Unit requests thread

[NotSoGood]

The balloon i used at the top of the page has no kfm

Used the balloon earlier on this page, but itndoesn't have a KFM. What do I do?

try this.

And if there's no .kfm file (not sure what animations a ballon should have ), then change the entry to:

<KFM/>

 

[SeptimusH]

thanks. Only problem is the shadow, it's an airship.

I have some requests.
Can somebody add people from Super Mario RPG to Civ 4?
Here are some of the characters:
Booster

Geno

Mario (obviously )

I want to make a Super Mario RPG mod when I finally learn how to make mods, and I'll need help with making the units. Any help making these units will be greatly appreciated!

thanks. Only problem is the shadow, it's an airship.

Replace it with a better fitting shadow from one of the other units... hhmm...one of the rockets could match. Else, if you don't care about the shadow, you can just scale it down, so that no one will notice.

Like what?

Anyway, I don't care much. Any ideas for more units that would fit in nicely? And how would I go about making a button?

Also, I need a medic skin still!

epic :d

 

[j_mie6]

you should really use GIMP it's a great program plus TheJ happens to be advertising me aswell

 

[The_J]

A: For the shadow.

Like said, whatever fits. I'd try if the shadow of e.g. the ICBM fits.

B: I dont want to get any 3rd party programs.

Not possible without (and you'll probably need some more programs even after that).
But hey, they are free, so there are no real problems.

C: any non-french male medic?

But i guess you can change the flag easily yourself .

What programs would I need to change the flag?

 

[The Capo]

A small reqest:
A unit with Persian Immortal animations and weapons, body from the Carthaginian archer from this package by Ambrox, and horse with more brown texture.
Shouldn't be too hard. Release as "Numidian Mercenary", as I will use it as UU to Numidia (to replace Chariot)

Aren't Numidians and Berbers the same thing? Shouldn't we just make a Berber civ?

Oh, and I can make that unit in like ten minutes.

 

[The Capo]

I'll make it, but unfortunately I am moving right now and am about to unhook my computer.

 

[The_J]

...um....Berbers are white, Numidians are black...

 

[SeptimusH]

Gimp...
You'll find a flag maker tutorial for gimp in the tutorial section.

No, the flag on the shoulder of the French Medic.

...um....Berbers are white, Numidians are black...

Not really, the term "berber" is mostly a linguistic and culture one. Some Berbers are white, some are black. As a group they don't fit into easy "black" and "white" labels. While many Berbers that migrate to Europe and America are from the Meditearanian coast of North Africa and can be called "white" (or at least "whitish" or "Middle Easternish" or whatever), many Berbers live farther south in the Sahara, Sahel and Sudan around countries like Mali and Niger and are blacker. Even in the ancient days, I remeber reading that some Greco-Roman authors noted that some Berber tribes were darker then others.
As for the Numidians, they were "probably" closer genetically to Middle Eastern and European groups rather then Sub-Saharan African at least going by the busts of Numidian kings. As for their skin color though, it probably depended. Anything from mediterranean "olive skin" to dark brown could probably fit depending on how much sun the individual got. Think Type IV and V on the Fitzpatrick scale. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitzpatrick_scale

 

[The_J]

Uh, that's a bit more complicated than i thought .
Never heard of that the Berbers live so far in the south, i always only thought at the coast of morocco / tunisia /libya. Thanks for the info .
