[C3C] Civ3 Wonder Tennis Court and Tournaments Graphics Creation Guide

[rukasujjk]

Hello everyone who enjoys Civ 3! I'm a big fan of tennis and I'm working on a mod idea for Civilization 3. I'm trying to figure out how to create custom graphics for some new tennis-related wonders. Specifically, I'm looking to add:

• A Tennis Court Wonder: This would be a building graphic that appears in the city when constructed.
• A Tennis Tournament Wonder: This could be more abstract, perhaps a stadium or a trophy graphic.

I'm relatively new to Civ3 graphics modding and I'm not sure where to start. I have a few questions:

1. What software is generally used to create the graphic files for Civ3 wonders? (e.g., Photoshop, GIMP, etc.)
2. Are there any specific tutorials or guides on CivFanatics (or elsewhere) that cover creating custom wonder graphics from scratch?
3. What are the main considerations for dimensions, color palettes, and transparency when making these graphics?
4. How do you associate the new graphic file with the wonder in the Civ3 editor (e.g., in editor.exe or a specific file)?
5. Are there any existing mods or graphic packs I could use as examples for similar custom buildings/wonders?

Any advice, tips, or links to resources would be greatly appreciated! I'm eager to learn and get these tennis wonders into my game.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Sincerely,

[Rukasujjk]

You can use Any Graphics Editor you understand and like.

The best way is to look at the specifics from the original Game Graphics.
