Unit requests thread

It is only supposed to fire its rocket when it intercepts an aircraft. Not necessarily when it is attacked by an aircraft, it'll just default to its rangedstrike/rangedhurt kfs, but when it intercepts ones. I have literally never seen this happen in game though. Probably because I never use SAM infantry due to them being weaker than base infantry which come earlier.

At any rate if you wanted the Sam Infantry to only use its SAM in combat you could just copy all of the anti-air kfs and rename them to ranged.

For instance saminfantry_md_anti-air_idle would become saminfantry_md_ranged_idle
saminfantry_md_anti-airfortify would become saminfantry_md_rangedfortify and so on and so forth.

 

Ah I see, thank you again! =)

Another question, what determines when unit is selected if it speaks back or make machine sounds? I looked at various files, but I can't seem to tell what makes warrior speak and makes tank do "zvvvzzmm" =)

 

In CIV4ArtDefines_Unit.xml, at the bottom of an entry there are two optional tags for <SelectionSound> and <ActionSound>. When these are excluded altogether (i.e. most land units) they default to the civ's speech as defined in CIV4CivilizationInfos.xml. Firaxis uses existing incidental sounds for vehicles, but it's entirely possible to swap these with custom sets&#8212;I've made mods giving individual units their own unique VOs, like in several RTS titles.

 

Ok i got it. I didn't realize that mech units were set to use unique <SelectionSound> and <ActionSound>. I thought there was a generic switch!
Thank you so much!


update


One more question : SelectionSound - is what you hear when you click on unit
What does ActionSound do?

 

It's the speech played when settlers found cities and missionaries spread faith, &c. I'm not actually sure what defines where it's used, since not every action triggers it.

 

Hello everyone.
I got another curious unit problem.
I got this unit from Ethinica(sp?) art mod. When you look at this unit via nif you can see that he is wearing a fur cape.
However in game, he has no cape. Whats up with that? Is there a flag that somehow made the cape invisible?

Anyone has any ideas why cape is invisible?

Thank you!

 

Question of the day:

I have tried to export early nuke bomber from Road to War mode into my own mod, but i run into a problem - when it flies to target it doesn't behaves like it does in RTW: instead of dropping the bomb in flight and bomb exploding, the plane itself is suiciding into the target.

What needs to be done to fix this?

Thank You!

 

Has This been done yet?

 

Sounds like it may be the effects associated with the unit. Those are the bits that show the arrows from bows or missionary symbols.

 

Could anyone do a reskin of the modern great general, so it looks like an admiral?

 

I think we have one in C2C. I'll see if I can get the artist to post it here.

 

Hi want improvement over the vanilla not new units where I can find them? buildings and units, easy install

 

I want a raiden mkii unit

 

I'm building a mod, where resources must be transported to cities. For this I need units-resources. These units are immobile, with a generic unit for all, type box or container, sufficient.

Can anyone make this unit?

 

I am fairly certain that is what civ4 colonization did. Although you would normally see the units, they were crates with some of whatever resource they are representing spilling out.

 

Well, there are quite a few British cold war aircraft missing!

We really need a Blackburn Bucaneer:



An English Electric Lightning:



And of course the Sea Vixen and the Sea Scimitar:





Anyone have these in plans?

 

I want a t1 light tank

 

Not sure which t1 that is but there is a T1 Cunningham, which I think is regarded as a light tank, in the mod Realism Invictus.

 

The T1 Cunningham was one that was asking for

Edit:I also want a T1 HMC

 

I wonder if anyone could provide a 3D modell of a bike that could be used together with the motorbikes animations from clanky4. https://forums.civfanatics.com/resources/motorbike.23981/
