..\Documents\my games\Sid Meier's Civilization VI\Logs ?

 

[greyTiger]

Thank you for making this mod for Civ 6. It was the one mod that I could not do without in Civ 5, and I look forward to many games with this activated.

 

[gelodgreat]

No problem I love your mods

@Gedemon this is the logs.

 

[Gedemon]

Strange, the artdef seems to have a different order of initialization than the mod...

Thanks to PlotinusRedux we may have a possible solution for Moar Units compatibility, and thanks to justinsy I'll be able to do some tests on Poland units too.

I'm away this WE but will look at that next week.

 

[Seileach]

this mod looks just wonderful

but i was wondering, would it be possible for corps, armies and armadas to have more models than regular units? that would look awesome
