Unit requests thread

One thing that my mod is currently lacking is a unit maker. Up until now I've been using either pulled units from the database or my own poorly made models. I'm hoping to get someone interested in the mod who's willing to help with custom unit models.

Here's the thread for the units that are included in the mod.
 
Hey guys I have a favor to ask one of you guys that know something about animations, I use the V1 (early missile), V2 (balistic missile) for my Germans and the Tomahawk (modern missile), Tatical Nuke (without glow for balistic missile) and I would like if one of you could make them all use the standard guided missile animation where it flyes to taget and cashes into it and explode, right now the V1 and Tomahawk just flyes on after hitting its taget and the V2 uses the tactical nuke animation, I dont want the V2 and Tactical nuke model to have nuclear explosions just like the standard guided missile.

Hope someone is up for the job course it anoys me every time i use them.

Ive have attached the models.

Hello!, I also have an animation request, I tried to do it but failed :(. I made a destroyer for a Final Frotier mod, it has a rotating section used to simulate gravity for the crew.

The rotation can be appretiated here:

The attachment contains the nif, dds, blend and tga.

I hope someone is interested, will give credit in the mod.

Thanks in advance.

I have a re-skinning request. Could anyone reskin the F-117 Nighthawk to navy camoflague or also Russian or Chinese? I have seen a picture where images are provided based on what it was thought a Stealth Fighter of Russia would look like- the Mig-37B Ferret. Wondering whether anyone would reskin the F-117 Nighthawk to look like this. Also possibly with China, the B-2 Spirit could be reskinned very easily into a H8 Stealth Bomber. I will post pictures at a later date if anyone is interested...
 
While reviewing LoR's art I've found a minor flaw I need to correct. The Babylonian Longbowman is a simple reskin of the Babylonian bowman; this makes it virtually indistinguishable from the Bowman. For the record it's the unit from this art pack:
http://forums.civfanatics.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=6811

It is also the unit used in Varietas Delectat, I tried searching there. I also obviously tried the database (as I know the link and where it's from now). I need a model for a longbowman that looks ethnically apropriate, but that the user can intuitively see is a longbowman and not a bowman while playing. I'd really apreciate it if someone could link me to a useable model here or make one. Please help a brother out, LoR no longer has an artist working on it...

What happened to Achilleszero ?

While I realize this is not what you were asking for, maybe it solves your problem anyway. Instead of replacing the longbowman with a new model, you could use an archer from Ambrox' pack instead ?

At least it would make the two more distinguishable
 
but that the user can intuitively see is a longbowman and not a bowman while playing.

I have a Babyl LBM under working. It's a full LBM because it uses firaxis LBM nif, weapons and body. If you like it, feel free to ask me to finish it soon, otherwise no problem: I'll release it next february as part of a LBM package.

Thanks ambrox, I would greatly appreciate it if you could release it sooner. I was hoping to update LoR to a new version by the end of the weekend.
 
Awesome Ambrox, thank you very much.
 
What do you mean ? These are units (no need to put anything together), just use them...
all you need to do is create the xml, but that is true for all other units as well

i tried..

ive made a modular unit called specnaz ive got it all set up correctly except Specnaz_CIV4ArtDefines_Unit

I dont know which nif files, kfm and shader nif files to use...

i want the one in bottom left and i want to make another looking like top right...

Is this the first time you are creating the xml for a unit ? i.e. do you have troubles with the xml or with the units ?

Top right :

nif / fx : <whatever_path_you_use>/modern_at.nif
kfm : art/units/AntiTankInfantry/AntiTankInfantry.kfm

Bottom left :

nif / fx : <whatever_path_you_use>/Paratrooper.nif
kfm : art/units/Paratrooper/Paratrooper.kfm

This obviously is only the art, so you now need to get that into the game. In essence there are 3 options :

- replace the existing unit art with it
- use it as a civ specific version of the unit art
- create a new unit for all civs from it

Which one do you try ?
 
I'd like to request a few units AchillesZero was working on before he left.

A Medieval/Renaissance Spanish Great General. Modelled after a conquistador like Pizzaro.

A medieval and modern European Great Prophet. He was making a pope specifically.

An Indian Great General for ancient and Medieval eras.

A Celtic Great General, modelled after Vercingetorix.

A Scottish Highland swordsman, modelled after the Braveheart movie. (he was going to do a "William Wallace" GG and then a regular soldier for this one)

A Frankish GG, modelled after the Paladin Roland.

I don't really expect anyone to do all of these, but one or two would be awesome. :goodjob:
