Fantasy civ: The Elves

[Janusi]

Well looks good so far. The only problem is that when I play as the undead, my flag becomes white as does the barbarian ones.

 

[Haarbal]

i've got that same problem here
maybe it comes forth of the alpha mask thingy or the colour
i'll see if i can get rid of it when i'm working on the flags

Haarbal - I can't wait to try this out when I get home from work. Argh, only about 7 hours and 20 minutes to go

I have had the same problem with flags with a scenario I was designing. I was able to fix it by adding an all black alpha channel and by then setting the "WhiteFlag=0" in the civilization infos xml "(or in the WBS file) to "WhiteFlag=1" for the cilizations with the affected flag. When I did that, it solved the blank flag/black flag problem and the new flag decals I created showed up properly, so that may be worth a shot if you want to try that.

Very cool. Good work!
Elves have always been my favourites and I loved all the fantasy mods in previous Civ games.

Like the way it looks..but are you sure your ok to use imagery directly ripped from another game?

The graphic artist who worked on AOW might be a little miffed

New file to download for more diplomacy text. Same deal as before about installing:

http://www.filegone.com/ut1c

Added text for:

Declaring war
Peace
Accepting offer
Friendly no deal
Furious no deal
Offer Peace
Thanks

Lots still to do, including:
Friendly offer deal
Furious offer deal
Friendly cancel deal
Furious cancel deal
Friendly reject
Furious reject

It's amazing how many choices there are that Firaxis simply chose the generic text for all of their LHs.

i'll put in some extra thanks in the credits for the artists
but i think, because this is for non-commercial use, it's ok to use pictures from games (not completely sure though). if the pictures are copyright protected for non-commercial use, so are the names and a lot of Civ III mods use the names (dungeons and dragons mystara, warhammer).

i figured out that because of the flags are not working correctly, i might use this to make them work
when i'm finished with my next butt-load of civs, i'll see if that works

That diplomacy text is very good, woodelf!!! It makes the mod so much better to play... Thanks!

 

[woodelf]

Thanks for the comments edu. Some of it may be hokey, but I tried to stay in character for the various leaders. More to come eventually.

Regarding the flags not showing, I think the dds files corresponding to each flag are not present in the assets\art\interface\TeamColor directory so they don't show. I've been looking everywhere and I can't find dwarfbutton.dds, elfbutton.dds, overlordbutton.dds, undeadbutton.dds and humanbutton.dds.

 

[edu2003mdq]

I found the dds files. So that was not the problem... sorry

 

[woodelf]

I think haarbal has solved most of the problem, but he may be waiting to finish the remaining civs before putting out another file.

 

[edu2003mdq]

Great to hear that!! Playing with these civs makes FfH much more fun.

 

[Haarbal]

yesterday my computer was in 'surgery' so i couldn't finish the civs, but i did finish all the .dds files.
i'll get right on the xml now
i think i'll be finished in about an hour.
the new civs:
-Chaotics
-Tigans
-Orcs
-Goblins
-Merfolk
-Centaurs
-Dark elves

Good to see your computer made it through surgery haarbal.

Once you get the civs done I'll get on the dialogue this weekend.

Are any of those civs lizards or dragons?

 

[Haarbal]

nope, but i'll put the lizzy's in after this pack
and my computer is still halfway through surgery
today's pack will probably take some more time. i'm currently working on civ4leaderheadinfos (big file if you have to add 12 leaders ) and add the text files
i think i'll be done in an hour (maybe earlier)

 

[edu2003mdq]

Love those civs names!! Glad to hear your computer is back online...
