Shiro's Unit work thread

[Kal-el]

Hah, I was looking for that picture. Woould have been so much easier, plus it has the C3C Line Infantry. Glad I could be of service.

 

[Mithadan]

Yeah, I have a few of your unit lines saved in my modding folder. One of Greece, one for the Aztecs or whomever, etc. I'm just a scavenger! Which is to say, thanks for your awesome contributions -- your maps, DyP & RaR.

 

[Kal-el]

My pleasure. Hopefully RAR4CIV will have an even bigger impact on the community than our previous endeavors.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Yeah Kal-el you've done alot and continue to do alot for the community, civ3 or civ4. Thanks for not abandoning us Civ3ers man!

Shiro: How is everything coming?

 

[Kal-el]

I expect you to move up to CIV once the mod comes out.






But that should still give you a good year to continue playing Civ3.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Probably will by then, since that Unit and leaderhead creator program i've heard about for civ4 will be out by then.

Are you working to recreate the flavor units for Civ4?

Shiro: How are your units coming?

 

[Kal-el]

Right now we aren't focusing too much on the units, since the community doesn't have the capacity to fill that need at the moment. Of course, you know I would love to see a much more flavorful representation of the unit lines in CIV, but for now we are working on developing new gameplay features. Flavor units and other eye-candy can wait til after we have everything else in place.

 

[ShiroKobbure]

well, the Hwarang has been hard to make. But it should be finished today

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

I hope the pallette i sent you works, is it the archer firing animation? Thats so difficult to do, I'd know...

Ahh, the struggles of the new unit creator . . .

I think it was in my tutorial thread that I gave a brief recap of how I make archer animations. Once you can figure out how to do it, you'll see that it's not all that complicated really.

 

[ShiroKobbure]

can I see a preview of that new swordsman ^ ^

 

[ShiroKobbure]

the Hwarang archer is done, but the Civ color is only on the sword and the helmet so its hard to tell the civ so....
I will have to change the vest to civ color and rerender the animations
T-T
aside from that it looks great! ^__________^

 

[Ogedei_the_Mad]

Could you also make a Hwarang swordsman if it's not too much trouble? I'll use the Hwarang Archer as the Hwarang and the Hwarang swordsman as a Wonhwa (supposed to be female, but you can't really see that level of detail at Civ level anyway ) in the "Seven Kingdoms" mod. I'm using SoG's Nobleman Archer as the Iybyon.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Yeah it took me alittle bit to figure that part out. It has to be rendered in civ color...

I might be able to switch the pallette so that another color shows up as civ color for you. What is the civ color supposed to be?

 

[ShiroKobbure]

I can make the Hwarang swordsman. Hwarang are just eliet knights of Korea, so they can have a spear, bow, or sword. But I wanted a longbow replacement for korea so I made him an archer.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

I was going to make a Hwarang Archer anyway btw, so don't worry about it if you don't want to make an archer.

 

[Zion_Withrow]

Musketmen went threw several stages, Wheelock(like the civ3 guy), Matchlock(Then Minutemen and Redcoats) and finally Napolianic Era Flintlocks, which in turn evolved into Rifles. I always had a desire to partially simulate this with a unit in between the two, Musket and Rifleman.

Sorry a bit late.
Actually the stages were Matchlock 1400s-1500s, Wheelock 1500s-1550s, Snaphaunce 1550s - 1630's, Flintlock 1630-1800s, the percussion cap
1800s- late 1800s, and finally cartridges as we know them.
