[GS] How Would I Copy an Existing Wonder's Art Assets?

[ReggieB]

Hi all, I'm working on a mod that will create a non-unique version of the golden gate bridge wonder, so players can build as many bridges as they want for transportation. I've made the game mechanics work just how I want them, but it looks really ugly without any proper art assets. I don't have any experience creating art assets for the game, but I don't need anything other than an exact copy of the existing art assets (although a recolor would also be nice). Can anyone give me some advice or point me to a guide showing how to copy the art assets of an existing wonder to a modded one? I'd really appreciate it!

You will have to convert a Wonder to an Improvement. If you look through the ArtDefs for the string "BUILDING_GOLDEN_GATE" you can see how the Golden Gate is set up. You will have to cook a new version that has type Landmark instead of WonderMovie and then reference it from Improvements.artdef instead of WonderMovie.artdef. Not particularly easy but possible.
