View Full Version : GRAPHICS: Colored Population Heads
Tenaku Nov 03, 2001, 03:37 PM This mod adds a color outline to the population heads displayed in the city screen. Thought this might be useful, because it is hard to tell the different pictures apart with a glance, unlike CivII
green = happy
blue = content
yellow = unhappy
red = rebelling
enjoy,
Tenaku
Update!!:
I just found that the happy colorization doesn't work for captured citizens... the way that CivIII denotes a foreign pop is by doing a palette shift on the base green that every character is colored... so, if you capture units from blue civ, those units show up with a blue outline, even if they are happy, because all the green was shifted to blue. :(
so i need to find a different color besides green for happy citizens... any suggestions?
[mod removed due to problem]
Update 2:
Fixed the issue by changing the happy color to white. but... it seems i can't post the updated file to this message, so i'll put it further down in this thread... scroll down for the file.

Thunderfall Nov 03, 2001, 04:20 PM That's a really useful mod! :goodjob: I am going to post a news about it now.
Pggar Nov 03, 2001, 05:08 PM Is it me, or is everybody happy (green) on the picture attached?
LKendter Nov 03, 2001, 05:26 PM I see from left to right
green = happy
blue = content
yellow = unhappy
red = rebelling (none of this horrible color) ;)
Pggar Nov 03, 2001, 05:34 PM Dumb me, now i got it. However blue and green are looking alike.

Mack the Knife Nov 03, 2001, 09:51 PM hmmm, i'm not color blind but with your popHeads.pcx file in place my content guy was blue but my happy guy was red. i had a population of 2 blue/content. i linked dye by road and one guy turned red, not green. was it the dye!! :D
Tenaku Nov 04, 2001, 10:58 AM did you have the older version of the popheads mod? if so, a red country's citizen will show up with a red border if he/she is happy.. Sid & Co. do a palette shift of all the green (which each citizen's clothes are by default) to whatever country color you may have captured the city from... so, i changed the happy color from green to white, so that the palette shift effect wouldn't happen...
if you have the newer version, i'm a little confused :)
could you send me a screenshot?
Mack the Knife Nov 04, 2001, 05:18 PM hi Tenaku, i had whatever version was downloadable yesterday (11/3). i didn't play the previous civs and i'm trying to figure this one out so i decided to stay away from mods until i know what i'm doing. i went back to the installed .pcx file.
Plutarck Nov 06, 2001, 09:49 AM Another excellant little tweak of a mod that really makes the game better.
Don't you just love finishing a game and not getting paid for it? :D :D :D
CurtSibling Nov 08, 2001, 01:18 PM This is a MAJOR help, Morten.
I salute you!:goodjob:
JeffNebraska Nov 13, 2001, 09:16 AM This is a fantastic mod, especially on the domestic advisor screen!
One quick thing, I think you missed the content english/french woman. She seems to have no outline. But thanks for the outstanding and practicial work!
Tenaku Nov 13, 2001, 11:43 AM thanks for the tip... i'll take a look.
update:
you were right... sorry about that. the issue has been fixed and uploaded where the old one was... download 1.11 to fix the problem.
JeffNebraska Nov 14, 2001, 09:09 AM Tenaku you rock!
Sorry to mention one more small error in a piecemeal fashion, but there is also one resistor, I think it's the English, French female, who has a red line over her head.
Let me say again that this mod, along with the improved wonders picks, really makes the game easier to play!
Tenaku Nov 14, 2001, 10:52 AM actually, i am glad that you are pointing these things out to me. whatever helps me improve my mod. :)
my unhealthy fascination with the persian empire usually prevents me from seeing other population types :)
