Superb!

 

[georgestow]

Excellent!
Can't wait for the others.

I'm working on the The Mycenaean Chariot now from the files I received from Yang Liu and once finished will send them back so they can be posted. I will make the Blue Portions of this Civ Colored, since that seems to fit better than the yellow portions.

BTW, that's an awesome .gif you made up there!

EDIT: I'll be done very soon, the Blue Colored portions look terrific when Civ Colored, so that's how they will be done.

excellent

 

[tom2050]

Everything is ready to go... one thing I encountered was during the Chariot's moving in the East direction, and only for the East direction, the spot where the Chariot is doesn't quite match up with the Default East animation, and a small jump occurs... but every other animation fits perfectly. All the animation's offsets are set the same.

I have no idea how such a thing could have occurred, but it seems that the Default East animation just needs to be moved over several pixels, I'll do that now, re-test in game, and then I'll send it over to Yang Liu (in 10 mins or so).

It looks tremendous in game, a very good-looking unit!

EDIT: Unit has been sent to you H.Balck (from another email address, I was having problems sending with the previous I gave you).

Good job, Sir Yang! I must say, you've redeemed yourself.
Glad to see you in action, as a CivIII unit artist. The Mycenean Chariot is very good... as a model, and as an animated unit.

 

[Ozymandias]

Very nice. Just a quick Q: Why Rapidfire and not the CFC units db?

Best,

Oz

 

[Madeira]

Awesome! Keep them comming

 

[imperator1961]

Excellent unit Yang! I like it very much. I like the walk animation of horses. Can you send me this animation? Thanks.

 

[Yang Liu]

Hallo
Thanks all for the good critics. Next unit - the egypt chariot - comes on next weekend.

I like the walk animation of horses. Can you send me this animation?

No problem imperator - but I think you can not use my animations for your horse system !

[The Guardian]

Nice unit guys! Are you going to make more of these. Ones with archers would be nice! Can wait replace the old ones with these.

 

[96nn]

Very good work!

Yang Liu, may you make a Chinese 4-horse Chariot?

 

[Ares de Borg]

Very good work there! One thing I'd like to request: Can you add civpedia pics with the standard neutral white background? They would fit better into the game.

Thank you guys.

Thank you guys.

I need that too!

 

[Partizanac]

excellent! how about giving the chariot a more "urban" background on the "presenting image"

I for one could really use that

 

[tom2050]

I may be able to make the background white from the image with the background image, although it wouldn't be as crisp and clear (due to the way an RGB blends the colors) as doing so with an image that has just the Magnenta background. If Yang Liu has a larger BMP of the chariot with a Magnenta Background, making the PCX is much easier.

I'll check the Storyboard pics, as they may be big enough to avoid having the image end up looking pixelated.

EDIT: These were the best I could get using the images from the Storyboard.

If Yang Liu has a better image to use to make a White BG PCX, then I will delete these here.

Hi Partizanac
I hope this urban representation (Mycenae Lion Gate) please you better !

Tom2050: I will upload media pics with white background tommorow.

[Mithadan]

Wow! I love, love, love chariots. Must be because of Sunday School, I dunno. Anyway, I didn't think I'd see any sweet items like this since BeBro made his. This is great, because know the Mycenean chariot actually looks Mycenean!

 

[Yang Liu]
