Unit requests thread

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

Thank you oh mightiest of Toads.

@MightyToad

The "Chickens" work nicely ingame.
(Including the animations.)

Spoiler :

But for some reason they crash in Colopedia.
That is a pretty common problem however when using Civ4BTS graphis in Civ4Col.

Thus I am pretty sure one of our Civ4Col graphical modders will figure out again how to solve that.
So thanks again for your efforts.

I wonder if someone could do a modell for the Paris Gun, a WW1 superheavy artillery.

 

[Walter Hawkwood]

It was actually created as a Civ 5 asset: somebody just needs to animate it: https://forums.civfanatics.com/resources/railroad-artillery.16329/

Edit: hm, it is actually a version of Civ 4 French railroad gun converted for Civ 5... My guess one could still work off that as a basis.

 

[Kathy]

This one I already use, but it is not the same. The Paris gun is much larger.

Reading your idea again carefully, I agree, that is not that bad idea. It won't look exactly like the Paris gun, but I might so something on my own with that, which would be useful enough for this. So thank you for the suggestion.

Looks like Paradox heard your request :

Edit: this made me remember I also had this one (attached). Also French, but if you're working on one, might as well have extra spare parts.

 

[Kathy]

Hey, this one is also a great thing, I think I can use it for another unit I had in mind.
I presume, it has no animiations? Or does it use some standard .kfm? From what I can see, it has no bones for it.

 

[Walter Hawkwood]

No, just a model file I converted. BTW if you haven't started on the Paris Gun yet, I've actually found one I could convert for you, so let me know.

 

[Walter Hawkwood]

Here you go; again, just a model and texture, not rigged to anything.

Thank you. I had startet with it, but not finished yet. i will compare the models and try your one.

Kingpin and I were talking about this:

Its concept art for a hypothetical Afro Arrow 2, basically a Canadian counterpart to the F35.

Can someone suggest a good model for a Sentient Android great person?

If not, than I'd like to make a request for a Lt. Commander Data model.
https://www.google.com/search?q=lt+...HYm2ClYQ_AUoAXoECAEQAw&biw=1366&bih=643&dpr=1
I tried to do it myself by reskinning a model but it happened to be terrible and I gave up
IF someone decides to do it can it be that his uniform's "yellow" part is team color, so we can have a red-shirt, a blue-shirt, etc Data

Thanks in advance

Hey, everybody. I have a question. I tried to specify the UNIT_ARTSTYLE_BARBARIAN group in the CIV4UnitArtStyleTypeInfos file, but the barbarians remain the same. Does this path work for barbarians as well, or only for civilizations? Thanks for the advice.

 

[Kathy]

It is maybe a stupid questions, but did you change the barbarians in the Civ4CivilizationInfos.xml, too?
Maybe it is necessary to give this tag to CIVILIZATION_MINOR, too. I do not know when the game uses this.

 

[MightyToad]

To expand on what Kathy said; The barbarians lack the "<UnitArtStyleType>" in the "CIV4CivilizationInfos.xml" file. You will have to add it after "<ArtStyleType>".

<CivilizationInfo>
            <Type>CIVILIZATION_BARBARIAN</Type>
            <Description>TXT_KEY_CIV_BARBARIAN_DESC</Description>
            <ShortDescription>TXT_KEY_CIV_BARBARIAN_SHORT_DESC</ShortDescription>
            <Adjective>TXT_KEY_CIV_BARBARIAN_ADJECTIVE</Adjective>
            <Civilopedia>TXT_KEY_CIV_BARBARIAN_PEDIA</Civilopedia>
            <DefaultPlayerColor>PLAYERCOLOR_BLACK</DefaultPlayerColor>
            <ArtDefineTag>ART_DEF_CIVILIZATION_BARBARIAN</ArtDefineTag>
            <ArtStyleType>ARTSTYLE_BARBARIAN</ArtStyleType>
            <UnitArtStyleType>UNIT_ARTSTYLE_BARBARIAN</UnitArtStyleType>
            <bPlayable>0</bPlayable>
            <bAIPlayable>0</bAIPlayable>

A problem I also encountered is not making sure the tags are correct in "CIV4UnitArtStyleTypeInfos.xml". If there is a typo everything following that will not work in game.

 

[hrochland]

Thank you both very much. I overlooked that the barbarians don't have that part of the code.

 

[MightyToad]

ANY ONE please?????? see above post, thx, much needed help!!!!!!

The dragoon is missing the animations. I've posted it with them (the ones from RI).
The biker works, but you have to use the non shader version. It uses the "shrunken head" technique. Using a shader (skin partition) blows size of the head up.
The female marine just uses the marines.kfm.
I've included a text file with the artdefines I used.

Anyone have any requests? My abilities are mostly limited to reskinning, but if there is something, at least share it, and Ill see what I can do.
