Can you add part about adding custom button for unit? It's very simple - you just need modify the Art/Interface/Buttons/Unit_Resource_Atlas.dds and edit CIV4UnitInfos.xml. But my english is not good enough to write guideRabbit said:

The local blender expert is C. Roland so you should ask him about that. You might also check out this tutorial he wrote (though it doesn't cover animations, I don't think).I'm going crazy with frustration. I'm so close but no cigar. For the purposes of this, please don't suggest i buy stuff as an answer to problems, i don't have the cash, and if it can't be done with freeware, i can't do it and that's that. I've been told i need an MD node, but i see models like the zepellin one in the genetic era that don't use them, and from i can see, i haven't really done too much different to what was done there. I'm totally new to animation except i did 2D work about 12 years ago and don't recall it beyond vague memories.
Macs are good, static is bad, bitmaps can be ludicrously large and marketing guys are morons. Ok, that was those years summarised.
I can't find anything about how to create kfm with blender so maybe it can't be done. If so, i guess a static unit is bearable. I'd love to make my unit 'swim' though.
I have a nif i made in blender that seems fine in nifskope. It will not showup in civ, however.
I get the dreaded red globe of death. I'm using the art defines below. Can anyone tell me:
- what I am doing wrong?
- How to make a shader nif using blender or similar freeware program
- Do we have the ability to make kfm files or are they proprietary?
My units are air units, I think it may have something to do with it (because as far as I remember, it is the first time I use an air unit in a mod, and because I think that the distance between the unit and the ground may be of some importance). I took a look at 3D sounds scripts, but the only solution I can find is lowering the volume, but that would affect all units, even those which are working well currently.
When there are problems with promotion buttons that points to a serious bug with the unit. Double check the artdefines file, make sure you're not using unnecessary animation files. Also, there are a few units floating around, including couple of mine, that are a bit tricky to setup, i.e. if you go by this tutorial they probably won't work, however, at least on my side, I always provide the additional necessary instructions on how to set them up. Send me a PM if you still can't resolve the issue, with more detailed description of the problem.
Actually either will work, technically. However there are 2 issues here - 1) It's possible that these units are not compatible enough for you to simply replace the animation or the model of one and have it work correctly. You might have to do some work on the unit in the NIF viewer. There are tutorials on that in my sig. 2) Even if the animations themselves translate well from one unit to another, you still have the issue of the weapon. The machine gunner animation requires a weapon that has a tripod that opens up when the unit sets up to shoot. If you simply replace infantry's animation with MG's or MG's model with infantry's then you'll get an odd looking attack animation. You will at the very least need to give MG's weapon to infantry unit.
I'm gonna have to take a close look at that, but the only time I ever encountered this problem (Which only happened once) was due to a badly exported unit from max, i.e. it was problem with the unit itself, the way it was exported, not the xml files. See if the creators of these units know something about it. Incidentally, are these units mine?I have exactly the same problem. I already added many units in mods and never add this problem, but now, this happen with two different units
Any idea ?
Incidentally, are these units mine?
