Unique Structures

[Dr.MonaLisa]

Nice. Icons are one of "easier" things though. The real problem starts when you want to add something new and have to define new entries in multiple files.

[Pabelos]

Yea I know icons are most easy to do. Next time I will experiment on adding new unit from... maybe some Civilization IV models and modify and add some new sounds. Thx to appreciate my work

Hi Pabelos!

You are correct about the regional tags:
am
me
fe
we
af

Something that has always bothered me is on the official 1.2 patch, the original game developers did add custom textures and models for the Turkish WW1/WW2 infantry units. The used _turkish as the tag but i have never been able to figure out how that worked.

Also, see this thread viewtopic.php?f=54&t=5189&p=25744#p25744
for more details on how the regional texture/modeling works. i was able to create a unique early barracks for the Africans, Middle Market for the Far Eastern, and Late Factory for the Africans. If i could ever figure out how to get Civ4 .nif files to work in EE2, i would have a few more unit buildings from that mod community

[Pabelos]

Great work with buildings brownsfan_95, btw I want to create in the future unique buildings and units for every CIVILIZATION not only for that 5 regions I know its a very huge challenge but I think that with help other people it can be done. Right now I am translating on polish language some modding pdf tutorial and Im done about 45%. See ya later

As far as I know EE4 mod, and Realistic Mod use many textures from Civ 4.
Maybe easier to look them up in already existing EE2 mods, than do the same thing?

Yes!!! exactly Mona I have downloaded newest versions of these mods and plan to implement from them some units and buildings too but I also plan from some maybe Civ IV mods if it is possible of course Btw soon I will finish my translation of Osnovy_Moddinga_Empire_Earth_2.pdf in polish and you can check it when I finish.

[brownsfan_95]

Yes, you are correct Mona; other people have done so. But it never seems to work for me...
You did point out that tutorial RGV1 had on the EE Heaven, but i can't figure it out.
I have this nice 8-10 Mesoamerican Warehouse model if anyone else knows how to get it to work in EE2

Omg, it looks like a long document, thanks.

English version would be more needed, though.

[Pabelos]

I can do some english version but in next week, I have so many work right now. Have a nice day
