Really need help PLEASE

[The_Senator]

I'm not new to modding, I know easily how to make a new unit, edit it's variantmesh with TWEAK.AssemblyKit etc. But I'm stuck on the last thing, I'm creating a unit pack, but:

I do not know how to create new unit card for units
I do not know how to add formation attack to units

There is no tutorials for these above 2 things on the entire internet, I swear. Please, could someone write or direct me to tutorials for these things. If you write one, please tell me step by step, not saying, for example 'Oh yeah just create a mask for an existing unit card and save it into 'insert file name here''. I do not know how to do masks, or anything to do with unit cards and making them or adding formation attack. Please, someone help.

hello there :-) if you can hang on until tonight brcause i dont have my laptop on me currently but i will do tonight and can try and answer these more fully, do you know where the current unit cards are located in the PFM? if you could tell me that then i can just double check my method is correct and can write in detail how to make the unit card, as for question 2 i remember someone saying the attacks were either a unit ability junctions in the DB but i may be well off or a formations ability tablr like i said i need my laptop, also can you answe this for me, what type of units are you wanting to make the cards for, what colour do you want the cards if i can make one then i will post to you and can post the process on how i achieved that, pm me also will be easier for both of us :-)

I'll try my best to explain your first question;

I do not know how to create new unit card for units

There are 2 types of files for unit cards in the game. Icons and Mask.

It is easy to create a icon, but remember: both icon and mask size should be 64x152 (.PNG files)

I assume you can create a basic icon for your unit but you have some trouble with creating masks. Well here:

1- Open your normal unit icon in any graphical editing software (I'll use PS CS6).

2- Now select wherever you want to be masked on that unit card (I'll use "Polygonal Lasso Tool" -Çokgen Kement Aracı- in Turkish)

As you can see, I want my unit card only mask faction colors (or custom unit colors) for cloak, pants and some parts of his shield.

3- Now "Right Click" selection and "Select Inverse" -Seçimin Tersini Seç- in Turkish and cut that part (we don't need it).

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

4- Now desature the remaining part and done.

5- Also you can increase brightness of these masked parts if you wish.

I hope this'll help you. Have a good day!
