Dragonia II Mod

Does this help?

winddelay has volunteered to help as well.

I have decided to use a similar pattern for the drow city graphics.

Are you getting citysets from the database? I think there are several already finished. And if you need more let me know which.

 

[Darque]

Welcome, winddelay

I created my drow city art using the southeast asia cityset as a base and reskinned it. The human civs will use various citysets from the database. I'll use the orc city set from the database as well.

Still needed is a good elf city set and a dwarf city set.

 

[woodelf]

I think hrochland did a dwarf set with GeoModder's help. I think.

Elf city art is a pain trying to incorporate trees and such. If you use trees as half of the base models it might not be too bad. Let me look at what I have laying around.

 

[Darque]

I see hrochland created a dwarven hall, forge, and store; but no Dwarven citysets. He did create a hobbit cityset though...

 

[woodelf]

I thought someone put together a cityset for him. If I borrow his models and make 1 dds it's doable.

 

[Darque]

you mean if you have 1 nif? Multiple dds files for a single city are fine with me...

 

[woodelf]

You need 1 512x512 dds for all nifs. You can have 1 to a million nifs per cityset so long as they use the same dds as a texture. 256x256 isn't good enough from my experience and 1024x1024 might be overkill. We've used 512 for SMAC and also SotM so far.

It sounds much worse than it is with some experience.

 

[Darque]

hmm... I didn't know that. Then I guess 1 dds it is.

I have taken a screenshot of my reskinned Drow City:

Spoiler :

 

[woodelf]

That looks super.

How's this for a Crypt of Souls:

 

[Darque]

Looks great. Add a couple of skulls randomly around in the graveyard for the final product.

 

[woodelf]

Dark black stone texture or something else in mind?

 

[Darque]

A dark grey should be fine.

 

[Darque]

I would like to officially welcome Oaklanbash to the Dragonia II modding team as a coder.

 

[woodelf]

Speaking of coding...are you starting from scratch or using FfH2's base once Kael converts to BtS?

 

[Darque]

I'll leave that for Oaklanbash to decide...but I feel it would be a good idea to start with Kael's code with the spell system and go on from there.

 

[woodelf]

I would highly suggest doing just that.

Here's a quick render of the Bastion of Faith:

The Iron Sanctum in untextured form: As a thumb since uploading seems to be buggered at the moment.

The Spider Queen Lair with winddelay's texture:

The new models look good, woodelf
Great job on the texture, winddelay!
