Workers of the World!

[cometflash]

Plotinus... This thread and all your hard work has certainly sparked a great deal of posting...some of which is sort of related but some are off topic as is usual on most threads.

cometflash... Besides what Plotinus has already said, changing the .ini speed also requires to change the Sounds as well as the Flc Speeds for units so their animations and sounds will keep up the changed speed.
...IF you have Off Topic Questions, you can PM me rather than ask here and I will try and answer them.

I just post this question, to try helping a user, that have comment about the worker rate running, being slow (a fill post back). So was not a personal question, it was only a question, because I wasn't sure about it.

I didn't think asking such of question in a new thread, could help the other user, so I ask it here. (I don't know the users name, and I'm in a slow connection, so I don't wanna go back to check ).

 

[Plotinus]

That's fine - you can ask questions like that as long as they're vaguely relevant, which these ones were.

 

[Vuldacon]

cometflash... I was not trying to imply that your questions were inappropriate or single you out. Just merely stating that more than not, Threads where Units are posted have a way of getting Off Track and become a sort of discussion of Off Topic ideas that would really be better posted elsewhere. There are many people that would be glad to discuss and or try and answer any questions concerning how and what to do to Modify a game.
...Because Plotinus has made and posted many Workers here and your questions are concerning workers, your posts fit ok. No Worries

To Add to something Ares said a while ago...

if you are trying to change the workers throughout the game...this text works

#ANIMNAME_PRTO_Worker
Worker
#ANIMNAME_PRTO_Worker_ERAS_Industrial_Age
Worker Modern Times
#ANIMNAME_PRTO_Worker_ERAS_Modern_Era
engineer
#ANIMNAME_PRTO_Worker_SLAVE
Enslaved Worker
#ANIMNAME_PRTO_Worker_SLAVE_ERAS_Industrial_Age
Chain Gang Worker
#ANIMNAME_PRTO_Worker_SLAVE_ERAS_Modern_Era
Chain Gang Worker

I think it adds a nice diversity to the game...next up...replacing the medival workers (Worker_SLAVE_ERAS_Medival_Ages is how, just gotta figure out units)

[edit] @Cometflash: just make a back up copy of the INI, and keep it safe, then toy with the numbers until you figure it out...its really the only way to learn how things work
@Plot: any chance of a follow up unit to the "Chain Gang Worker"? A guy in Orange jumpsuit...possibly with a "civ color" and Green "High visibility vest" for highway work?...that way the chain gang guy can be industrial, and Mr County Jail can be Modern...

Also, since I noticed you did an amazon, what about a "Rosie the Riviter" for modern upgrade? a girl in a blue shirt, rolled up sleeves, and overalls(Or possibly a jumpsuit)...Bandana optional...

(Please remember that any/all workers I suggest are suggestions...you'll get no more requests from me after the Beaver fiasco)

 

[The Tuna Bomber]

beaver fiasco?

 

[Plotinus]

Beaver Fiasco - good name for a band.

Well, we'll see. I did post the animations, of course, so I'm not the only one who can do them now...

 

[Steph]

What about settlers? Are the only one available in Anno Domini? Did you release them somewhere else?

 

[Plotinus]

The only ones currently available are available only in Anno Domini - I haven't posted them otherwise. I intend to make more quite soon and release them all at once. I'm a bit behind schedule - I've just been finishing off a unit with Vuldacon that took longer than expected, and I have a couple more that I want to get done in the near future too. But at least I'm ahead of schedule with my doctoral thesis for once...

Just to know... I'll use placeholders in my mod in the meantime

 

[Plotinus]

As promised, I've now made attack animations for the Prospector. There's a preview on the front page. Thanks to Vuldacon for the sounds...

 

[Ares de Borg]

Hehe, grumpy old man. Very nice work!

 

[Pounder]

As promised, I've now made attack animations for the Prospector. There's a preview on the front page. Thanks to Vuldacon for the sounds...

Perfect, already added.

 

[Vuldacon]

I have the Prospector added to EFZI2 as a worker/fighter/explorer for the Farmers. They are Relatives of the Farmers who can get the Job Done.
Thanks for giving him an attack Plotinus

 

[Mithadan]

Sweet, he shoots from the hip! Yeah...

 

[Spacer One]

Git Owfa Mie LanD ya Varmit!! **BOOM*

nicely done

 

[DJ Bonebraker]

Thanks, Plot! This guy will go in the FF mod as a "Citizen Milita" unit (available only to civs with a democratic govt). Attack is superb.

 

[Spacer One]

Just out of curiosity, is anyone ELSE planning on doing anything with the animations Plot provided?...Am I wrong in thinking that all that needs be done at this point, is to create a model, and adapt it to the provided animations??

This is alot of workers, but there are some small gaps that would be nice to see filled...such as: Modern MesoAmerican worker, Modern Polynesian Worker, Modern Native American Worker...I would like to see someone OTHER than Plot take some of these on(Plot has DONE his fair share), since I believe that was the point of releasing all the animations

Sorry if this comes off a bit rude...its not supposed to be

 

[Stormrage]

Well.. I figure those with Poser will crank a few if their mod needs them.. Open a worker request thread?

 

[Spacer One]

But I dont have poser......

Actually you don't even have to do that - the file I provided is not an animation file but a complete Poser file with the figure and props in place, so all anyone has to do is just dress the PDM in whatever outfit they want, and render. I haven't heard that anyone is planning to use it though...
