Please post your pictures, screenshots, and unit graphics here, if you can. I'm hoping for better organization this way.

Very nice, although how will you display the dissent in Mexico about the contested election?

I would like to make 3 graphics requests.

I need a unit remake of the Grenadier with its animation. It is to be a plainclothes protester, tossing molotov cocktails instead of 'nades. i have some skins that might start us off.

a resource symbol to represent narcotics in general.

possibly some animations for some un-animated models

My job is creating/transforming html, php or xml files (for web sites). So if you have something to do on xml files, I can do that.

Let me know if you can use the available narcotics graphics, if not let me know what it should look like...

i havent yet seen any graphics, and if the ones earlier are "drug-specific" i don't really want to use them (for similar reasons i dont want "religion-specific" references to the opiate for the masses ;) )

woodelf, i've been watching your modeling skills blossom, and i think that we can figure out a way to make an icon that represents drugs in general.

Maybe a some kind of small building that could represent a drug processing center, with perhaps a variation of the farm graphic next to it?

or perhaps simply a 2d pane with an icon that will represent drug-cashcrop presence?

At the begining, I was looking for graphics for activists (as we discuss, to replace missionaries). I think that activists should be men AND women. So I looked for women worker graphics to transform them to activists : that doesn't exist !!! I hope somebody will make it. If not, i'll learn how to do when I finish with xml files.
I know that Woodelf knows how to create graphics for Civ. Can you please tell me which free software is the best (and not to difficult to use) ?
I have downloaded Blender and its tutorial, but it looks to be a little difficult for a little boy like me. If you think it's a good software, I'll try to learn how to use it...

i know that some ppl use blender, but the 'official' is 3d Studio Max 7, and it has a 30 day trial download. dont ask me for link :(

Oops, missed this post. Sorry Garret. I haven't modeled much lately, but I'll try to think of something you could use.

i just dont know the specifics like size and all that stuff ill just make a jpeg and post it on this thread.

those are great! only one change (i like the way you've combined the two BTW)
take it off of the flag and but it on something like the seal backround, and then leave outside of it alpha-channel (blank)

Garret, I saw you are very good in DDS modifications. In the "Art\Interface\Main Menu" folder, you'll find a file named "GenghisSmoke.dds". It could be good to modify it. When you look at main menu, there is a light coming from the left in the smoke. I think it would be better to remove this light.

you know i kinda like a little light, but i agree, after looking for a while.

do you think it will look okay if it is just darkened a bit, take a little brightness off the left side?

Fabrysse
Oct 26, 2006, 04:04 AM
Yes. It's probably the solution. I didn't it because I was afraid to have a bad result...
