What version are you playing ? Capture is by default, you ask units to "attack buildings" and their capture bar will slowly decrease. If you press ctrl + click it will attack instead

You can use Ensure macros. Not sure there is a function to check write permission. (There should be one)

Mmh ?

@Rahcul Your paths were wrong for the mesh and the texture <mesh>props/spartan_test.dae</mesh> Instead of : <mesh>props/weapons/spartan_test.dae</mesh> and <texture file="props/prop_test.png" name="baseTex"/> instead of <texture file="props/weapon/prop_test.png" name="baseTex"/>

Okay, so this error is not really explicit. It might means different things A ) Your model has more than one blender materials B ) Your model has edges or vertices that are not par of a face, to solve this in blender, go to face mode, press A to select everything, and press h to hide, then switch to vertice mode and you should see the culprits.

Oh I think I might have confused you sorry. The following actor should do it. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <actor version="1"> <castshadow/> <group> <variant frequency="1" name="Laconic Sword"> <mesh>props/weapons/spartan_test.dae</mesh> <textures> <texture file="props/weapon/prop_test.png" name="baseTex"/> </textures> </variant> </group> <material>basic_trans.xml</material> </actor>

Can you show me your xml file ? Where did you put your dae file ? In the past we only had dds for textures, now the engine automatically converts png to dds, so we use png for new textures.

@wackyserious @Lion.Kanzen Why do you want to make another rally point banner when there is already one in the game ?

No problem, always nice to see new modders We do not have armors in the main game but I guess they'd go in something like binaries/data/mods/public/art/meshes/props/units/armors/ helmets would go in binaries/data/mods/public/art/meshes/props/units/helmets swords would go into either binaries/data/mods/public/art/meshes/props/units/weapons/ or something like binaries/data/mods/public/art/meshes/props/units/weapons/swords/ Image you have a roman unit prop gladius which is a sword. with no folder the name would be binaries/data/mods/public/art/actors/prop_unit_weapon_sword_rome_gladius.xml With our last naming convention, the file name would simply be : binaries/data/mods/public/art/actors/props/units/weapons/swords/rome_gladius.xml

You can create a new folder. I'm trying to organize the art repository, and that's one thing I'm planning to add after the next release.

Sounds good. @LordGood Input ?

I don't know, any reason for only specific types to have those anims ?

That'd be great

@Itms @feneur @Jeru would be the ones to contact I guess, make a pm on this forums.

Yeah it's on my list, having an updated zip with premodifiied variants and actors I could just apply on svn would make it faster to get into public, because i guess you modified it somewhat for DE ?

Because it's three AM here is a good reason ?

It looks good to me. I'm committing this as is. See you in the next version. EDIT : Will still check the actors because reasons.

@wowgetoffyourcellphone Done -> Have fun. dude_head_no_mirror.dae

Tell me which dae head mesh should be mirrored for that specific task (I could do it for every but I don't have the time) I'll do it and then bake the texture so that you can work on it

@Rahcul Okay, the mesh won't load unless it's uvmapped. That's one of the requirement.

Can you be more specific than "It did not work" ? Can you upload the actor file here ? Also note you will only be able to see the shield in the editor by switching to actors(all)

If you want to follow the conventions said shield should be put in something like (from the top of my head) The mesh should be exported in Collada format (DAE). binaries/data/mods/public/art/meshes/props/units/shields and you need to create an actor file that will be put into nearly the same folder binaries/data/mods/public/art/actors/props/units/shields Looking forward to see what you will come up with. Feel free to ask questions if you are stuck. Also look at the wiki (trac.wildfiregames.com) there are some good tuts here and in this subforum.

Be warry though that changing the texture pack might mean having to change every single building.

@elexis

@Sundiata @elexis @wackyserious @LordGood @wowgetoffyourcellphone I created the remaining issues to be fixed most of them are nice to have I don't think any is a release blocker except maybe cc and specific names https://github.com/0ADMods/kushites/issues I added you all to the repo. Let's end this.
