Level 3 Scots Sprites

[bombshellboi]

I have followed the conversion instructions to convert the "Scots Guardsman" unit from Civ 3 over into EU2.

Now the game worsk perfectly fine. But in game the sprites dont appear... its just a floating flag...

Actually the sprites appear but they seem to flicker in and out of existance...at a very high speed...

Could someone have a peek for me to see whats up? Please?

Level 3 Scots Sprites

I've confronted this problem as well with a Horse Archer and a Hoplite...
but 5 others worked fine...

Only things I notice...

a) your frames seem to be wrong for some of them, so that even if you see them they will not work as planned ( There is not one sequence that has 14 frames...I see mostly 10's and 15's )

b)What level are you trying to view them at? Since these are lvl 3, once Scotland reaches Land 31 you'll be able to see them. For any level before land 31 you will only see a flag since you haven't defined anything for them. A good way is to just copy the lvl 1 files for MIN and rename them to SCO. That way Scotland starts out with normal lvl 1 sprites and doesn't switch until lvl 3 (land 31).

If you already knew this, I apologize....just trying to help.

Yeah. I recommend that you check the *.spr files and make sure that the EXACT number of frames is listed there.

Thanx.
But how do you know exactly how many frames there is for each spr file?

Nice just jack up those x values and it should slide over

Its perfectly positioned now but im getting the "dead space" problem and I dont know how to fix it...

I think the dead space comes from a sprite that doesnt match the sizes of ordinary EU2 sprites. But ti appears to be the correct size - just the gun is away up high...

Or could it be that the "Stand" is only one frame?
