Cool. It occurred to me @ramzay1945 may not have access to the Civ 5 models. So, I'll post the ones I converted to Obj format here. I didn't get the blockade runner/privateer. I personally would rather use the one from RI.

Oh, thank you so much!
I know how to use it

I'm attempting to use the actual Civ 5 animations for the pistol cavalry. I've had some success in converting them to kfs. I selected the equivalent ones. Mostly have a full deck except for the diefade animation. They have way too many key frames. The only thing I have changed so far is the frame rate (30fps). They work in nifskope, but in the game it throws python errors, and this assert:

Assert Failed

File:  ..\.\CvPythonCaller.cpp
Line:  290
Func:  CvPythonCaller::call
Expression:  !bAssertSuccess || m_bLastCallSuccessful
Message:

Super vague, but I thought one of the code bois might have a clue. I'm out of ideas for tonight.

I've got the normal carbine cavalry rigged to the vanilla civ4 units like usual. Also did all the riflemen yesterday.

 

[keldath]

wow very very cool.

its ok if there wont be full animatiom or not a perfect model, i dont mind.

cheers!

Them bois would have to know that the failed assertion comes from the AdvCiv mod. Based on the line numbers, you appear to use the Sevopedia files from AdvCiv as well, but CvMainInterface.py from BtS. The assertion only indicates that a DLL-to-Python call has failed. I could check in the debugger, but it's pretty clear from the Python stack trace that it's the pediaJumpToUnit call (CvScreensInterface). Looking at the line numbers,

screen.addUnitGraphicGFC​

is the Python-to-EXE call that ultimately fails. The other Python stack trace comes from the main screen, apparently, and also crashes in the EXE when calling:

screen.addSpecificUnitGraphicGFC​

So – something wrong with the unit graphic.

someone else offered to assist - Ramzey

It occurred to me @ramzay1945 may not have access to the Civ 5 models.

I'll post it here for now, then I'll make another topic.
I decided to make units in Bakuel's style after all. The units from civilization 5 are very good and I will take some of the details from there, but I like this view more.
Well, regarding the animation of a cavalryman with a pistol - there was already such a one in colonization, it was not difficult to set up the model.

 

[MightyToad]

I think the dragoons in RI use the same animations. They look to be modified Sam infantry animations for the left arm. I don't know who originally made them, but they are excellent work.

 

[keldath]

Huh awesome

im so lucky

Here, I've posted the ones I have so far. These are the easy ones. I skipped the pistol cavalry for now, and skipped to the ironclads. These are the "easy" ones.
I don't know if or when I can do the difficult ones. The dream of using actual Civ animations remains elusive. I want to see what ramzay comes up with as well.

So – something wrong with the unit graphic.

Derp.

 

[keldath]

AWESOME,

the models looks great
thank you so much.

Wow! So both the United and the Confederate States were under the control of the Brotherhood of Nod?!

Nice job BTW

Well, I'm not working so fast, but there is some progress.
I will post everything as soon as I have done it completely.
Here are new models of cavalry and a gatling gun. A cannon animation with the effect of a machine gunner is attached to the gattling.

 

[keldath]

wow wow! superb!

my mid coming along nicely

 

[MightyToad]

Yeah, I had tested that flag a while back and never changed it. This is the "test mod" for new units. There are a lot of weird left over things like that in it.

A cannon animation with the effect of a machine gunner is attached to the gattling.

This is the only real option. Someone did marry the machinegunner to the cannon for a unit, but that isn't any better. It would be cool if the gunner actually operated the weapon, and cranked the handle. I think if the Civ 5 animations can't be used it might look better if the machine gunner was omitted entirely. IMHO

Play both sides, and you'll always win.

It is not uncommon for the Brotherhood to hide in the shadows or to have inner wars

Hi guys,

does anybody of you know graphics for a Chicken?
(Ideally I would find directly the Bonus Ressource graphics below - but if not we could start working from the Unit graphics.)

I want to use it for a Bonus Ressource Chicken / Poultry.
More or less just 3 Chicken standing around or maybe walking around and picking on the ground if animated.

Best regards
ray

In only know about a turkey ressource which was in the ressource mod, but I have never seen chicken.

I didn't have a chicken model on hand. So, I used the rubber duck. I rigged it to the sheep (using the body, front legs, and head bones).

After I saw that this works I made a low effort chicken model.

Like I said they use the sheep KFM (Art/Terrain/Resources/Sheep/Sheep.kfm). I am assuming Colonization has that. Colonization is weird about effects, attachables, and shaders. I don't know if it will work there.

Need to find a use for them...
