WW2 ground units

[Redback]

Nice flak! But got a question about it.

If a plane fly's over it, will it use its Attack.flc in its folder or the default one from Civ3 itself (\Art\Animations\SAM\SamDefault.flc) ????

 

[Steph]

Unfortunately, AA graphics are virtually useless, as the game always play the default SAM animation

 

[Redback]

Thank you!

There's no way around this? - which leads to a question: What's the Defend field for in the .ini?

[Steph]

A way around? May be...

The defend.ini is, if I'm not mistaken, for the "last attack", i.e. the one played when a unit has only 1 HP left.

The Sam animation can be changed to a flak animation.

@ Civinator.
I know that. But then ships/civil defence will use that same animation! Also we got alot of different flak units. So your option doesnt work l

I don't think I've ever seen a unit.ini where the Defend field was populated, let alone Blank, Walk, Dead, FortifyHold, TurnLeft, TurnRight ...

Some people have been using it, can't remember who. They have been testing the use of this special field. It's used as the last defence before the unit dies.

It was Rob and, IIRC, Hikaro too?

So that means it's used when a unit is down to 1 HP?

From what I gather, "Defend" is an "extra" attack, which a defending unit has ~1/20 chance of using when in battle. I'm not too sure about the other workings of it, though, I'm afraid...

*sigh* You'd think "minor" information like that would have come in a read.me with the Editor ...

 

[19Delta]

So, in other words, defend would be an attack 4?

 

[Virote_Considon]

That's what I gather from it...

It took all weekend for me to recover from my hangover. Here's 3 more goodies I bought.

LVT(A)-1

Tatra OA vz.30

Autoblinda 41

 

[Cimbri]

Holy crap, that LVT(A)-1 is friggin' huge

 

[Civinator]

One more time, thank you very much for all the great work you are doing.

With the Tatra it seems, that there is a colour problem, especially with the front animations:

The autoblinda41 has a very funny death animation with the exploding motor.

 

[Wyrmshadow]

The material is just shiny. Only a few pixels are messed up and in order to fix it, I'd have to change the materials properties and then completely reanimate everything. I can live with the problem.

 

[Loki130]

I've been looking for an Autoblinda!
Seriously, Wyrmshadow, you're godly!
