want to make a mecha mod

[elgato]

hello mod gang...i'm very new to the modding of civIII, i did some work with janes F18 a while ago, and havent modded since...so i'm fairly rusty...

am looking to do an anime/battletech/heavy gear mecha mod for civIII, however, i'm terrible at graphics...if there are any graphics folks out there that might fit that bill lend me a holler over at mecha_mod@hotmail.com

very interested to see who drops by...

thanks,
elgato

There are quite a lot of mecha-style units, both here and at evo-game. You should find what you're looking for.. If you look for.

thanks supa, i'll check out evo as well...am hoping to do a mod thats like the future start mod, little more fog of war though...saw some of the mech units, would like to see/create/envision more...just need a graphics guy to do it, then i can link it to the data...i'm assuming thats how the civ editor works...

Oh, I had a sweet signature for this second post of yours, elgato... It said: "The assumption is the mother of all screw-ups" . Well, not exactly like that, but close enough. You should check out Plotinus` tutorial, how to make a scenario. It covers your everyday modding pretty well

There are many mecha style units available--some are easy to find--while others are not.

If you goto the completed modpacks section here at CFC, there are two mods that have mecha units--one is called Pentagenisis by Neomega, the other is called the Balancer reloaded (TBX-R) by Kingpin. The balancer mod has specific battletech units made by riptide that were never released (meaning-you can only get the units in the mod).

If you goto the actual units forum here-- there are libraries you can browse through and also search or look for a poster named La Dav--he has made some great gundam mecha units.

The trick is to look at the units forums here and at Evo-games (www.evo-games.net ) . Also look here: (www.civ3files.com ) Remember-- look at all the unit pages here and at evo-games---alot of units slip through the cracks--hehe. Good luck

hey thanks for all the info folks, since today is the very first day that i've gotten it through my head to do a mod to completion, you've given me plenty to chew on and some good name dropping...i'd do the graphics my self, but i am graphic illiterate and dont have the cash really for the programs, but if someone could point me in the direction of those said programs...maybe they'll be brought over by a little birdie *nudge nudge*

Wasn't somebody working on a Battletech mod back in the day?

edit: it was ripptide
