Graphics Modification Requests Thread

[Deon]

Since you don't specify a theme for the main menu screen I decided to make what I find appropriate:

Files from the attachment go to /assets/art/interface/main menu/

Sweet thanks. That was very fast, and I like it. It's a little stuck in the ancient era though. Could you add a late 19th century steamship (or a couple ships) with cannons blasting in the harbor, and some Air Assault troops jumping in out of their choppers to assault the city? That would be perfect.

Also do you know how to make an icon for a desktop shortcut, NikNaks has already written the script for it, I just need the icon image itself. I was thinking CIV, with the I being a partisan holding a rifle over his head... At least that's how I picture the icon in my mind.

 

[snipperrabbit!!]

Do you have an idea what your shortcut image should look like ?

A separation request for the Cultural Citystyles project.

Could someone with a modeling program separate the four asian structures in the attached nif?
The idea is to use one of them as a granary, and the others as part of a early marketsquare in the asian artstyles.

 

[snipperrabbit!!]

I came up with this one :




Rename it has .ico and attach to your mod .exe then you'll have it for the shortcut.

EDIT : you'll have to use The Gimp to save the image as a .ico

Ugh, it's a painting and I consider it a vandalism to paint over it . Let me think about it. Also modern ships in antique city look silly .

Thanks snipperrabbit!! I was able to save this as an ico using gimp easily. The thing is though, I've designed Bronze Steam and Tears to look, feel and play like how a commercial expansion pack would.

When looking at the icon, it just doesn't fit with the others. This is minor and all, and beggers can't be choosers. But it would be so awesome to get an icon that felt like it fit with the others, you know:

I was thinking something like this:

But formatted so it looked like the other icons...


Deon, thanks again for that image. I like it, but I don't think I can really use it. Again, I just don't see that being used in an official XP, something like it with about 1/2 the carnage with some totally over the top absurd, but still kinda cool looking paratroopers assaulting the city in the background would work great though. My big problem is for this opening screen I'm not sure exactly what I want. I really like that painting, but it just feels too cluttered, and doesn't capture the whole age progression thing going on with Civilization.

The two main things Bronze Steam and Tears does to expand on BtS is to add Revolutions, and add in Steamship navies. It also adds in Legend Units (think FFH Heros), like 300 Spartans, and the 101st Airborne. My dream opening screen would capture this somehow...


Am I making sense, am I asking for too much?

 

[snipperrabbit!!]

Do you want a larger crying_soldier (the one on the bottom left already) with plain BST letters on top ? [ Same fashion as the vanilla logo ]
I can make it later.

 

[phungus420]

That sounds good. Instead of BST, just CIV would be better, as all the other Civ Icons use CIV. Though, as stated above my ultimate preference would be to use CIV, enclosed in a circle like the other icons, where the I is the partisan from CivII or Civ3 (I can't remember which civ the partisan is from anymore, lol).

and doesn't capture the whole age progression thing going on with Civilization.

Well, I didn't have a time to find this kind of image. I mean, I wanted some picture which shows the transition from ancient times to the future too, but I was unable to find something good . So I ended with this. I agree that it suits more for some kind of antique/ancient expansion mod so I'll try to find something more suitable.

 

[snipperrabbit!!]

I planned to do both.

new version :

 

[Deon]

New version looks good, the only problem: if you resize it details become too small.

My part in the competition:

100% freehand.

I wanted it to be simple yet informative. If you need some tweaks i.e. a circle on the background ask away.

 

[Deon]

I've found this nice modern warfare pic and turned it into civ4 main menu. Maybe you like it more?

 

[xmen510]

I'm not sure if this is doable, but I was wondering if anyone might be able to come up with something for the Arda Mod. I am thinking along the Movie lines.

One of teh things I was thinking was using the image in the Prologue that is an all balck screen with the word:

The Lord of the Rings, but changing the words and using the same graphics lettering for The Arda Mod.

Any suggestions would be a great help.

Thanks.

On the topic of those done for BST; Those look really, really good.

 

[Deon]

Once Arda gets it's first "playable" phase (I mean, with mainframe for races, techs etc. so I could load it in my LOAD MOD option ) I am going to join the team as artist/modeller. Before the basics main coding is done I don't plan to join, sorry. It takes too long for the main developer to do something . The forum is more about ideas than about a progress of the mod.

 

[NikNaks]

I've extracted the original CIV icon and removed the I, so if someone wants to drop a partisan graphic in the middle of it, it's good to go. Shall I upload?

 

[Deon]

Do it . *10 chars*

We are coming along. Some stuff we have working, others are still abit away yet. Hopefully it won't be too much longer.
