Could someone clip the wings of this FfH succubus please? Basically, she should be human.

Here you go. The wings are still there, but now you can remove them with NifSkope. I also made the knife a separate mesh so you can remove it as well if you like.

Thank you, SaibotLieh!

I have a Wild Boar Unit. Unfortunately, the Sounds for this animal is that of a wolf. I want to change the sounds to the Boar. I have created 6 sound files, which are attached with the graphics for the Wild Boar. If someone could create a custom kfm file for the Wild Boar, I would be most thankful.

It's a bit more complicated to give units a new sound, entries in the Audio3DScripts.xml and AudioDefines.xml are necessary and the single kf files have to be edit accordingly. I've created a modcomp that replaces the wolf graphic with the boar one to give you all the necessary files. Note that the audio xml files are not part of the modular folder, since those files can't be made modular.
And, while I was at it, I also created a shadered version of your unit.

Btw, I think the soundfiles are a bit too long, they tend to overlap with the next sounds that will be played. You can notice this best in combat.

Thanks for the prompt fix! I have shortened the sound files and published as a graphics mod comp. You can get it here: http://forums.civfanatics.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=18009

I wonder if anyone could provide me with a Charlemagne Papal Spearman that uses different texture files for teh Spear and the Shield. I tried to retexture one just now, but found that when I texture the shield, I also texture the Spearhead and the knob on the spear. I use the 128 pxl file for the weapon textures, and if someone could just make them use on like shield_128.dds and one spear_128.dds without acyually editing the texture files at all, that would be great

I've changed the UV of the spear that it not longer overlaps with the shield texture, but uses the one of the so far unused sword texture, like this:

Spoiler :

I hope this also solves your problem.

Yes... it's me again... Anyone who would be willing to take the Cuirassier and replace the dude there with a French Musketeer?

veBear, I think, I've seen something like that in the Realism Invictus unit folder. I don't remember exactly, what it was called, but you should be looking with the query "dragoon." If it's not what you had in mind, you will use it anyway, because it's really superb quality, and, I imagine, could well be in the same army like your cuirassier.

 

[Keinpferd]

^Nope, it will not fit the same army at all. Why? Secret so far.

Btw I don't have Realism Invictus, and if I remember correctly, that's a huge mod, so to download only for a single unit might be a little too much.

You think? Anyhow, the unit art over there is knocking me off my socks. I'm sure they would let people use their elsewhere unpublished secret stuff.

Hello everyone.

I have a (hopefully) small request, maybe someone already did it. Here it is: a Cannon unit without crew/cannoneers. Why? Not because is logical, but because all artillery pieces don't have crew, except Cannon. Plus, it will save me a great amount of time, adding ethnicly correct piece of cannon for every civ is, well, not very easy to do.

P.S. How to put some reskinned unit to database? I reskinned two units from Napoleonic era, but i'm not familiar with the procedure of uploading.

Most people are not aware of how to apply skins to a normal unit, therefore it's in most cases easier if you take the model with all the required files (so all .nif files, all .dds files), .zip it, so that it's ready to use if you change the .nif, and upload it.
And because i know the question will be asked: Images can be uploaded to database entries after the entry creation .

Yes, I'm aware of that, having trouble myself with incorrect animations etc. Therefore I'm very thankful when I found txt file or something with instructions.

My question was more like: how to upload anything to civfanatic database?

 

[Jwitti]

Click on the download database, then click Upload File. A thing will come up and you type the description, name, and there at the bottom is where you'd upload the file

Thanks for the info, I did as you suggested. I noticed that I cannot download my own uploaded files, do I have to wait someone to approve my thread or a datebase file?

 

[The_J]

Until you've been registered for 30 days and you have 30 posts, an administrator (so not me, i'm moderator) will have to approve the files (to prevent that malicious stuff gets uploaded to the database).

Ok, thanx for the info.

 

[dacubz145]

Nevermindmp, the j already wrote it, hahaha o well

 

[Jwitti]

EDIT: same as dacubz145.. but I like my story suggestions.

it goes directly into the 'moderation queue' unless you've been a member for 30 days AND you have x posts, I think 100... so yes, but the moderators do have a real life, so they don't get to it for a very long while.. I reccomend reading Civ IV S&T and commenting (That'd be Stories and Tales, fyi) to ramp up your post count, or even start a story. If you do that, I recommend these:
The Mars Chronicles by Southern King The Alternative History of France by Heitorcccp Ramkhamaeng of the Incas by Volkarya No Cities Left Behind (The Super-Secret History of the Mongols) and Welcome to RandomLand! by MaxWar and tell them Jwitti sent you! Also, check out the Funny Screenshots page, where you can see and put up your own odd occurrences and pictures.

 

[Jwitti]

I never got through it all... and I must have missed subbing that, because I just went through my subscribed threads and chose my favorites

 

[dmalleus]

Ok, i have another question: can anyone download my files until I reach 30 posts & days (day requirement is already done) ?

 

[The_J]

If an admin approves them, then yes.
