Unit Request Thread 3

 
There have been a few novelty units, that beening said, has anybody ever made a snowblower, could be used as a Canadian Water Canon:)

For icy scenario.
 
Hi everyone,
I'm new at this forum and very interested in your Civ3 units as i'm converting them into another game (Age of Empires II the Conquerers). Your files and utilities have been very helpfull.
Now I would like to know if anybody knows how to extract and convert units from the game Heroes of Might and Magic V into Civ3 units or just animated GIFs or BMP-images.

I would like some more ( mounted) dwarven units HoMM5 - style, like riding a bear or a mammoth
(I did already downloaded the ones done by aaglo)
Hope you can help me
 
I was looking into extracting HoMM5 models myself some time back... but never continued with it. It seems it is possible to extract the 3D models, but I am not sure if the textures or animations can be extracted also. Without these, you would have to make your own. HoMM5 was made extremely anti-modding and mod unfriendly.

Regardless, it would be alot of work to do each unit; because it seems there are many complicated steps that need to be done.

Here is a link to the closest thing I could find to an explanation of how to extract a model, but there were a bunch of other problems with getting a whole animated model to render if I remember correctly; so I finally moved on from HoMM5.

I found many threads in various Heroes forums, but could never find any major successes in extracting a full unit. Some graphical genius' made some major discoveries such as the link above but Ubisoft has apparently integrated the model information into the game with special software that they have never released (something like that; can't remember all the details).

Leave it to Ubisoft, along with their dreaded DRM methods, to do something so community unfriendly. :)
 
If anybody has time and still has interesting on Civ3, could you make
the mechas from Muv-luv Alternative Total Eclipse, which is known as 'Tactical Suface Fighter'.
In this world, every fighter (F-15 Eagle and F-22 Raptor or like) is not a jet fighter what we know, but instead, they are a mecha which's purpose is to fight the alien so called BETA (Beings of the Extra Terrestrial origin which is Adversary of human race).
Currently right now I am studying to how to make a unit of Civ3, but if somebody has interesting to make these awesome mecha,
please help me!
Here are the websites that will show the mechas I talked about...

http://www9.atwiki.jp/alternative/pages/236.html (Other nation's Tactical Surface Fighters)
http://www9.atwiki.jp/alternative/pages/6.html (Others)
-Currently right now, also, I am working on translating Tactical Surface Fighters's info from Japanese to English. If anybody want some info about them, I can send you what I have.
P.S.
Thank you for reading my request!

Fox Hole

Has anyone everymade a soldier in a fox hole. I know that units in towers has been made.

Haven't seen a soldier in the ground (fox hole or trench).
 
@deltago - I dont keep track of the different mech(a) sources/universes, but if you go to the Downloads DB and search through Civ3 Science Fiction units, you should find quite a number.

@Pounder - AFAIK, no, but I'll look ...
 
Has anyone ever made a giant Dune Sandworm (I want to say Shai-Hulud)? I've searched, but I have a history of missing things.

If not, I could definitely use one (have a buddy who wants a Dune option for all fantasy or SciFi mods). I don't know how useful it would be to anyone else.
 
I second the above.
 
I know that there are lots of sniper units out there, and some really nice looking ones, but can there be one made that has attack A using the sniper rifle and attack B using a handgun/pistol. That way the bombardment would be w/ the sniper rifle and when another unit attacks it, it could use his handgun.

Just to be more realistic.

Plus, I second Pounder. (Foxhole soldier)

Navy Dawg has made such a unit. But which ... ?!?
 
Does anyone still make units for Civ 3? I'd really want to have a Genghis Khan Tabernacle. It's like a mobile shrine that contains relics of Genghis Khan. If anyone'd want to do it, I'll scan a picture I have in a book.

I was thinking of making a Silver Tree Fountain of Karakorum wonder, which would produce these units. They could be used as military police to add happiness. I guess they must have some defense and/or attack power in order to be used as military police, so it would also need some attack/defend animation. Maybe an archer or something that jumps out of it?
 
i don't know if anyone else has requested or made this, but i would like a kind of mad max style trike unit, with a single rider. And also a kind of crazy looking strong man with a machete. its for a post-apocalyptic australia scenario

thanks :)

Something like this?



A conversion none-the-less from an incremental development of Civ 3, but I animated the run (not sure if I am happy with it) and modifyed the fortify. Actually I don't know if they even 'hopped up' like this when moving, or if they moved completely under the sand. I could include a run option, with perhaps just some surface sand moving around or something.

Has not been posted yet.
 
Yes, that would be more than awesome.

Wow.
 
Beautiful. :D

They could travel on the surface (Fremen even managed to ride them), but a simple shift in the sands is probably good enough. In Dune 2000 purplish lightning would signal "wormsign"; might be useful for a fidget anim.

The Conquests Relic unit (as seen in the Middle Ages conquest) would probably fit that in a pinch.
