Unit Request Thread 3

[tom2050]

You probably don't even need to make an actual 3d scalp model to make a unit, just google some picture, size it down, put a magenta background in, and make a 1-frame static unit that way. After all, it would probably have to be static anyways, scalp's can't move by themselves!

 

[MeteorPunch]

Okay I've done the firsts steps, if some cool dude can make a .flc out of these it will be appreciated.

One is kinda huge and more detailed, the other small, but bloodier to be more visible. I'd prefer the small one.

edit: added Units_32 and Civpedia files.

edit 2: removed.

 

[Goldflash]

Bring it back to your city to earn the respect of the chief and your lady friends.

Ah- that's why I can't get the ladies: I've never scalped a rival.

 

[andrewmarley]

Could somebody create a soviet anti-tank rifleman?
Use one of these soldiers (better the one from the right edge) and add a gun please.

Here is soviet PTRD-41 anti-tank rifle.

"За Россию! Мать её..."

"Scalp unit" unrequested. I was able to finish it.

 

[Dumanios]

I would like to request an Ion Cannon Satellite.

 

[Goldflash]

Something in the back of my head is telling me that there is already something like this?

 

[Thorvald of Lym]

There is an Ion Cannon turret, but not a kill sat. tom2050 mentioned something about adding attack anims to his satellite, but I don't know what became of that.

I put this request up since I do think the British Royal Navy is surely lacking it´s might and power.

I can see Wyrmshadows topnotch HMS Dreadnought, but then it´s very thin.

Some odd older BB from 6-7 years back and without todays standard.

Whoever gets going creating ships from the Era after HMS Warrior until WW2 have ceratin a big task. However all the medals and best of luck if some creator like that could pop up.

Variations among aircrafts, tanks, infantry from American Civil War unitl today is plentiful, but surely I am not the only one missing the evolution and arms-race of the different navies (especial the Royal Navy and even the Imperial Japanese Navy from the days of the Mikasa)

Pre-Dreadnoughts, Ligth-Armored-heavy cruisers and primary the classic BB after the HMS Dreadnoughts.
I fear that perhaps it´s the "models" that can´t be found, but I do hope this will trigger a flood of these warships in the near future.

 

[Ares de Borg]

This not enough?

Spoiler :

... etc

There must be around 50-60 ships around. Check the DB.

Please correct me if I´m wrong, but is either one of these from the time period BEFORE WWI ????
I´m sorry I didn´t get this clear that the lack in the RN is primary before WW2 and still it lacks cruisers and DD I think.

Hm strange looking Japanese Navy ships indeed or perhaps my eyesight is bad ???

Those mentioned are indeed very fine and top class and fill their need 110% but it was ships like pre-dreadnoughts RN Majestic, perhaps HMS Ocean or something lookinh like it.

Now, HMS Warrior could indeed be as it was british Armored Cruiser the rest ....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armored_cruiser

The WW1 cruisers and even during WW2 are not to be found in the DB. I might have missed them.
AND Yes Wyrmshadow did "generic" Light cruiser and Heavy Cruiser I think, but in the contrast of the myriad of special aircrafts and tanks I was hoping the braincord of creators had some models of different ships in the years from 1870-1930s.
I have looked indeed and surely not found what I was looking for.
Can´t see why I should get spanked and ridiculed for asking

 

[Wyrmshadow]

I have a lot of WW1 and earlier ships, I just dont have the damn time.

 

[Ares de Borg]

Ok, misunderstood your request. My bad.

 

[cemo1956]

I have a lot of WW1 and earlier ships, I just dont have the damn time.

So let me hope for the future then... However I know time is short ALL. Wyrmshadow you still produce a HUGE masses of units so lets hope some other that have almost your skill can find models for these ships... BUT rainy day you might get the urge
I do think that I´m not alone missing these ships. Lots of greats mods about this period of time, just to mention AOI for one.

A glimmer of hope ;-) I think

Don't hold your breath. I have been trying to get some quality sailing vessels and steam vessels constructed for some time. I have even offered to supply the models, which I might add are extremely expensive in many cases (by expensive, I am talking about in excess of $250.00 and up) and have had no success. In defense of the animators, I have to say I can understand why no one wants to do them. Particularly the sailing vessels, and steam sailors. They are quite complicated and time consuming. But keep trying, maybe sometime we will get one or maybe even two. Perhaps something like these:

To date the only two we have are the steam frigate and the Esmeralda thankfully provided by Wyrm and a smattering of monitors also provided by Wyrm if I am not mistaken. If not for Wyrm, I doubt we would have any of the ships representative of the fancinateing era.

Sry Wyrm, I forgot the HMS Warrior also.

There are alot of ship models from various places that can be found (and are free) around the net. They can be imported into free programs like Blender, and great units can be created. Blender can also import NIFs/KFs from games like AO and Civ4 and a ton others, and conversions can be done with little experience at all (animations and everything else already there). The thing about ships is that, someone with beginning experience can create a ship unit because it could be done with only a little animation (very slight rocking of the ship, turning the turrets). Help could be given for firing animations if needed. More advanced things could be skipped during the learning curve (Not saying that ship units are easy... an experienced creator like Wyrmshadow does amazing things, just saying it may be easier than a human figure in a Blender type program).

It takes some time, but it's possible for anyone to do (I'm a prime example of this, I learned what I know from diving into it and browsing the tons of help topics abound on the net; before I started, I knew absolutely nothing).

Just a thought for those who may not think they can do it (I didn't either until I realized I could after I tried and gave it some time).

OK I might give this a fast try. DL Blender and Civ4 Mikasa (from GeneralMatt). The mikasa.zip included a DDS and a NIF file and first try didn´t work to import it to Blender.
Guess I need to surf around to find instructions and guidelines on many things.

My request is for a very mundane unit but one that will fit into almost any scenario whatever the era from Ancient to modern day .
Its for a PACK MULE

 

[cemo1956]

Has anybody seen the P-26 Peashooter ??
I can only find the model for Civ4...

I second this request.
