I'll be converting here some fantasy buildings from Heroes of Might and Magic 3. They are mainly for Drift's Master of Myrror-mod, but can be used by anyone, of course ;) Hope you like them.

Pay attention to the shadows :smug:

Here is the first Preview:

The files of the first pack:

Good job! The portal could probably be used for teleport. Any ideas for the others?

Nice ones. :goodjob:



I think I have seen the two lower ones in I've Got Explosives 2...:hmm:

Thank you. :thumbsup:

The portal could probably be used for teleport.
How do you do that?

Go to utilities forum, and look for the "hacked editor" for conquests 1.22, there you get the option for teleporting units, and telepad buildings

Behold! More is coming!

And of course the files:

@Drift, embryo, Tjedge or somebody else with a fantasy mod in construction: If you need any buildings just PM me and I'll see what I can do. I have tons of graphics in HOMM, you know ;)

Oh Sweet Man! I bet Alot of these will go into MoM.

Some very good buildings here. I'm going to use the portal to replace the Airport myself. So any unit cna just "airlift" through it to another portal.

Kinda makes you wonder what we were planning when we added those flags...

Thanks! Do you happen to need any specific buildings to your mod?

Expect some evil buildings later today :evil:

What flags? Airlift?

Here are the evil ones I promised:

And you can download them right here:

Very cool. I have tons of small wonders, so anything you can provide I can most likely use in my mod. Got to add you to my credits now.

Yeah. More medieval buildings. :goodjob: Thanks.

Keep them coming.

These will add a lot of flavor to the game. I'm really happy about the old tree. I've been looking for a graphic for my Nature Preserve/National Forest improvement.

What flags? Airlift?

No, the hidden flags that you have to use a hacked to get to.

The teleport and charm flags.

A few more. Three of them was done earlier for the MoM graphics patch, but there is one new too.

Download the files here:

Very nice :goodjob: . A lot of these will also fit into non-fantasy scenarios as well :) .

Very cool. I'll be using these.

The new pack is here:

@Tjedge: Please post here or PM me a list of 6-8 most important graphics you need for your mod. I don't think I make much more. At least for now. So please post a list with little descriptions so it is easier for me to decide ;)

I'll work on that when I have the time. There are some wonders I could use. In the meantime, I'm satisfied with downloading every cool building I see and possibly use it in the mod. For now, whatever you make will be fine. I'm trying to keep myself focused on units until they are added and then figure out the small wonders. I can use anything though for them as most will produce units.

I lost my HOMM 3 from my computer last weekend and can't find the CD... In adition I'm going to be in Estonia the next week and have no computer with me. So I will make next ones when I find the CD again. Sorry guys. :(

i like your wprk a lot, but can we have buildings from simcity?
:goodjob:

Maybe you should check the 2 collections in my signature ;)

yes, i but i mean some more buildings, i ask you because my simcity world edition doesn't work, XP...

Just PM me or post here if there is something special you would like to see.

well, i would like a kind of hospital but looking very high tech, this building will be alowed by my tech : DNA

is that possible?

Got a problem. No icon comes up when I select Crypt (the only one I'm using atm) on the list. Also, once the Building is completed, it isn't shown on the City View (I'm one of those People who looks at that alot). So, what have I missed out or done wrong, if anything? The Civilopedia icons are working btw.

Anarki, did you add it to the city view (btw that's only possible in vanilla and ptw, not in c3c mods.)? And did you add it to the buildings .pcx's?

How do you add it to the City View and what Buildings pcx's? (btw, I'm using PTW).

EDIT: I've added the files to C:\Program Files\Infogrames Interactive\Civilization III\CIV3PTW\Art\Civilopedia\Icons\Buildings and C:\Program Files\Infogrames Interactive\Civilization III\CIV3PTW\Art\City View\Buildings

Anything I could have done wrong?

How do you add it to the City ViewI don't know.
what Buildings pcx's? (btw, I'm using PTW).Art/City Screen/buildings-large.pcx and buildings-small.pcx
Add them to your scenario's folder, don't mod the original game.
Anything I could have done wrong?Lots. ;)

The way to get the icons to appear in the city screen is as follows:

In the directory CivIII\....\Scenarios\Your_Scenario\Art\City Screen\ are two files: buildings_large.pcs and buildings_small.pcx.

1. You must add the corresponding small icons to these files.

2. Take note of what building's Icon is above where you put the new icon, and open the Civilopedia.txt file located in the ......\Your_Scenario\Text\ directory.

3. Search for the building whose Icon is in the row above your new building. When you find the entry, it should read something like this:

{Example:}
#ICON_BLDG_Temple
Culture
8
\art\civilopedia\icons\buildings\templenalarge.pcx

the number on the third line is the row number for the Buildings_large and Buildings_small.pcx files.

4. Increment this number by 1 (since your building's icon is on the row immediatley under this building), and when you add your own pediaicons entry, use that number for the row:

{Example:}
#ICON_BLDG_Crypt
Single
9
\art\civilopedia\icons\buildings\cryptlarge.pcx
\art\civilopedia\icons\buildings\cryptsmall.pcx

If you follow all 4 steps, it should work properly.

is that possible?

I don't think I can go any more modern than the Civ 3 modern hospital... Anything else?

Hey man, your buildings are awesome, seamless in the game thanks for the hard work.
As a general request-could you convert some more asian and/or native american looking buildings. I'm trying to flavor all of the city buildings in my mod and I've already used all of those in this forum and have had to resort to cut and pasting my own for some.
Anyway, anything you put out will be useful and thanks again for the hard work!

These are the ones I could use:

BTW, if you could find something for Elven Council, I'd appreciate it. :)

I'll see what I can do...

@Drift

Sorry, couldn't find a good elven council... But do you see something you would find useful in these two screenies? Maybe some from the pic1 up row for better obelisk and/or monolith? I've also tried to find something for the enchant waters but haven't found.

Hey... arnt thoses from heros of might and magic?

HA! sorry, lol you said that lol.... my bad

@Drift

You didn't ask me, but I could use almost all of those from the first pic. :scan:

@Lusikka755

Sorry about not replying faster. A number of those seem very interesting, but I'm not sure yet whether I need them. At the moment I can't really answer the question. The obelisk in the picture isn't that much better than the existing one so you don't have to do that one for me.

I saved the pictures on my hd so I can check them again when I start having ideas for buildings.

This thread isn't my type, but it's very good.

And you dig up this thread to say that ?

Let me guess, you've discovered you must have 300 posts to have your own avatar.

Let me guess, you've discovered you must have 300 posts to have your own avatar.

No you don't. Read the new announcement :p

Oh yes. So we'll have less spammers.

Oooh, what would I do now, if I can't shout on them :p ;)

Mmh, as this thread is already dig up, let's say it. Good job Lusikka, I'll probably use some.

Thanks! I think I'll do more fantasy ones (for tjedge) when I can stop playing WH2... So you'll have to wait :lol:

No worries. I can wait as I'm still figuring out the small wonders. I have over 200 so far to put in the editor. Yes most are civ-specific so 1 civ could not build that many.

@Tjedge: SOON... :evil:

Good converting, shadows and everything. :goodjob:

@Tjedge: SOON... :evil:
:mischief:
Nice, I had forgotten about this thread till you revived it. Those look nice. I'll wait patiently.

Here it finally is!

You can see these buildings in the preview (see a few posts up). I'll just call them what they are called in HOMM, because I have no idea what you are going to call them or does anybody even use these :lol: .

The buildings are:
Labyrinth, Shrine of Magic, Orc Tower
War Machine Factory, Earth Elemental Conflux, Cyclops' Stockpile
Griffin Tower, Hill Fort, Barracks

They are especially made for tjedge, but anybady can use them of course. These will most propably be my last buildings. I will have a very busy year ahead of me, so I'm officillay retiring from the business now. :( Hope you have enjoyed my work!

Here are the files:

Great work Lusikka! They look awesome and a couple I really needed for sure. A shame you are retiring, I love your buildings. Not too many folks make fantasy buildings. Thanks again! :hatsoff:

Well, congratulations, Lusikka. You've made some great work. Knowing I'm the kind of person who loves fantasy stuff, I might eventually make some buildings for your mod, Tjedge, but only after I finish all the techs and cities I'm working on. Once again, I love all of your work, Lussika, and ALL of these will be used in one form of another in my mod, :goodjob:

Speaking of helping eachother out, odintheking, I am learning to make videos for Conquests. I've got footage for some kind of goofy Zelda cartoon and a song. If I can get them properly turned into a bik, I'll send them your way if for nothing else just kicks as the opening vid to the game. ;)

How do open a biq anyways?

A .biq or .bik?
A .biq, with the Conqusts Editor
A .bik, with a program called Bink & Smacker.
The .bik is the movie files.
