Model Variations

[phoen!x]

hi,

I have created a unit and would like to make differences between single soldiers. And different shields and what ever is possible to differ. Perhaps you could help me there ? Because I have no clue how to do...

Well, it's easy after you make the unit run ingame. So, Open milkshape, select, for example, the shield. Duplicate it, then rename in this way:
shield_01 <-- this is the original shield
shield_02 <-- this is the new shield
Modify the new shield as you want
Then add a comment to the new shield, writing:

shield
shield_02
0

Try in this way, and btw, i would like to see your unit

Ok, that's a littlel bit more difficult, so... i suggest you to download the basic mod folder by Alpaca:

then, really i dont know how to create a new one unit, but only how to replace a vanilla... so, u put the .mesh (and the texture) file of your unit in the relative folder ( for example: data/unit_models/_units/Az_light/) creating those folders in the basic folder of the mod...
I hope i explained good, if not keep asking
By the way there are lots of tutorial about this
bye
