Unit design

Is it already animated?
I certainly will use it but fire from the barrels is a must have first

sharick is writing up a tutorial on animating that I will be studying intently. When he does I'll go back and redo my units, but for now they are all quite boring.

 

[Ploeperpengel]

No problem woodelf. I will just wait then until they got their effects since its just double work otherwise and I'm too lazy

 

[woodelf]

Understandable. I think fire effects should be easy, but I really have no idea.

 

[neener]

That looks cool, woodelf. Nice work.

 

[woodelf]

Thanks neener.

 

[Ploeperpengel]

Welcome to the team neener! Happy you found your way in.

 

[neener]

Thanks! I'll make a proper introductory thread, actually, so I can ask for directions

 

[Ploeperpengel]

Yes a good idea. I will post unitrequests there as well if you don't mind

Here´s one very simple reskin for the Templedog (Cathay) and another simple Nifedit and reskin for the Terracotta-Warrior I was talking about some days ago:





the zips:

Temple_Dog.zip

Terracotta_Warrior.zip

 

[woodelf]

Very nice looking.

 

[Duke van Frost]

Oh, and we should add ancient Archers for the Darkelves and Highelves before the public release (I think we only have to use the skins on the Woodelven Ancient Archer Model?)

 

[Ploeperpengel]

Probably. Can you put that into a patch as well? While working on the buttons in unitinf could you also give the biped units of the woodelves the ability to carry birds like the Woodelfranger?

 

[Duke van Frost]

I can give the Woodelven Units the ability to carry the Hawk, but I don´t know exactly all files that have to be edited to put in new units, but I´ll have a look in the customization forums.

 

[Ploeperpengel]

That's easy just copypaste an archer in unitartdefs and change the name as well as artpath.
Same in unitinfos. Copypaste the archer and change it to the Highelf archer(like woodelf but without freepromotion woodsman)
Last thing is civilizationinfos for unitclass archer gets unit_he_archer like you see there

nice temple dogs Duke. the terracotta warriors a nice to, but would be better if they were terracotta colour. (browny-red)

uups. Seems I missed that.
Hm I'm not really happy with those. I recommend using the Lion(male) as a base for the temple dogs and the naginata Samurai for the Terracotta guys(red brown skin like PL said).

I thought about the colour of those Terracotta-Statues from RL china some time - and aren´t they more white than brown (I really can´t remember) But you´re right, the colour i got now looks alittle bit boring, but it´s just a simple hue/saturation thing in PS.

I tried Wolves and the likes for the temple-dogs - I´ll also try the male lion now (also only 1 min. work - but I suppose you know that already).

thx for the input anyways - if it makes the mod better it´s always good to get some more opinions than just your own

Ah nice start. Thx Civmansam. Though I think we'll have to polish the skin up a bit- should get more detail and look less blurry. Best is the shield I really like that

@Duke
don't recall any Terracotta pics maybe I'm wrong here and just recall the colors where they are put into.
