Welcome, here you will find my recolourations of existing unit graphics.

EDIT: Taking no Requests at this time while finishing requests and other mod work, but I will again take requests to recolour units shortly... Please post a message in this thread with a link to the unit page and a description of how you would like it recoloured and I will do them in the order they are requested.

All units come with updated (recoloured) Large/Small/Unit32 PCX files.

In order to save space, sound files are not included, but you can most likely get them in the original unit thread, which is linked on each unit. NOTE: You will need to update the Sounds in the INI file for these units, I use a general Sounds directory to grab all wav files from, and did not/will not go through all the INI's to change them. :)

It's probably the gif playing tricks with the colours or could be my workplace LCD display, but the skin looks more greenish grey than the sky blue I had in mind. Hmm... a zombie angel..? That is kind of interesting... :D

Nah, I'll stick with the original plan so I probably want the skin darker then to be more clearly blue.

So the original reaver had all Civ Color in place of the red color on the current one now? I can see what I can do.

EDIT: Here is Attack1 of Reaver with all Civ Colors (on Civ Color 16, Dark Grey)... note some orange/pink looking color still shows in the Reaver, I did not alter those at firs since they were also part of the fire from the missle launcher, doing so could leave strange looking side effects (I thought), but after testing it without, it's not noticeable, so the pinkish hues can be changed to civ color also.

I am unfamiliar with the original Civ Color version, but from the thread, it sounded as if this is how the original was. Let me know.... once I hear from you, I can finish this, after I complete the Elohim.

Sure, I'll take a look at good ole Abe and see what I can do. Changing the above Reaver Titan to all Civ-Color was much easier than I thought it was going to be (I haven't tested it in game though, but from Flicster it looks fine), so I can do the respray for you as well.

EDIT: Are you referring to this unit, which was in PTW as King Americans Abe?

Goldfool, when you test the unit in game, let me know if the explosion is bad looking, it wasn't possible with a regular recolour to keep the civ color out of the red part of the outer explosion (since the whole unit was also red).

If it looks like crap with certain colors, I think I have an idea of how I can divide and conquer that, to keep the civ color out of the death explosion. Let me know when you check it out; if it's not good, I can possibly re-upload a fixed version.

Sure, I will post a preview soon. As far as a bronze color goes, since there is not a whole lot of area to see, the bronze no matter what looks more just like Abe Lincoln hit the tanning beds. It is probably best, as you said, to give him a more golden look, and would probably need to be a bit on the bright golden side, in order to see it.

About the BMW, do you wish the license plate to also be civ colored along with the rest of the car, or would you prefer it to stay white colored (or any other color). The license plate is currently the only civ colored thing on the car, this is why I ask... once I hear from you, I can complete it and post it up.

Regarding, the explosion on the death animation, it would be nice if the explosion could be fixed, but it is not urgently required.

The Death Animation of the Reaver (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=8438402&postcount=35) has been fixed, and I re-uploaded the corrected unit rar file. It does look much better now :) and wasn't too difficult to fix.

A greenskinned Seraphim (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showpost.php?p=1886488&postcount=1) keeping the wings brownish, with copper-/bronzecoloured armour and spearhead, and with brown or red hair (to be used as a nature spirit/winged dryad/large sprite)

Sure thing, I will get to them once I complete KingArthurs Abe Lincoln (which should be tonight). That reminds me, I still have a bunch of recoloured units that I have yet to put up here, maybe I'll do that tomorrow.

By the way all, initially I was only doing Fantasy/Medieval units, but I will take any request for any unit of any time period :)

which one to choose?

That's the fella tom2050. I can see what you mean about the limited amount of pixels - might not be so noticeable at civ scale -maybe post a preview so we decide whether it will be worth doing. Thinking about the colour - perhaps the colours in Plot's golden units might be good to aim for: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=249290

Here are a couple previews for you... It's tough to get a direct golden or bronze look, but I can adjust either of these colors if need be to get a closer look to what you are aiming for. I changed the magnenta background to light grey as the magnenta made it tougher to see the colors.

Darker than the golden/yellow below, more of an orangish color; making this darker to try to get a bronze look comes out looking more like an tan Abe Lincoln that hits the surf everyday on the beach, but I can post a preview if you want something of that sort.

Golden/Yellow colored; making this slightly darker may bring a more golden looking color.

The city terrain is from various sources that are already available. The bulk of the city terrain is by Yoda Power; the trees are from MEMII and the roads were made by Vuldacon for the EFZI2 scenario (I've recoloured them slightly). I am using the terrain including the BMW in my super-hero scenario which I've been tinkering with of late.

You were right that it's not a lot of pixels to work with.From our private dialog:Could recolor Lincoln's suit as well. Maybe civ-color? Or make the whole thing Brassy - like the Tin Man in Oz. After looking at your previews maybe making the coat & hat civ color & all of the rest brass would give you more space to work on the color. The vest & legs would be all of a color with the hands & head. As if the Tin Brass Man found a top hat & dandy's coat to wear.

I was going partially off of the golden plot units, which seemed to be a brighter golden color. I have gotten some images from online such as this piece of Brass:

227599

I can use this color, and I will post another preview. Please note though, recoloring is usually made quick and easy due to being able to target the different colors of a unit and thus be able to quickly recolor a unit in pieces (the divide and conquer tactic :)). With Abe, recolouring his top hat and coat, but leaving the pants black is entirely possible, but takes a great amount of time (because initially the hat, coat and pants are all black which means the colors cannot be seperated via the palette: so to do this, the hat and coat portions would have to be copied out and recolored seperately, and pasted back in. The main time-consuming portion is accurately selecting the correct pixels of the coat and hat pieces, which would have to be done by hand. There are only 4 flc's so that is a low amount, and I could check it out, but I'll re-post a preview of a brass color along the lines of the above pic with head and hands... and see how that is first.

Great work on all the recolouring Tom! The BMW looks great. I'd love to use that somehow.

Since you seem to be taking requests a possible project would be, to recolour some of the units in Muffins' Ultramarines pack to make them civ coloured like his other 40K Spacemarine units he made.

I'm not sure if any work is still being done on the 40K mod (check with Virote Considine) but if no one has already recoloured some of these units then I'm sure they will be needed.

http://forums.civfanatics.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=72454&stc=1&thumb=1&d=1139090405

The units thread (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=103214)

The Marine Captain and the Assault Marine would be first candidates. The other three units were made in Civ colour by Muffins. Personally I'd like to see the Missile Marine recoloured too as he has a different style of rocket launcher to the civ colour one Muffins did.

A further request would be to remove the Ultramarines 'U' symbol if it isn't too much trouble.

Of course if you have more important things to do Tom please ignore this request. I'd hate to see work on your fantastic HOMM3 Mod slow because you were inundated with recolouring requests.

tom, if that's all the work you want to do, I understand. It's certainly better than what we've got to work with now. If you're willing to take another pass, I'd say make the clothing & hair very close to the same color as the skin. Think of a clockwork man wearing metal clothes - with only a civ-colored vest to contrast. Brass, but as monochrome as the Tin Man (image1 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Wizard_of_Oz_70th_Anniversary_blu-ray_set.jpg), image2 (http://www.imdb.com/media/rm850496000/tt0032138), image3 (http://www.flickr.com/photos/tom-margie/3087835542/in/set-72157610749655997/))

The hair is going to be a problem.. the exact same colors used in parts of the hair are also used in the lightning bolt itself and in various pixels in the shows and belt.

Selecting by color selects every color in the image, no way around it.

The only way to do it would to be to manually use something like a Contiguous-only Magic Wand with a color tolerance just enough to grab only the hair; problem is this cannot be done on a whole storyboard (it could, but not automatically). Done manually would require the correct click using this Magic Wand on each frame to grab only the hair. Storyboards x Each direction x Frame Counts = a whole lot of clicks and time.

Clothes work fine though. This is one of the probs with recolors, many run into this problem.

You can see here what happens; the hair is yellow'ish so it stands out here... all other yellow pixels were the same color as the original black hair color. Hair almost has to stay black. White hair may look fine for lightning bolt, but would show on shoes and belt.

Good enough for me. I don't mind the yellow around the lightning bolt at all, in fact I think it looks rather good. I'd rather not have the yellow on the shoes, belt etc but I can certainly live with it!

EDIT: Any chance you could do another version changing the yellow clothes to black and leaving the hair black.

These units are for my hero RPG game. I'm trying to incorporate as many different graphics as possible and trying to have female and male versions of different classes where possible. Eg Male Elf Mage and Female Elf Mage. The green with blond hair will be the female Woodelf mage and if you are kind enough to do a black version then that will be the female Dark Elf mage.

What program are you using for the color changing? If you're using Paint Shop Pro or Photoshop, you could possibly use layers to change only the hair of the elf chick... I.e. use the indexed file to come up with green suit with brown hair and green suit with blonde hair... Then just put the brown hair (and everything else) in a layer over top the blonde one, then erase the area around the head so that the blonde hair shows through...

Then all you need to do is re-load your pallette (indexed mode) and you're good to go (i've done similar with some of my C&P units and Munits)

Nice job on the Phoenix tom! The color scheme you choose reminds me very much of an old Japanimation cartoon I used to watch as a kid..."Force Five" is what it was called in the States, or something like that.

He could be from Orion. Orion slave girls don't grow on trees, y'know.

I was using that one, but some made comments that it was a bit confusing knowing what that unit was working because it doesn't have all the worker animations.

It probably looks more like the Hulks little-worker helper than an orc, but will have to do until I can get something more ogre-ish.

I mean (no offense to Tom, you're doing a great job mate), he looks like an african worker who's taken a mud bath :)
