how do i add a new animal type?

i want to create a demon for mythology_tw, we can do the unit but i want it to have the ‘flaming pig’ effect, this is so i can modify the flames to create a smoke effect around the demon.

any ideas on how i can do this?

thanks!

ok i worked it out with the help of some guys at twc, this may be a useful effect for some of you...



the way you do it is to not add a texture line, it seams that the game automatically implements the skin! it does the same for missiles, i will check the chariots see if it works for them too ~ i would love to be able to mod them.

here is the dmb test entry...

Do they die after a while of being on fire?
