Okay just a small sign of progress here, I've got most of the train texture finished, I just need to color the main body. I've just left GIMP open and done a little texturing here and there. I've been mainly focused on XML and unit graphics, so this isn't all I've been working on.
(Although school has been quite busy lately.)
I'll do a a quick run down of what I've done thus far + a pict of the Half-done train:
Civs:
All in, with the exception of Native tribes (need leader names!)
I've done the flags for them, but I still need to do some major leaderhead making, but its likely there will be placeholders in the 1st release. (I tried do a Houston LH one night, but I f***ed it up. I've at least got the texture done, though.)
This also reminds me; Ekmek (if you ever read this), could PLEASE put Santa Anna up separately, I really would like him for my mod, but I don't want to have to pillage Wolfshanze's mod to get it.
Units:
Not a whole lot done, just got the Ranger (Soldier), Cavalry (Dragoon) and some animations from SeZereth for a Pistol shooter (for the unarmed Regular and Veteran Soldier.)
I've got all 3 versions of the Ranger and Cavalry (Regular, Veteran, and Colonist), but I'm still a ways off from being done. I need to think of a new name for the Regular; it was originally going to be US Cavalry, until I threw in Mexico, Britain, and Spain.
I will not have every unit made up for the 1st release; it will likely only be a new homesteader (free colonist) and pioneer. I want to get this sucker cranked out so others can help me. (Esp. with the Gamefont file, it is practically impossible for me to figure that out on my Mac!)
Resources/Buildings:
I've basically got all the art for resources (mostly from Vanilla Civ), its just a matter of putting them in properly.
I probably won't be focusing on buildings (aside from names which are already in) for the first release.
I don't know what else I'm forgetting, but I'll post more screenshots once I get more things to show off.
Please keep offering suggestions, I really need some! (See post 14 for what I can't think of myself.)
