CtP/CtP2 Sprites for Civ3??

[Colonel Kraken]

I havent' every really seen anyone reference this, but I was wondering if anyone knew if it would be possible to use the CtP series sprites in Civ3 (with a little coversion).

If so, a LOT of unit requests could easily be fulfilled. The CtP series has some beautiful units: Slave trader, missionary, Lawyer, Ship-of-the-Line, an awesome European style Ironclad, and TONS of wonderful user-made units in the CtP forums like a medieval cannon and many other great units.

Just a thought.

Thanks.

I just hope that there's not so much animosity toward CtP that few people can see the good in it.

Anyway, has this already been considered?
If not, is it remotely possible?

And where are all those great artists from the CtP side? So many great units were made, it's amazing.


Thanks.

I think the main problem is that though there is a program available to take images and compile a CTP sprite (animation), no one ever figured out how to take a CTP sprite and extract the individual images. And Activision did not make one available (I believe Activision supplied the sprite maker program, if I'm not mistaken). If someone could create such a program we'd have a slew of cool units to play with.

Oh, that's right. I remember Activision made a program for people to create sprites. But the problem is there is no program to de-construct the sprite? Bummer.
