I'll give it a go, but I can't promise much

Thank you!

I'm planning on re-skinning the redxoat -if someone could make a feather I probably could add it in

i apologize if this was on one of the previous hundred pages, but i was reading about canada's new CH-147 chinooks, and was thinking it would be cool if there was a airborn infantry unit that was essentially 2 infantry + transport rolled into one unit that could maybe fly 5 squares and attack in one turn. Kinda like a paratrooper that can fly w/o an airport.

Something like air mobile (101st Airborne Division is really an air mobile division)...
Perhaps a variation of a boat's stats to hold units, and a helicopter... of course, getting it to limit the unit types it holds to gunpowder would be important...

Interesting concept...

The AI has a hard time understanding land transports. But you can symbolize it by making a new helicopter class, and adding infantry/marines flanking the chopper by adding them to the mesh group in UnitInfos. A few mods do this already.

I've got a land transport in my mod - it's great to play with, but the AI is bad with it

Exactly, thats why they are bad. It gives you an unfair advantage.

 

[phungus420]

The AI isn't bad with it. The AI will not use it, so it's a human only unit.

 

[achilleszero]

So its even worse than I thought.

Can someone make a CEO with a Coca Cola icon on his suitcase. That would be awesome. Perhaps with a button, too....but that isn't sooo important.

Thx, nudden

 

[Flying Pig]

That's easy - I could do that one too

That's probably the best way to go. Note that they only had the one white belt across the chest, generally, rather than two...

Here are 2 pics of their more recent uniforms too... if this helps at all...

Anyone fancy making a hackle?

Theres several units with feathers already. I think maybe some of Bernie14's cuirassiers might have one and I know Danrell's french knight has onw. Of course youre going to have to detach it in blender probably.

 

[Flying Pig]

That's the problem - I have a running problem with Blender

Me too. If noone else voluntiers, then later tonight i will find one that looks like your previous pic and detatch it with 3dMax and post it.

FlyingPig: here is a hackle for ya. I attatched it to a redcoats hat.

Is it possible to do a hat swap in Nifskope, or do you just put one on top of the other?

See my previous post for the feather dds.

Not sure what your talking about. You can swap the hats in nifskope, but what exactyl do you mean one on top of the other.
