Is this an update -- i.e., should we re-download anything?

Thanks again for all these great units!

I suggest that you download again every unit which is in version 1.1, and overwrite the old one.

Two new units, thanks to Loulong copy & paste job : Swedish pikeman and Bavarian Grenadier

I have a problem. I've downloaded all of the units that are done on both cossack threads and everything is fine until these last four. Austrian Musketeer, Highlander(musket), Streletz, Polish Musketeer.

Out of all these units these four cause the 'illegal operation' error whenever the game tries to load them into the build queue.

I really enjoy using these units in my games and definitely appreciate all the work everyone has done on the units. I would be very thankful if someone could tell me what I am doing wrong with just these four units.

I have checked the folders for spelling or spacing or something along those lines but they appear all right. With the other units everything has been a letter or space being wrong and when that happens the error message tells me what is missing. these are the only units, from the cossack collection, that I have been booted out of the game with an illegal operation error.

Sorry for the length just trying to explain. Any and all help would be very appreciated.

Are they all in the units 32 file?

 

[Steph]

Strange... I've included all these units into a scenario, and then loaded it in game, it worked fine (after a few correction in the names that should be included in the zip).

I assume they'll be in Zulu's next, highly anticipated release.

Thanks for the replys. I swapped out the ini's with units that were working, just changed the entries, all units work now. I don't know what was causing the error the inis looked the same, but they now work.

Thanks again for the replys. BTW the Mayan Pike looks good in game.

Another civ color conversion - Ukrainian cossack with a sword

Again, just like with Polish Dragoon, I did simple palette editing because I thought I could use a light mounted swordsman and this guy looked the part. He has civ-colored pants and has identical animations with the original - just with civ colors.

Ukrainian cossack with a sword (civ colors)

And here's a little preview:

 

[Steph]

The original was also civ colored, the saddle blanket IIRC

By the way, I've also added the Turkish Light Infantry copy'n'paste by Loulong

I noticed, but I thought it was unintentional as it was pretty hard to spot. Oh well. Guess two versions does no harm.

 

[Steph]

Not at all, you can do as many versions as you want. I don't mind people redoing my job (me ). My rule is : I do the unit the color I like, I try to take suggestion or request into account, but if I don't agree with one, I simply ignore it, and let the requester do it itself.

Hey Steph,
thanks for all the cool units sofar, keep em comin.

Are you still lookin for cut and paste volunteers? I have flicster and paintshop pro 8 and if someone could post a link to some instructions on how to do what you need i'll give it a shot.

 

[Steph]

Send me an email at stephane.f.david@free.fr, I'll send you the files and the viewer. Your email should accept 2Mb files.

 

[LouLong]

Steph, I have sent you the Chasseur and Pandur files. Tell me if you did not get them.

 

[Steph]
