Heretic_Cata's "All in One" mod (Semi-Private Beta)

[Virote_Considon]

Well...my parents snuck into my room, and password'd my computer when I was out... They arn't giving me the password back for a couple of weaks...

 

[Heretic_Cata]

That sux.
One of the very few things i like about my parents is that they don't know anything about computers.

 

[BadKharma]

Wow I didnt realize you guys were so young my parents are lucky if they can turn a computer on let alone know anything about passwords or accounts. Plus they would have to come over to my place to do it.

Btw, BadKharma how's the tech tree making going ?
(again, not that i need it now or anything ... just asking )

I am still not certain what to do with the ancient tech tree ... i do have some preety strange ideas, but we'll leave that for the end ...

I have curently (basicaly) found every graphics i need ... There is just one wonder splash that needs "balancing" with another one.
Of course there are still several building graphics in the making; hope they are made on time ...
:sigh: I can't wait for this to be over ... i am just a bit tired with all the begging around for stuff...

 

[BadKharma]

If you are planing to change the positions of any techs or add any techs I'll have to wait because I will have to redo the arrows............it doesnt take long just depends on final positions.

 

[Heretic_Cata]

In the other tech trees i'm not going to change anything else other than the stuff i posted...
The ancient one is going to have some major changes i'm afraid ... I'll post a pic when i will decide what exactly to do ...

 

[BadKharma]

ok all I need is the final positions of all techs then I can tweak their position if need to be to avoid overlap etc.

 

[Heretic_Cata]

Ok, so here's the ancient tech tree... it's the best i could come up with ... There are still 2 arrows intersecting eachother but the alternative would have been for Pottery to be all the way up, and that is not how i want my tech tree to look like.
Here's the pic:

OK that will work do you have i like that in the biq allready?

 

[Heretic_Cata]

OK that will work do you have i like that in the biq allready?

?
Nope - it's not in the biq. I just made this in paint to see what it looks like...

So, how can i find the coordinates (without trial and error) ?

 

[BadKharma]

Not sure about paint I use photoshop and if I hover over the upper left hand corner and look at the navigator window it gives me the x and y coordinates want me to move the techs to line up like the pic?

 

[Heretic_Cata]

But i croped the borders so that i may see the pics in 800x600 . I think i can put it back together ...
But from where does the game start counting the pixels ? From the corner of the screen ? or from the corner of the interface ?

 

[BadKharma]

I have my ways of working with cropped pics so it wouldnt be a problem. The coordinates start from the top left corner of an uncropped screenshot.

In that case, i think i can give you the coordinates ... but in 3-4 days kuz i'm a bit busy now...
Also, another q:
The coordinates in the editor are the coordinates of the top-left corner of the tech right ?

 

[Heretic_Cata]

I think i managed to find how the coordinates are put ... they are put 2-3 pixels above the visible border of the tech ...

 

[BadKharma]

If you look at the tech background pcx you will see that area is included in them

 

[Heretic_Cata]

I think i put the tech tree together ...
I put the file in the attachment. Also, you should not replace the old one kuz i changed some stuff and you won't be able to play it anymore ...

Also, i think i missed some arrows in the 3rd era in my paint drawing ... from St.Pow to Industrialization, from Radio to Adv flight ... and may have missed some more ...
Anyway, you don't have to rush with this thing, work on the mod is going very slowly ... some problems. So the release date has been kicked back a bit ... again ...

 

[BadKharma]

Well that wont work in order to make the arrows in the tech background you have to make screenshots of the eras so you know where the techs are then you open a blank advisor screen and add the arrows to that by superimposing the screen shot over it so you know where the arrows need to be. If you could make a scrrenshot of each era in game and zip that it would be perfect to use to make the new science advisor backgrounds from.

 

[Heretic_Cata]

Ok then , i'll take some screenshots now ...

 

[Heretic_Cata]

Here they are ...
