Unit requests thread

[Kathy]

Anybody know of a unit or unit accessory(?) that is using either a straw hat or a cowboy hat? I'm trying to make a farmer by taking a reskinned worker and putting either a star hat or a cowboy hat on him.

Maybe the Old Western Ranger from Flintlock may be useful for you? Otherwise, perhaps the Rancher of Colonization could be useful.

Thank you that is exactly what I need

Hi Folks,

I tried to give the attached dragoon a new hat.

Without animation everything looks perfekt, but animated the hat is not allocated to the head.

Spoiler :

I have tried to attach the hat to all possible nodes I could find, but nothing worked...

Maybe someone has an idea?

Has anyone ever made things like drummers or standard bearers?

yea, I actually made some flag bearer as part of of Continental Guard Unit for Civ4Col.
An improved version of the generic unit (with a better flag, made by Schmiddie) can be found in the newest release of RaR Mod.

Indeed, a drummer would fit perfectly...!

 

[CaptainLost]

Sweet looks cool, I'll definitely try it out

Could somebody make unit that looks like Leonardo da Vinci's design for a tank. Here it is:

I would like to second this!

Would anyone be able to create a units animation for me? I would like to use the russian cossak animations in a way that they could be used for a "real" dragoon. In their beginning, Dragoons have been mounted infantry, so the dismount before fight. Would that be possible?

If someone could do, in addition I request the same for the "mounted infantry" from charlemange, which also fights sitting on their horse, but they would have to dismount, too.

Could someone made a "Judge" unit? You know with black robes, possibly a white wig. Your stereotypical Judge.

Thanks in advance!

Maybe the firebrand preacher from Colonization will do? The elder statesman, as far as I know, has blue clothes, so I think it is not what you need.

 

[Hydromancerx]

Oh firebrand preacher looks like it would work.

Where can I find a download of the unit graphics? Besides this nice button.

 

[Kathy]

I just added the Unit and the related Button-Atlas here, I think this is the easiest way.

 

[Hydromancerx]

Thanks Kathy!

Has anyone ever made/or willing to make a Stridsvagn 103 (aka the 'S Tank') for Civ 4???

I'm interested in using this file, but as it exists in the database it does not work properly. It was missing the texture for the gun, which was an easy fix. However, none of the logical animations (infantry, marine, paratrooper, navy seal) work with the unit. Tried contacting the author but received no response. Any help?

@Thecowwarrior
I've asked both bernie14 (the author) and asioasioasio (apparently the guy who requested it in the first place) about the animations. Waiting for a reply.

From the weapon and the naming in the nif file it should use the marine animations. Try these again, maybe you misspelled the file accidentally.

Now, blender hates me and so won't let me do anything. However, I therefore ask if someone could do me a really simple favour...

I'm looking for a bomboo spear, namely a Bambu Runcing, a bamboo staff sliced at the edge. It's really simple, probably won't take a lot of time to create. To make it easier, I have even provided a texture for it. See in the spoiler for inspiration, probably only needs to be a long cylinder!

Spoiler :

Hope anyone would be willing to spare a minute (or two) for thie common good of us all

Attached the runcing to the post. Have fun.

@Dominator2000
I sent both of them PMs a while back also.. hopefully they will respond to one of us.

@SaibotLieh
I thought the same thing, but this is how the unit appears ingame with the marines animation:

I am always amazed that these old units work even only in some way, those nifs are pretty messy.

I've created a new nif via nifswap. Have not tested it ingame, but it works in NifSkope. Also added an unit using infantry animation as a bonus.

Once again you've went out of your way for one of my requests, you're the best! Greatly appreciated! I tested the unit out ingame and it works just like it should.

My only one tiny issue though, is that our Soviet marine seems to have gained quite the beer gut since he got his fancy new nif. Is that something that would be simple to correct?
