GRAPHICS: Changed Era Splash Graphics

BeBro · Nov 16, 2001

I begun to change several Civ3 gfx, first I changed the splash screens that appear when your civ enters a new age, because I did not like it that all four pics show exactly the same background...

Below there is a previewpic.

Download the four altered screens here:

(a post later in this thread since the files are not accessible at the original location anymore. thx to pounder for reposting them

)

Installation

1 - BACKUP all four pics in the folder Civ3\Art\EraSplash

2 - Unzip the downloaded files into that folder...thats all

NOTE: I tested all pics except the newest (for the modern age) because I had no savegame available that was close enough to a change from the industrial to the modern age. I´ll test it and include the "modern" gfx as soon as I saw it in my current game...

I´ll also rework some other gfx in the future and post them here...opinions anyone?

Added a link to download the fourth (modern) screen to the post above...

Nice work BeBro. :cool:

I expect to see some more graphics mod from you in the future... Your graphics skill is pretty good.

Wow. That's awfully purdy.

Wish there were some way to have those kinds of sky in Civ 3.... maybe they'll have a fully 3D Civ 4 in future, eh? ;D

I really hope not.. 3D has ruined enough games

hey bebro, great job on the splashes. I have a favor to ask of you though....Can you make star wars ones for my mod? You will recieve credit for it in the credits, if you can do this thanks

BeBro · Feb 23, 2002

Hi tpasmall, have you special pics in mind which I should turn into some era gfx? Can you attach them here, or can I download them somewhere? Or should I simply take some starwars pic I like? From Episode One, or from the other movies?

Four such new era pics should be no problem...

tpasmall · Feb 23, 2002

sweet, i know of some good pictures, though i cant remember where i found them, when i do, though, ill post them up

tpasmall · Feb 23, 2002

Ok i got both planet pictures and city pictures. I dont know which of the two will look better compiled, so that choice is up to you

Here are the city pictures.

tpasmall · Feb 23, 2002

and here are the planet pictures

BeBro · Feb 23, 2002

Ah, there are two problems. The pictures are a bit small (have you bigger versios of them?). The normal size of the era pics in Civ3 is 680x480 pixels. I can resize smaller pics, however, if they too small, they will not look good after resizing...

Also, I have some trouble opening the *ace files (finally I was able to open them, but only after some tries).

However, I there are a lot of StarWars pics on the net, e.g here for all movies - http://theforce.net/multimedia/ - perhaps you could specify some of them, then I start working on it?

tpasmall · Feb 23, 2002

dont worry about it, i just figured out how to do them myself

BeBro · Aug 9, 2002

Oh, sorry for the dead links, now I edited the correct new link into the first post. Enjoy!

Very impressive addon there - something to d/l today and add this evening! I hope that we see a lot more of your work, as it is 24 carat.

Sunny · Aug 14, 2002

I downloaded the era splashes and installed them a couple of days ago ... and forgot about having done that, until yesterday when I played a game and reached a new era ..... WOW!!

The era screens are trully amazing!! NICE WORK!!! :goodjob:

GIDustin · Sep 2, 2002

Just getting around to all the mods and adding em to my website. I really like yours. Too bad I didnt find it earlier.

Anyway, I added it to my website with a preview that you may be able to use:
