Wow - great effect

GarretSidzaka · Mar 30, 2007

im glad you like it. the damn texture file is 256X512! the thing is huge and has all the buildings on one map! i started to get creative with GIMP

Impressive for a late era cityset Garret. Any ideas on some early moon settlements?

GarretSidzaka · Mar 30, 2007

well, the buildings are scaled in number, the city i show is 64 pop. a small, early city would have less buildings.

hey woodelf, it would be possible to create another building set fairly easily, even with the nifviewer.

Waow !!!
Great reskin !!! that is exactly what we need !!!

if i understand well, your cities/town/village/cottage looks like the screenshot ? or just if i install the "eu_mod_building.dds"?
I want your cities texture, but i want the texture for cities/town/village/cottage doesn't change...
I will test it.

Thanks for great work !!!

Great work. :goodjob:

They could also be uesd in the modern area.

@Dubmetender: Towns, villages, hamlets using the same nif and dds as the cities. Changing this means a lot of xml work.

Dubmetender · Mar 30, 2007

Thanks Chamaedrys,

i have already modified the mod_eu.nif, and "plotSystem" file, but i wanted use my towns/villages/hamlets nif, and use this great skin for cities in the same era...
I will search...

there is a separate texture and .nif file for the towns/ect. i would have to make another reskin.

what was so cool about making this one was my goal to make the buildings NOT look like concrete anymore. so i reversed alot of the colors and highlighted the windows more, changing contrasts alot too. It came out high-contrast dark with window highlights.

You can do this simply by creating a new folder somewhere in your mod, loading this new cityset in it (.nif and .dds files) and changing the path in the .nif file in your CIV4CityLSystem.xml file.

I forgot to say:

I love that hightech underground. It looks like a city under the city.

@Dubmetender:

Did it work?

GarretSidzaka · Mar 31, 2007

Just need to rename a file, as the mod_eu.nif is used for cities and hamlets/villages/..., and i will post a screen...

Your work is great, GarretSidzaka :goodjob:

Dubmetender · Apr 2, 2007

this is a screenshot (if that work :mad:

)

I need to work on shadows, but i've got a trouble between shadow'texture and buildings'textures... the two ones are loaded as building'texture, sometime improvements are black (shadows), sometime improvements (in majority of cases) are grey (right texture), so i remove building'shadows :mad:

GeoModder · Apr 2, 2007

Can you post pictures of your problem? I had mixed up textures too when I tried to put buildings from different citysets in the the same city on the map.
I eventually solved it by tinkering with the szBatchGroup parameter.

GarretSidzaka · Apr 2, 2007

its because the .nif file must reference all of the darn buildings to one big ass 256X512 texture file. I bet if you manually reprogrammed each building in the .nifviewer to reference the correct texture, you would be okay.

I made that, each "node" with right texture, like in original file, but when i load the game, i have some improvements with right texture, and some improvements with wrong texture (shadow'texture).
First time, i used 5 differents textures, and the game load five differents textures for improvements !!! :eek:

but without shadow, the screen is OK, not perfect, but playable...

why dont the shadows work?
