OK _ I have created an AT-ST for Civ 2 (ATTACHED). Whenever I play with it, the land diamondon grass (EVEN ON WATER). How do I make it like the games diamond??
 
What do you mean, sonictrio? What do you want to look like what?

(koba and yop, some of us don't speak English as our native tongue, you of all should know that.)
 
I just noticed a spelling mistake in Kobi's post, where he said that the English of sonictrio was not good, that's all.

You post looks like its been through one of those on-line translators

And it's supposed to be YOUR post.

I didn't laugh with sonictrio's English.
 
OK - Sorry if I did not make myself clear. With my new unit, whenever I move onto a different terrain, grass is always under my unit (even in WATER). Any way to fix this?.?

BTW, I'm working on a Star Wars conversion. God, I know it's been done COUNTLESS times but I'm giving new discriptions, new people, new cities and (if I can) change GOLD to CREDITS.
 
Well, that's probably because you have grass inside the unit icon itself. The background for the unit graphic should be one or two of the two special purple colors.

The image didn't attach properly in your first post, please attach it again, so we can see the graphic (clicking the "Preview Reply" button will delete the attachment!).
 
ok - thanks mercator. like i said i have completed boba fett but he looks like he's from a comic book so i won't preview him just yet. i'll preview my at-st though (if i can).

UPDATE -
Changed Money (GOLD) picture to Credits
Changed Depressed Peoplein Cities to Boba Fett's head and Darth Vader (I'll try and attach them).

I can't find the attach button!!
 
here it is. comments appreciated. Keep in Mind that this is my first unit. thanks:crazyeye: .

The purple and pink colours on the attached image below are usually the background colours and they should always be the background behind your units. Any other colours will be visible in the game. Besides, the units have to be above the purple areas on the empty tile below. If you're not sure what colours you are using in your units file, just use the pink colour - it's always invisible. But make sure that the colours are exactly those on my attached file.

I think that's what your problem is, and that's also what the others have been saying... :D

EDIT: Sorry, you just fixed it yourself. I'm too slow... :D
 
OK - Thanks (again) for help! I'm running out of ideas for units (that was quick!) but I'm still gonna be working on cities etc. Was wondering if anyone would like to help with units? Credits will of cource be given to Unit Creator. I've finished my Jedi but he looks bad compared to other Star Wars Icon Packs so I won't post him until he's fixed up (like Boba).

Koba, I stopped jumping on you yesterday... :D

sonictrio: Try looking at some of the other Star Wars scenarios, you might get some units ideas from those. I can recommend Kobayashi's Insurrection (IIRC), it's the best on the market... ;)

Remind me to put you on my christmas presents list.

sonictrio: insurgent is right. Besides the many star wars scenarios (and mod-packs, they are archived seperately) there are also unit collections, wonder/improvement icon collections and people collections in the downloads section. No point re-inventing the wheel - but you should of course make your own modifications so that it offers something new.

Best of luck for the project.

Consider yourself reminded...

Oh Well...I'm still creating it for my own pleasure! If you want to see my latest venture (darn if I ain't busy today!) go to my other thread(s). Aw shucks, you don't have to fight over me ;). The reason my type was bad that day was because I was in a hurry to go to the theatre.

PS - The reason I'm new in Civ 2 is because I was working on a mod for Jedi Outcast and got bored...that explains Star Wars...
 
Soni, were you working on a mod for Jedi Outcast privately or professionally? I mean was it something you privatele set out to do, or do you get paid?
