[BNW] Change of some text and images

There are 2 mods which I want to change a bit.
1. The images and text for a civilization
2. The images of units in the display. Not the the units themselves.

Do I need several programs for this?

 

It did depends on the text file, but you should be able to use Notepad or a similar program.

 

For the text, you'll need a plain text editor - something like Notepad or Notepad++
For the images (assuming you mean the icons that are displayed in the UI and not the animated models), you'll need a graphics program that can create the DDS format or a converter from a more common format (such as jpeg/png) to DDS

 

Thanks.
I think it's not so easy with Gimp, but I'll try.

 

There's a DDS plug-in for GIMP. I used it all the time without any troubles on my old Win8 computer. I just updated to Win10 with a new computer but I haven't downloaded GIMP as yet to see if there's an issue with using GIMP on Win10.

 

I’ve been using the plugin from https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/tutorial-how-to-add-civ-icons-with-gimp-2.463116/ without issue on Windows 10. It should be working fine.

 

An other graphics program that load and save .dds : paint.net
Very light, very simple to handle and free, with tons of tutorials and plugins
