[LH Gallery] NikNaks' Leaderhead Gallery

[Huayna Capac357]

It looks absolutely great! Just 1 thing: looks a little too much like Elizabeth. Maybe if you could make her a little less Elizabethian, it would be perfect!

 

[NikNaks]

How do you mean? It is a LH of the same period, so likeness is unavoidable, and the hair is totally different from Lizzie.

 

[The Capo]

Plus they ARE related, although I can see what he is saying. I still think its awesome though.

 

[MadmanOfALeader]

Not to mention that she and Elizabeth were closely related.

 

[NikNaks]

Anyone else experiencing problems? To upload a screenshot, upload it to Photobucket or go to Mediafire.com and upload it as a file.

 

[The Capo]

I'd go with a darker background, that's just personal preference though.

 

[RavenKing]

Ohmygod, I think it worked.

 

[RavenKing]

double post.

but since I've used this space I mell as well ask: I did not use Mediafire as NikNaks suggested, but used the 'Manage your attachments' process as suggested by CFC. What's the difference? Why is one better; or is one better?

 

[GeoModder]

If you use your CFC attachment space, the picture is stored on your personal upload space on the forum so to speak, and you can directly delete or whatever it here on the board. Mediafire is an off-site storage provider. If you want to edit the picture in your post later on for whatever reason, you need to go to the Mediafire site.

For simple pictures, using your attachment space is good enough. Simple and easy to keep track of. For big uploads (+10 megabytes), you're better off with an off-site storage provider like Mediafire.

I was just looking around for some possible backgrounds, because I think she'd look better in a darker setting and I came accross this.

CHECK IT OUT

I think it looks good with the cross in the background and it also looks digital so it matches the way she looks too.

mary is just amazing. i only regret that i released my thomas war 3.0 before i had a chance to add her. next version i guess.

 

[Agent327]

Excellent job and another nice addition.

 

[NikNaks]

Thanks for all the comments guys!

Ohmygod, I think it worked.

I'm not sure what's wrong here, probably a missing texture, but I'd like someone else to confirm it's a problem.
Try copying the "Elizabeth_spec.dds" file into her folder from Lizzie's. That should solve the problem.

 

[RavenKing]

Ok thanks I'll try that. And I do echo what everyone else is saying -- this is a great new leaderhead.

Ok I solved it, so here's what I did in case anyone else runs into this. I tried adding the "Elizabeth_spec" dds file into the leaderhead folder for Mary Q of S, but it didn't solve pinkeye. I went back to the folder and found a dds file marked: elizabeth_eye_envi, another dds file, so I copied that one into the Mary folder (without removing the Elizabeth-spec dds) and that worked.

I don't know if the Elizabeth_spec dds has anything to do with it, but i'm going to live it in just in case.

Thanks for the help, NikNaks.

And just a final comment, I didn't actualy dig into the Elizabeth art file from the game, but pillaged another leaderhead file that I had previously downloaded as part of CivGold (Teuta of Albania) that is reskin of Elizabeth so contains all of the various bits and pieces.

I am having a tough time with Mary
I was happy to see another Scot and appreciate the time you've put into it. I am trying to get it work - having read the prior posts I took care of the "red eye" issue I was seeing, but she's got no animation. I am hopinh one of you can correct what I've messed up
I've added it into a module containing this ArtDefine file:

<Civ4ArtDefines xmlns="x-schema:Mary_CIV4ArtDefinesSchema.xml">
	<LeaderheadArtInfos>
		<LeaderheadArtInfo>
			<Type>ART_DEF_LEADER_MARY</Type>
			<Button>,Modules/Custom Civilizations/Scotland/Mary/Mary.dds</Button>
			<NIF>Modules/Custom Civilizations/Scotland/Mary/Elizabeth.nif</NIF>
			<KFM>Modules/Custom Civilizations/Scotland/Mary/elizabeth.kfm</KFM>
			<NoShaderNIF>Modules/Custom Civilizations/Scotland/Mary/Elizabeth.nif</NoShaderNIF>
			<BackgroundKFM>Modules/Custom Civilizations/Scotland/Mary/elizabeth_bg.kfm</BackgroundKFM>
		</LeaderheadArtInfo>
	</LeaderheadArtInfos>
</Civ4ArtDefines>

Thanks for any help

 

[NikNaks]

The <KFM> needs to point back to the original Elizabeth, i.e. Art/Leaderheads/Elizabeth/elizabeth.kfm

Mistaken post.

Niknaks, are you working on Thatcher?
