[Religion and Revolution]: Founding Fathers

@Isabelxxx:

I am going to implement the FFs Jakob Fugger and Charles Carroll.

Could you put buttons for these 2 into the atlas ?
I guess it is not much work for someone with your graphical skills. :thumbsup:
 
Of course.
I have been a bit busy and therefore I didn't create more FFs. I think today or tomorrow I finish the rest .
 
I have implemented Jakob Fugger and Charles Carroll.

@Isabelxxx:
Both look great. :goodjob:

@colonialfan:
Could you take care of the pedia entries ?
(They are already in the XML and just need to be filled.)

Before adding both buttons I have revised the previously created buttons.

This is the original (notice new buttons have no texture in BG and some are blurry):


With BG texture:

Sharper:


The good thing working with Photoshop is that editing files doesn't corrupt them. Note that every time you open a dds file and save it you are loosing quality, but since I just use the original resource as psd it does preserve the integrity of the file.
Believe me that this is important after 3 or 4 edits (images becomes blurry and appear pixelation in alpha channel which distorts the button)...
Just compare our FF buttons and the vanilla buttons, and see that details in some of vanilla buttons seems wrong. That's what happens when reusing the DDS.


@raystuttgart:
Please, could you (or anyone) make screen-shots of all the ffs created up to the date?

I would want to improve their color and luminosity so all FF match the same pattern. Also is the only way for me to know how they really look. I would want these FF to be perfect, and the result is far from that in my opinion.

Just take a look at http://forums.civfanatics.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=331271&d=1347802574 for ex. The last one is darker than the rest. Also I will place that image more near the top.

Uploaded the improved version of the last 2 FFs. Now they should be more aligned and the colour and luminosity similar to the rest.
 
Would it not be easier, if you check directly in the mod (current revision SVN) ?
Yes, but then you will have to wait a bit more. My GPU is still giving problems so the game will crash in seconds...

I cannot see any new upload to SVN
There was an error. You should see it now, along the atlas buttons.
 
@Isabelxxx:

The new versions of the FFs look great. :goodjob:

I have also added screenshots of all our existing FFs to SVN. :thumbsup:
 
Thanks ray. Here a preview of the next FF.
I used other image (instead of the one on this thread or the repository) because it just have more quality and the proportion was more natural.

This was the suggested image:


This the image I prefer:


And this after fixing some things on the painting: (but I think you will not see the diferences without zoom)

@raystuttgart

Ups, sorry. There was a confusion about what screenShoots I need.

I only need screenshoots of the FF tree, and only those which show our new FF. So if we only added one FF to that tree, just show me that part! (like this example)
That means you only had to do 3 or 4 images...

 
...just show me that part! (like this example)[/B]

Ok, I will. :thumbsup:

Holy fudge @ WInthrope.

Just wait for the "final" version. ;)
(This is far from being complete.)

My idea is simple:

The first FFs in each discipline give relatively weak bonusses. (Like a few units.)
The further you advance in each FF line, the better the bonusses will get.
 
@Isabelxxx:

I had checked yesterday the last FFs you created.
They are looking good. :goodjob:

Could you please put buttons for them into the atlas ?
 
Pedia entry for Charles Carroll and Jakob Fugger is all set.;)

Great. :thumbsup:

The next 3 are basically already done.
(I will upload them, once I could configure the right buttons.)
 
Already done, I will make more after this weekend. These days I will be pretty occupied.

Also please, make those 2-3 screen-shots I told you so I also improve anything at the same time. The images "DDS_ready_for_use" folder can be deleted without problems(I have copies anyway).
 
@team:

the next 3 Founding Fathres are uploaded to SVN. :)
(Valdivia, Serra, Wilson)

@colonialfan:

Could you please take care of colopedia again. :thumbsup:

@Isabelxxx:

I have attached the Screenshots you wanted to this post. :thumbsup:
