Unit requests thread

[nudden]

Thanks. I had actually made the HMS victory before by stretching out a SoTL and adding a 3rd row of cannons. But this looks much better than my previous attempts. I need to get ahold of colonization, or atleast its FPK, and see what else I could make.

EDIT: Crap, I knocked my fix back a page. well Nudden look at the last page for your ship

thank you very much achilleszero, looks awesome!

*EDIT*: @sarkyn....look at attached files. there are three transport planes....c130 hercules, il-76 "candid" and another one. hope that will help ypu out.

cheers

Hello!

Unit Request - "Transport Aircraft"

I would like a transport aircraft, and can thus far only find the UN Transport Plane.

This plane would work fine if (a) it wasn't already in the mod, and (b) it wasn't quite so WHITE.

A re-skin would work perfectly, or if you could point me in the direction of alternatives, I'd be dead chuffed.

Inspiration:

Hercules

Merci!

Made one a while back:

Can I put that in my Falklands War mod?

 

[Sarkyn]

A quick note to say thank you very much to the unit-makers who've given me such beautiful work to use. I'll go away and see if I can get my first modmod working now (it's for Rise of Mankind, fyi).

Thanks once again!

PS. Anyone have a nice button for it? The attached DDS doesn't seem to render properly in BTS 3.19 :/

Thats because your using the skin texture as a button. Normally a button dds will be between 5 and 17kb. Here I made this button from your screen shot:

Thank you!

I did wonder. I knew buttons were also direct draw files, and just assumed that unit makers would throw a button in, since the massive effort required to make a unit is 100x more complex than that required to make a button

Now one final question - this is a "no team colour" version of the model. Is it a relatively easy thing to add team colour? I've seen it discussed on threads I've been snooping, but couldn't quite work out what additional element I needed...

If anyone has a copy of Zerver's Ghurka unit (he lost it) could they please post it? Thanks

A small request (I think) I need a graphic for a mod I'm working on:

Spoiler :

Inspiration picture, currently she looks like this..



I cant edit graphics or anything so if anyone is willing to stick her on a wolf I'd appreciate it I got the graphic from

Also it would be cool to get rid of the teamcolor hair and just make it black/brown

EDIT: never mind, Cybah solved it.

 

[The Capo]

Anyone working on that Casador I posted or those Korean industrial units I requested... ? please?

Also what is a Ghurka?

 

[Cybah]

infantry model (british/indian)

 

[Flying Pig]

The model isn't great, since it doesn't look very Ghurka, but they're nepalese troops in the British Army

 

[achilleszero]

Also what is a Ghurka?

They were fairly badass indian rifleman. Would make a great indian UU.

 

[Flying Pig]

1. They still exist

2. While the Indians do have a few units, they were formed and generally fight for the British as the Royal Ghurka Rifles

 

[Healz]

Gurkas aren't actually from India. As far as I am aware the majority of them are from Nepal... So they are more Asian than Indian...

 

[The Capo]

It just looks like a reskinned marine to me.

Yeah, not really what I was hoping for. Was hoping more of a unit from when they were formed/early years. Theres already indian marines and infantry in the DB.

Gurkha, also spelled as Gorkha or Ghurka, are people from Nepal and northern India who take their name from the eighth century Hindu warrior-saint Guru Gorakhnath.

 

[Panopticon]

Gurkhas are an ethnic group, they don't come from just one country. They cross borders.

I meant more in the context of a military unit, and I think I have sufficient answers now and I don't really think any more answers are necessary. Thanks a lot though!
