Felt like we need a thread for sharing random thoughts, discussions not evolved enough to require a dedicated thread, relevant updates on other off-forum aspects of our doings, etc.

first off - despite rumors to the contrary - Blizzard's EULA, ToS etc. allow fan use of their content up to & including "total conversion" (their wording) of their games - as long as proper credit is given. There are tools such as WMV (WoW Model Viewer) for extracting models. In the Steam...

In November of 2015 sent him a PM. No reply ... Just got this message tonight: Just thought those of you who remember him and modded with him might like to know.

Working with PCX Palettes in GIMP GIMP can be confusing about how to work with indexed colors as needed for C3 pcx files. Terminology is not necessarily consistent. Different parts of the process are in completely different menus. Here are some general explanations. There's a summary of the...

The search system bites (imho). After a frustrating half hour trying to use it I can't even find most of what I myself wrote about map design. When I do stumble across a post where I link to that content the linking bbcode was broken in the process of transferring to this newer site set-up...

Getting back into C3 creative work after a long hiatus ... In spare moments I did find time to sketch out a few maps for conversion into biqs using Quintillus' cross-platform editor. I have no specific scenario plans for this Dreamlands map. It was fun & fairly simple to do in spare moments...

Lately I've been having problems with previews taking several minutes to load - if at all - when they are being linked from photobucket. I found this is the unifying detail by quoting & looking at the urls in the "img" code. Is anyone else experiencing similar issues?

One way to develop plausible civs for a unified set of scenarios is to start with the AH (alternate history) backstory. What fulcrum event sent history in a different direction – eventually causing a steampunk industrial revolution? Working forward from that key event helps flesh out what...

Vaguely remember someone made V - as in V for Vendetta. Or is that just wishful thinking?

Doing some online research led to the discovery of a manuscript archived at U. Penn. with several interesting German combat engineering and weapons designs, including an early mobile rocket platform for use as siege artillery barrages. Since Wyrmshadow is no longer taken requests I'm posting...

Many of you know me from the C3 C&C forum. I am also an educator, semiotician, and now beginning a new academic life as an anthropologist. I am in the early stages of research on curricula appropriate to the 21st century. The overall project is about communities of people who create worlds...

EDIT: Not so much a request thread as it is a plea for help finding units already made. One of the problems with creating an alternate history scenario is finding existing units without knowing the names. For example: Where do you look to find an early gunpowder era unit for an African empire...

Early in map-making I like to make a scaled-down image of the total map as an aid. The minimap just doesn't show enough detail. For the sake of those who might like a peek behind the curtain thought I'd share these along with a few notes ... The maps are based on topographics of Mars - with...

Christmas Trees for your special winter scenarios. V. 1.0 has Snowy Trees only. The files include a Tundra Forests pcx that matches well with Ares' Tundra, Plains & Grassland Forests pcxs that go with Balthasar’s winter terrain and an LM Forest file. The graphics are the same in all...

Did you know a policy has been in place since August that restricts your ability to control how your work is used? Did you know that all this was discussed beginning last January without an announcement being made here in C3 C&C? Did you know that you may end up with no ability to grant or...

Work by the masters continues to be released at a steady pace that reveals the loving detail they put into every creation. A couple of new artists join the ranks who already show a high degee of skill and the same devotion to their art. Fantastic and authentic units,unique terrains...
