Spanish Skirmisher

He wanted you to flame cloud strife.

But, Chieftess obliterated his spam posts.

 

[Goldflash]

Goldflash Flames Nothing.

Seriously. Nothing Sucks and I hate him. I want to shoot his dog. What a jerk.

I like your UFO/Boat/Sombreo Avatar, Blue Mofia.

Chieftess rocks

I want to be a web-site moderator when I grow up!

Oh, wait, too late

Oh well, being a playboy will just have to do for now..

Anyway, the spaniard is a great unit, I`m looking for a spot for him in one of my mods (coming soon. 5 years tops!)

 

[Gaias]

Ummm... I get the feeling I missed something here.

I wish I had some more units to post, but I have taken the longer route to unit makeing... from scratch. I have been trying to learn how to work various 3d applications (in what little spare time I have) and have only met with moderate success. Though I have learned a new appreciation for anyone that does this for a living. It is definitely a true art form in itself.

My next two units (if I ever get them done), will be Captain Jack Sparrow, and Red Imperial Guard.

 

[Mithadan]

I had that feeling too, until I realised there was a stupid post these guys were responding to that was deleted by the time I showed up to read it all.

Ooooh! I can't wait for Captain Jack Sparrow! But of course I will have to wait, and maybe I'll wait forever, seeing how you may never finish it. I wish you the best of luck and Godspeed, of course, if that does any good.

I was thinking it would be fun to make Captain Jack Sparrow. But I don't think my posing skill is sufficient to capture his very idiosyncratic movements! I mean, just think of the fidget...

 

[Mithadan]

Sheesh, yeah, animating him would be crazy.

 

[utro43]

oh yes!!!!
i think i can use this in my celtic mod!!!

 

[Goldflash]

Gaias... where did you go?

 

[Stormrage]

He was here yesterday, says so in his profile. Maybe he is preparing a huge unit pack?

 

[Goldflash]

That would be splendid.

 

[Gaias]

I didn't go anywhere.... I mean really how long can anyone stay away from CivFanatics? Seriously?

Actually I have had some computer problems (READ: the damn thing died on me! ). So all I have is a really really old comp that I am barely able to play CivIII on, let along run a graphics program.

I have been able to gain access to a more powerful computer at the local college, as it has 3ds max on it. Though I am only able to have a few hours on it, so I am not too productive when it comes to learning the 3D arts.

Funny thing is, I am hoping to get into an art institute to do this for a living. Problem is that I cannot seem to find enough money to pay for the damn tution!!! Stupid greedy private schools!

I am in the process of converting a few unit from Rome Total War, as they are easier to do that create my own. WHEN I can afford to get a computer that will run a peice of software with decency, then I will continue on creating units.

 

[Stormrage]

Its great to have you back Both your Poser units and RTW converisons show much promise!

I am sorry to open an old thread, i opened this same post in general discussion forum but Admin told me better do it on post i downloaded file, and here i am, excuse me please.

My problem is Spanish Skirmisher unit which, when i install in my game, u can see like this picture i show u:



Problem is u can see, a square surrounding unit, i would like to have a clean unit about this.

If someone, or the same unit artist maker can help me i would be very grateful, it is an excellent unit.

Thanks and good morning,

 

[Stormrage]

Hmm.. I think DarkSheer had this problem with his x-bowman unit, dunno how he solved it tho..

 

[odintheking]

It's the pink color Gaias used for the background. Instead of picking the last color in the palette, he used one of the shadow colors, so the area around the unit is perpetually shadow. Just change the last color of the palette to the one in the background, .

 

[cemo1956]

Sorry to bump,
but I didn't notice this color problem until I inserted him in my mod.

I'm not sure how to fix it, so if someone did could it be to much to ask if this unit could be uploaded again FIXED from this problem

 

[Heptadelphoi]

cemo i couldnt get a fixed one yet (and look date of my last post) so it has been forgotten for me til now i saw your post, really i dont know anybody who has a fixed spanish skirmisher, stormrage and odintheking tried to help me but i am a noob as well as modifying units, i hope somebody can help us in the end uploading it. Good luck!

 

[BadKharma]

The problem is the actual unit creator should upload a fixed version, unfortunately I dont think he visits anymore.

 

[Plotinus]

Anyone could fix it: you need to export the storyboards in Flicster, replace the backgrounds with the last colour on the palette, and then turn them back into flics. Not difficult, just a bit tedious.

This does, however, demonstrate the importance of testing your creations in-game before posting them.
