Hi,
Inspired by the work of Che Palle and Mizaq as well as others, I decided to make my own series of wonder splashes for the standard wonders of the game.

Here are several examples:


Ironworks.gif


Lighthouse.gif


and here is the zip:

Harlan's Wonder Splashes

Bonus points to anyone who can figure out where I got the Iron Works graphic from.

I will soon follow this with wonder splashes of wonders not used in the game.
 
Finally, here are some splashes for wonders not in the standard game. I believe there are 76 different ones. I hope this helps people in making their mods. A few of the images are from the Double Your Pleasure mod.

Here are a couple of examples:

Cristo Redentor Statue:

The Temple of Luxor:

And here are the zips:

New Wonder Splashes 1

New Wonder Splashes 2

New Wonder Splashes 3

New Wonder Splashes 4

They're all in .jpg format, saved at the highest setting. So they need to be converted to .pcx before they can be used in the game.

Any important wonders I missed?
 
I now have a part 2 of sorts to this mod. Additional images of all the wonders for the civilopedia, not just the wonder splash.

For instance, with the Forbidden City:

forbiddencity2.jpg


The large one is the wonder splash, the second largest is for the Forbidden City civilopedia entry, and the smallest one is for the civilopedia index.

Unload the contents of the below zip file into the Civ3/Art/Civilopedia/Icons/Buildings/ folder for them to display correctly.

To complete this mod, I want to root out other places where the old wonder art shows itself. I can't find where the graphics for the production queue in the city screen are kept - does anyone know?

Here's the zip:

Hey, WAY too easy... just one question - What happened to the pig?

It's good to see another Floyd fan out there.
 
Yep, you're correct. I hope you didn't look at the answer on the duplicate thread at Apolyton! ;) Don't know if it was way too easy - you're the 200 somethingth person to look at this thread, and the first one to get it!

Most factories lack flying pigs, you know... thought it would look better without... :)

Oh well, there's no accounting for good taste...

Yeah, you’re probably right! :lol:

Hey BTW, these Wonder Splashes are brilliant! Thank you for the effort. The only thing I would change is the background colour of the text box – Maybe make it a solid colour so that you don’t have the picture interfering with the text… It is sometimes hard to read.
 
I have a new version of wonder images for wonders not already in the game. Here is a page of thumbnails of all of the images from the files.

Note that a few were taken from the Double Your Pleasure mod, but otherwise all the others originate here. A few are different pictures of the same thing. This mod includes all the files you need - wonder splashes and two civilopedia files. The mod is quite large, over 10 MB. It is broken into four parts to make downloading easier.

Harlan's New Wonders Part 2

Harlan's New Wonders Part 4
 
How do you specify which wonder splah screen goes to which ingame wonder? I know that the game will crash if a wonder does not have a splash, so how do I assign a certain splash to a wonder? The splashes are great, once I learn how to use them.
 
I've heard the wonder splash links aren't working correctly, so I'm going to try again. Oops - that didn't work too well - I attached a file, how come it didn't show up? I don't understand why this isn't working. Has anyone been able to download the recent versions of the wonder splashes?
 
You asked about the images in the city screen and whatnot. Look in the buildings-large.pcx and buildings-small.pcx. That controls the icons in the build queue, etc.

Otherwise, nice work. I must ask if I may place some of the wondersplashes on my website? (I already have all of Kal-els's from the 2XPleasure mod)

Oh, I'm drooling over the quality of those pictures! 10MB or 100MB I'M GETTING THEM ALL - keep them coming!!!!
