Civ 2 C & C Mod

The Africa map looks very realistic, Wonx. Did you design it from scratch?
Click to expand...

It might look nice on the map i uploaded, id say in the real map you wouldn't want to use for your geography project :P. Its not entirely from scratch its based on a map i found on my computer (i have lots of civ 2 maps and stuff i got them years ago :P) but unfortunately i don't know who made the original so i cant give them credit, and its very highly modifed with europe and the middle east removed. Also a lot of the forest and jungel in africa removed (to reflect we cut it all down), and general terrain changes to make the map i wanted. So its proberly not reconisable now.

I designed the citys from a map i found in google images, so they are also proberly abit wrong and the sizes totaly out of wack :P. My geography skills are pretty good but africa is my week point.
 
I'm making good progress with the Africa map, although Ive not got around to trying to redo the teck tree yet. Its a bit scary, is it even possible to make 3 separate teck trees. If anyone could help that would be handy :).

Otherwise does anyone know any good modern african city graphics i can use?

Also anyone know a good M1 Abrams and M2 Brady graphics, i could use for my NOD light tank and GDI Medium tank? Id need to be able to edit them with out the original author objecting. The NOD one would be grays and reds and the GDI sand and yellow. like the current ones id just like nicer looking ones :P.

Thanks for any help people can offer it will speed me up :king:.

Ive also given some thought to the future of this mod what I've got planed for the near future :). Im going on holiday to Denmark in October to visit my Girl friend. So i wont be doing much work on it from October till mid January. So ive come up with a kind of plan of what id like to get done before then and that will be it for the near future :). Whether or not ill manage it is another matter :P we shall see :) I've got a fair few other things to do before then.

All of these will include improvements and fixing problems :).

0.5 Africa map I've been talking about :).
0.6 A new map based on the NOD invasion of Madagascar where the plan is for a few new units. They will not appear again until 0.10 (v1.0)
0.7 Europe map based on the original game the GDI will be on the offencive to drive NOD out of eastern Europe.
0.8 A map based on a hypothetical Turkish civil war with a pro nod uprising and GDI backed government this would feature new GDI units.
0.9 a world map based on maps of the world from the original game.
0.10 A pacific map nod taking over using its bases in china and Russia to take over Korea, Japan, Philippines, Malaysia and Singapore. GDI on the other hand will have to defend these and take over maybe Thailand Indonesia Hong Kong and Indian. Although this idea is new so i may change it a bit :P.

let us know what you think and if anyone would like to help out that would be handy :P
 
For anyone who doesn't read the first post Ive finished version 0.5.

It contains the New Africa map and a few minor fixes. Tell me what you think and anyway i can improve :) ill begin work on 0.6 soon :).

Yes, I have seen the problem of title.gif and/or opening txt file with MGE. I know that older civ2 versions often show buttons when the opening file comes up. I assume that certain color conflicts in the MGE palette may have something to do with title.gifs not showing up or there may have been a change in the size limit for the title graphic. It's weird...I've seen a 640x480 title show up perfect, then a really colorful 320x240 pic stalls the game. I've also seen the reverse. It's a strange bug that I only see on rare occasion but I have seen it so it's not a ghost (or maybe it is). :confused:

by the way Wonx, nice work...this is becoming a really popular thread...

Cheers!

Im making some progress on 0.6 mostly on my Madagascar map. The map its self is done (Although not that accurate its really hard to find good maps of the island and Google earth dosnt really help :P) Ill start making the scenario based on it soon :). Ive started and have some ideas but it dosnt look like much yet :P.

Not much other news to report. Haven't got much done since my last release so nothing much is changed.

Thanks for your support though it inspires me to keep going. :king:
 
Hey everyone :).

I'm making progress on version 0.6 very slowly :P. Ive almost finished the map and made some improvements to the unit graphics :). Besides that nothing else has changed yet.

So for anyone who wants things changed please let me know :).
 
Here's a sneak peak at the new NOD units for my 0.6 Madagascar map.

Let us know what you think :).


 
Hey man!

Looks good! By the way...have you thought about changing some of the terrain resource pictures to have military items, like for instance supply drops or additional buildings? That would be cool...

Maybe instead of irrigation...you could have little flags or a truck that sits there-- I don't know...something like that... It would give the illusion of more military stuff happening...

Cheers!

No id not though about that one but i will now thanks :). It hadn't crossed my mind.

Ill think about that and may work on it, got any other ideas as to what i could actually do to change the terrain? Ill look at it and think about it and see if anything comes to me :).
 
Hey Wonx....

I was thinking...you might want to take a few screenshots of the actual C&C games and just study them to get some ideas...this might help generate some more good stuff like your ideas about the blue and green tiberian.

Just a thought that might help...

I look forward to your next release...

Ive got where i am now Googling screen shots (cant seem to take them in the game its self they come out mostly black and inverted). I need an idea of what to replace the temples, Colosseum and cathedral's with but i haven't come up with one :P anyone got any ideas?

Besides that ill work to get it all finished asap. Ive not done much the last few days as ive been playing Earth 2150, finaly finished all 3 campaigns :P.

Ill get back to work today or tomorrow and try 2 finish 0.6 but i am at a bit of a lose with new ideas.
 
I'm pleased to announce 0.6 is finished and released :).

C&C Civ2 v0.6

This version adds the new map Madagascar to the MOD. There is a few other minor changes including fixing up some of the graphic problems and improving the terrain. I have also changed some of the buildings and there graphics and introduced 3 new units to NOD. The new units are Cyborg (new infantry) Harpy and Banshee (new aircraft). These units are taken straight from Tiberian sun and you’re welcome to use them if you would like. They are only slightly modified by me.

Although the new NOD units are only available in Madagascar. You’re welcome to add them to any of the other scenarios if you would like.

Due to the size of having 3 different sound folders I’ve not included the Uprising and Africa maps sound files use the same ones from 0.5 they haven’t changedJ.

To install: Place it into your Civ II to folder and copy the sound effects from 0.5 to the Africa and Uprising (it’s the main folder) so you have sound. Madagascar has its own sound and is in this download. If you don’t have 0.5 you can download it from http://wonx2150.dragonhost.net.au/Civ Creations/

If there’s any problems or you need help let me know.
 
Hey people :)

Sorry that i haven't said anything in ages. Ive been kinda busy and I'm not out of it yet :P Been working hard on collage related work and other things and unfortunately my Civ 2 work has been put on hold as a result :).

I don't know if ill get anything else finished before i go on holiday. If anyone wants to take any of my work and expand on it and improve it feel free :) just post a link here if you release it to the world. No need to contact me about it :).
