Touareg (sort of new unit)

[LouLong]

Beware, this unit is incomplete (death missing).

Originately requested by Kal - El as a Bedouin desert raider, here is the Touareg with rifle.
It is a mere copy/paste with default, run, attack animations.
My skills being still limited, I cannot (I tried though) do the death yet, hopefully someone can complete it or my skills will improve over time.

Included as well are Cavalry death (far from perfect but the close to what is should look at the moment), some camel sounds by Ukas and pedia text (in the Readme) and icons.

You can find the preview in the next post.

Here is the file :

I looked at the flc's. There seems to be some slight problems with especially the attack-file.

The SW attack dude shakes like he's just about to catch a cold
In addition to that, many of the riffles in that file seem to have this pink aura around them (so this is a palette thingy). Perhaps the colour is exactly the same as the background (R255,G0,B255 = magenta), but the palette number is wrong

And unless someone makes a death flc, this is an immortal unit.

nice, but I think it should be smaller

Yep, it is my first unit so there should be quite a few problems.
It is definitely an immortal unit !!!
But I hope I will improve, be able to correct it and finish it.
Guess I will change the SW attack pretty quickly : that I can do.
About the rifle, do you mean in-game ? It might be copy-paste with background pb though I spent a loooonnnng time checking and correcting it with alpha-palette. It is right I tried to keep some background so that it shows up alright.

I hesitated before putting it in the completed units but since many people complained about having their computers down and losing all their files, I prefered to have it here. And yes I wanted to have one unit of mine...

Generally I think it is not too bad ... by comparison to what I thought it would be but there is no way I can compete with Kinboat, Utah and the others...

I mean I tested it in-game (cf Kal El's thread) and the size looked kind of OK, of course it is bigger than a horse but compared to Kinboat's crusader it looked kind of the right size.

Does it show differently now ? Any screenie ?

the crusader is pretty big too, but in comparison to the Knight I think it looks to big, same goes for all the pther AOE units

its still usefull though

 

[Kal-el]

The Knight is the smallest mounted unit in Civ3. Compared to the Cavalry and other mounted units this looks finie size wise.

Thanks, Loulong, for making this. I hope someday soon you will be able to finish it.

I will try to finish and correct it, Kal-El. After I am finished with what I am doing, I will get back to it. Not sure how I will work out the death though.

In-between make notes of all pbs encountered !

 

[Kal-el]

sounds good
