Graphics Modification Requests Thread

Okay, I get it. One more question: is the alpha channel strictly on or off, or can I do partial transparency (shades of gray, I presume) in a .dds (and in DXTBmp specifically)?

I believe it is just on or off, no partial transparency. I never tried that but all the civ dds files I saw so far did not use it.
 
Are there any mods that change the size of the advisor screen? Or does somebody know if it can be changed?

I use a 1680 x 1050 resolution, so the advisor screens take up only about half my screen. And I need to scroll many of them, which would be unnecessary if the advisor screens were bigger.
 
No, not really.
There are some mod components out there, look at the profile of this guy, which do it, and it should be no problem for you to combine them to your personal mod ;).

Thank you very much! That's exactly what I was looking for. My nifty widescreen is finally doing what it was born to do... for some screens at least.
 
I have a request: Would anyone be willing to make a better Kelp feature? The existing one was made out of a resource, rather than a feature like Forest; As a result, the feature doesn't merge in the same way that forest does.

My mod, with the help of a new version of the ErebusContinent mapscript by Seven05, is now placing 'forests' of Kelp in the ocean, in shallow waters; Would be awesome if we could get better art for it. ;)

:bump: Anyone interested in doing this? :please:
 
Does anyone know where to find a decent graphic for a trench/barbed wire or something? I'm sure I've seen them around somewhere.
 
I need two custom flag decals for a mod I'm working on:

1. This triskele symbol for the Celts:

2. This Ahura Mazda symbol for the Persians:

I just need the inner symbols themselves for the flags, not the shield texture or the outer circle or anything.

Can anybody help me out with this please?

Both flags are not tested.
For the celtic one, i used another triskele (i guess, it does not matter, right?), because the 2 pictures aren't really good for civ4 type flags.
I also would have used another one for the Ahura Mazda, but i can't find anything, which is close to it.
Have fun :).

Actually, as far as I know both of these flags have been made. I use the Celtic flag in my mod and I definitely have the Persian one handy too. So if The_J's aren't good, I got you, just PM me.

Thank you so much for doing those! I really appreciate it. :) I just tested them though and there's just a couple problems.

First of all, the Ahura Mazda one looks perfect, it just needs the color scheme to be reversed.

The Triskele is far too big; it overpowers the flag, and it also needs the colors reversed. Also, I really like the Triskele in the image I provided (with those little circles around it). Is it not possible to use that one specifically? :(

Thanks again!

I thought the same, but i looked at the database and could not find them.
Maybe they are included in one of the bigger modpacks :dunno:.
Or you made them yourself :D.

So if The_J's aren't good

Even probable ;).
I'm not an artist, and i only can do really simple flags and buttons, nothing good.
-> @Alezander: Ask Capo.



But i tried my luck with the triskele, it's attached :).

Alright, well, I looked at what I have and apparently I was mistaken about the Persian one. Rhye did post it in a flag pack though, so it should be somewhere in the DB. As far as the Celtic one, mine doesn't look the way you wanted it to, so I'd suggest trying out The_J's. I didn't make any of these flags, so I am not the person to ask if you need one made, but if it helps I think NikNaks is working on some flags and MadmanOfALeader is an excellent flag-maker.

It looks great, thank you! Now they both just need the color scheme reversed. Is that difficult to do?

Edit: Is it also possible to shrink the Triskele down just a bit? It's still quite large. Maybe to about the size of the default Celtic decal or so?

The triskele itself doesn't appear so big to me, and i can't really compare it to the normal symbol.
I've shrinked it now by 50%. Just say, it it's too much or not enough.

I've also reverted the color for both.
