📄 Description

What: Civilization V field note: a new civilization with an animated 3D leader scene on a stock leader rig. This is a re-submission of #120. That PR was closed and can't be reopened because the fork it came from was recreated, and its history no longer connects to main. The note is the same; only the index is regenerated on current main.

New field note: knowledge/games/sid-meier-s-civilization-v/new-civ-animated-3d-leader-scene.md, the first one for Civilization V.

What it covers

The mod: a pure data/Lua/art civilization mod (no DLL). Its leader is fully animated in 3D: a supplied model retargeted onto Nebuchadnezzar's stock leader rig, with all 39 stock animations retimed and edited for new proportions, the stock voice slowed down, and a supplied 3D throne and location. Released on the Steam Workshop: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3814750314
Engine facts:
- .fpk package layout;
- .gr2 string hashes and native reading/writing of light and camera rigs;
- leader scene XML (light rig, camera, cube maps, colour key);
- x86 vs x64 Granny saves;
- FGX material parameters;
- leader props and INTRO at first contact;
- mod speech via the audio tables.
Gotchas: 17 of them. Among them: DX11 at max settings blackening the scene through shadows; retargeting a thrown prop's track; launching the DX11 exe via Steam's launch options.
Verification: in game on DX9 and DX11 max settings (screenshots, video, a game-only audio recording, Lua.log), plus what was not verified.

Ownership: the game is the Steam version (app 8930), and the mod is published on the Workshop from that same Steam account.
