Are they for any particular mod?

Not for any particular mod, but I made them with Warhammer Fantasy -mod in mind :)

How did you make them? :confused: Methinks a mesoamerican one could be seriously used by Redalert, Tria, and LastConformist for their three mesoamerican mods.

Those are a great replacement for the standard game, Aaglo. Thanks and good job.

Sword_of_Geddon - Indeed! That would be very useful.

Mesoamerican ones? What do mesoamerican tech boxes look like? ;)

Hmmm...maybe the moss-covered mayan hieroglyphics or grey stone boxes and green borders. :confused:

Great job as always Aaglo. Probably use them in the X-Mod. Hopefully I can get some unique ones made myself for the other 2 project.

#1 make a backup of the file called techboxes.pcx (it's located in folder Arts\Advisors)
#2 unizip this file to the arts\advisors folder of your choosing
#3 play the game :)

Are you the lead maker of the Warhammer mod Aaglo? :confused:

Great job Aaglo! I already placed them into the WH mod. They are really great.

I have some mayan hieroglyphs as pre-made shapes for PS if you want I could look into making some........they would probably look better with a new background also though......anyone know what pcx the background for the tech boxes is?

You could ask Tria I think thats his field, he made the Aztec diplo interface and is working on a complete interface.

Just caught this thread too! I really should be paying more attention! As per usual, aaglo, your graphix work is seamlessly good. Looks like it should have been part of the vanilla game.
If you do decide to do mesoamerican boxes, you might have a look at my science advisor screen (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=3117209&postcount=53). I was planning on doing a whole interface but it won't be finished any time soon. At least not until Aztec is fully playable.
Once again, nice work! But I guess you know that already. ;)

They go in this folder:

C:\Program Files\Infogrames Interactive\Civilization III\Art\Advisors

Don't forget to backup your original.

I put them into Aztec. You should see how they look with the special background, aaglo. They're fantastic! I'll post a SS tmrw.

Here are optional tech boxes, where the yellow (available techs) colour is replaced with red colour (they stand out a bit more with red colouring).

I like this design, I'm so tired of the old Civ style.
