Glest: New Dawn

[Einherjar11]

Credit to ElimiNator, Mr.War for their knight and crossbowman. It's very very fantastic!
Background Story:
The raging crusade between technology and magic has erupted. Led by the army of knights who believe in god and science, The Tech able to captured most of the region in the kingdom. The Magic led by an archmagicians started a counter attack, with an army consist of mythical creatures they start to raid Tech's territory. Will this war of sorrow end? Will peace will return? The choice is yours!
Unit:
Tech - Time passed lad. Bring out crossbowmen!
Add
1.Knight - Clad in steel armor, The knight fight valiantly determined to restore the land. With their halberd of cause!
2.Swordman* - A new generation of guards and swordsmen. Like they predecessor they're armed with sword and shield.
3.Crossbowman - Time past, Warriors armed with bow and arrows are outdated so they invented a new weapon, Crossbow.
4.Spearman - Marching in a organized formation they use their spear to kill those pesky deamons!
Magic - will get nerf, Yep I said they'll become more easy to beat. But not that easy! They isn't much to change here, Mostly is the status of the Units.
If you have a model of musketeer please tell me!
* This is not the same swordman you know he use guard's model.

Good luck

Ps. How cone they believe in both god and science? (hides)

I'm have a problem.
Error loading Faction Types: techs/magitech
Error loading units: techs/magitech/factions/tech
Error loading unitType:
techs/magitech/factions/tech/units/technician/technician.xml
Unit not found: swordman

[Mr War]

So you deleted swordsman but you still have it referenced in other unit xmls.

[Einherjar11]

Okay thank you but why technician have a reference with swordman?

[Coldfusionstorm]

He have a ability that can heal other units, this ability is refering to the the swordman(because you can define wich units are able to be healed).

[Einherjar11]

Already finishing all of issue that have swordman include! But this is only a first step for my mod.

[Einherjar11]

Good luck

Like the Illuminati I guess.

Thank you, Though I'm little bit understanding it but I'll try to figure it out.

[Psychedelic_hands]

Goodluck man! I seriously wish you all the best, especially if you have any interest at all in learning how to model and animate. I urge you to never give up, learning new things is always daunting. 

And don't be afraid to ask for help!

hey man!
it was tough for me at first, but i took it one step at a time by my self and figured it out.
Lucky for you, we at this forum are here to help in any way we can. (:

I would like to know which program is easy for a beginner like me to make an animation for troops?

[MightyMic]

Blender is pretty much what everyone uses... (I think Ishmaru use 3ds max) but this is a pretty complex program and difficult to grasp at first. Before really getting into Blender I would recommend the "Getting Started tutorial" at Blender Tutorials and if you want to animate scroll down to the animation section. The "Rigging Mechanical Pistons" really helped me out when I was first starting animation... although I do consider myself a noob still

[njam2]

yeah Blender is the program for you 

[Omega]

I would personally recommend Blender 3D: Noob to Pro for any type of Blender learning, animation and otherwise.

Got a problem with unit's texturepack.   

[Mr War]

The texture (skin) is usually tga file (could also be png). It needs to be saved in the same folder as the model.

I did it but still not working what shall I do Mr.War?

[Mr War]

If you've changed the tga and/or resaved it, make sure you didn't enable compression. Also this may sound dumb, but check you have the right texture ;-)

You need to be more descriptive as to what the issue is. Are you getting a white model when exported? If so, make sure the texture is linked as per here. If you're refering to inability to view the texture on the model while in Blender, also see here.

And a few simple basics: If you saved the file as any other type, ensure that you resaved it as TGA (though I'd personally recommend you use PNG instead; be sure to turn off RLE compression if using TGA), not just tried to rename the file with a different extension. If the G3D viewer throws any kind of error, post it. If you've renamed the file ever, be sure to relink it in Blender (as per the links above). If the file is in a format besides TGA or PNG, convert it, Glest and its forks don't support, for example, PSD (Photoshop) or XCF (the GIMP) won't work. Yes, BMP and JPG are supported, but there's no particular reason to use either, as BMP is just TGA without an alpha channel and JPG has lossely compression.

None of those work? Either be more descriptive or post your model (and texture) here. Upload them in an archive to a file host such as Mediafire and post the link.

The crossbowmen become grey no matter I try all of the advice. perhaps the Tech have to turn back to they good ol' bow and arrows(to knee)

Upload the model and texture and we'll take a look (archive them in a format such as 7z or zip and upload to a site such as MediaFire).
