Taliban

[Duke176]

Sorry for last bad English post
The question was:

1) from the taliban zip file I've downloaded I've abtained a lot of .nif and .kfm files and I was asking myself which one to use.

2) this question maybe find its meaning in a wrong idea I have: I've created this new unit using all the xml of unit_spy. than when I checked if it was working, I've noticed that my unit hadn't the "buttons" that would allow it to, for ex., freeze or fortify - no buttons and no actions.
So the question is: what did I miss on inserting xml code that left my unit without any "actionbutton/action"?
There was a missing part of the guide I mantioned that exaplined how to get the new unit functional?

Thx again for answering.

 

[asioasioasio]

with no buttons for actions - you have probably wrong path to .kfm file
look on this example
<NIF>Art/Units/Afrika_Korps_Infantry/Afrika.nif</NIF>
<KFM>Art/Units/Marine/Marines.kfm</KFM>
<SHADERNIF>Art/Units/Afrika_Korps_Infantry/Afrika.nif</SHADERNIF>
it posts to marines units

put all the obtained files - all are important
and check one ot tuts about adding units maybe it would help

 

[Duke176]

here it is an explain shot
which should I choose for the 3 paths?

these are all from zip file.

and in CIV4UnitInfos.xml
make sure you have
<EarlyArtDefineTag>ART_DEF_UNIT_TERRORISTCELL</EarlyArtDefineTag>

<Button>,Art/Interface/Buttons/Units/Marine.dds,Art/Interface/Buttons/Unit_Resource_Atlas.dds,3,7</Button>

for unit button - probably you must create one - i don't see it on screenshot
and
and it's also setup in CIV4UnitInfos.xml - it's just example of marine button
<Button>,Art/Interface/Buttons/Units/Marine.dds,Art/Interface/Buttons/Unit_Resource_Atlas.dds,3,7</Button>


ach ok you fixed it

 

[Duke176]

yes, sorry for time loss.

I missed the correct spelling of "jihad" and I missed the "i"

Anyway thx very much for help.

 

[asioasioasio]

np
hehe - yeah i see it know too - as i said it was something wrong with paths

 

[Duke176]

I've verified a possible problem.

I've modified the new addiction of unit for Warlord (little changes of files) but now when I "click" to produce the unit, the game jumps me out to desktop any reason anyone know?

My 20th post.

 

[urututail123]

I followed all the instructions from tutorials to add this unit, however, it doesn't quite work. I can get the unit to show up with worldbuilder, but whenever I try to build the unit in a city, the game crashes. Please help. this is my first time

lazy urutu

 

[asioasioasio]

you need to fix button link -it's just example:
<Button>,Art/Interface/Buttons/Units/Marine.dds</Button>
to
<Button>Art/Interface/Buttons/Units/Marine.dds</Button>
you need to delete coma before Art
