There is an excellent tutorial thread by Vuldacon that covers unit palettes. your answer is quite likely in that thread.

@Ozymandias : As the commissioner of the work, I'm glad it passes muster. As i posted any refinements you wish to see I'm happy to do as I am able. Perhaps at that level of detail any back and forth needed is better handled via private communication. Lacking a current installation, the one...

Current attempt at a title screen. You can see that I've changed the composition a bit and added a bit of starfield to relieve the monotonous black background. @Ozymandias if you prefer I go back to the original composition, that's fine. It's been so long since I did pixel by pixel work I forgot...

The akshauhini is only one amongst many battle formations used in Ancient India. In a full army of ancient India there would likely have been some regiments ( to use a modern analogy) organized as akshauhini, some as infantry, cavalry, or other types. The best modern comparison might be to a...

Still looking for a good overall geophysical map of Eemian world to work from. Meanwhile found some interesting interesting items: Seems it's not enough to take a modern map and adjust for higher sea levels that would've existed at height of Eemian interglacial. There's the consideration of the...

There's a reason I specifically said in the tutorial to make sure to change the number of colors to 256. And why I pointed out several ways to ensure that the two transparency colors are included in the colormap. Might have something to do with my prior experience on multiple projects - been...

THANKS @Ozymandias . Your project, your choice. Glad you chose that one in a way. Will be easiest image to track down again. I know where I go to regularly whenever I need maps of early epochs.

There's a link in my signature to a tutorial I wrote on how I use GIMP to make pcx. One key difference between GIMP and Photoshop is that the Color Maps look reversed - the transparency colors (green & magenta) go at the opposite end of the GIMP Color Map from where they are in Photoshop...

@Ozymandias We've talked a few times privately - latest time being today - about me getting around to actually making some splashes for the mod. Even though i lost all the art files, if you can let me know which one(s) in the thread you want me to do, I can probably track down the sources...

Just to give you an idea of the extent of the loss. We were working together on a scenario which would have been a mashup of sources including ERB's Barsoom and Space: 1889. Units had been made for us by several people. Tech lines were partially in place. Title and era splashes were in progress...

A bit of a rude way to put it, even though there are some elements of truth in it. You are trying to unify WIPs from a long-term project which includes things which were posted primarily for internal use, previews of elements at a beta stage, and two completely different playable scenarios - one...

As a long time member of a subforum ( Civ 3 C & C) with many regular contributors who have reached a phase of life where such things get serious consideration - and being of that ilk myself - this is what I would suggest as far as public acknowledgements and changes to accounts::: - 1) provide...

I'm mostly silent these days, but I do still check the forum from time to time. And there are a couple of people I have contact with beyond CFC. It's sad to get a notification of this kind of post, even if I'm grateful for the info. Gojira is one of the people who was very encouraging of my...

Thanks Civinator. I was so disheartened by losing all my Civ3 work in the drive crash that I hadn't even checked the db.

I made some era pcx for the mod. I don't know if they are included in the package or available in the DB. If not, I give my permission for whoever has them to re-upload them to the db here.
