Dawn of Man Mod
By: TheLopez

Last Update: 08/05/06

Version: v0.2
Patch Compatibility: v1.61 and Warlords v2.0.0.0
MP Compatible: Yes
Download Mod v0.2

Description:
This mod changes the look and feel of the Dawn of Man screen a little bit.
Basically it makes:
- The screen a little bit wider
- Changes the two fortification icons to the Civilization flag icons
- The underlying positioning code has been updated so when the size of the
screen changes the position of everything else is automatically calculated.

Installation Instructions:

1) Unzip this into the "civ4_install_folder\Mods\" or
"warlords_install_folder\Mods\" folder
2) Open the CivilizationIV.ini configuration file
3) Change the Mod line to read: Mod = Mods\Dawn of Man Mod
4) Load the game.
5) Then play as normal.

alternately this mod can also be added to your custom assets folder with no
issues.


-----Notes to Modmakers-----

If you want to use this mod component in your mod I have tried to make things
as easy as possible for you. I have placed # < Dawn Of Man Start > and
# < Dawn Of Man End > everywhere I made changes to the original files.

-----Version Information-----

-----v0.1------

- Setup the Dawn of Man Mod infrastructure

- Made all of the changes needed to the Dawn of Man screen to make it a bit
more flexible than the original.

Man TheLopez, Faxis should put you on the payroll. You put out more free content in a couple weeks then they sold us in the expansion. :cool: :D

I would love that if the terms and conditions were correct... then of course I might not have the artistic freedom I have today...
 
For me the screen doesn't show centered on display.
My resolution: 1280x960

Maybe you can help me out.

And another proposal, how about disbanding the left flag and center the leader's name to this widened area?
 
where is the full Dawn of Man Mod? It sounds so cool
 
Given the widened screen I recomend reducing the height of the lower text box and incressing the side of the upper (which now at a minimum is holding SpecialBuilding info in Warlords and is often cramed full in user made Mods)
 
Alright, I have updated this mod.
 
Nice! I like that you replaced that sword & shield icon with the civ's flag.

Any chance that this can get added into the HOF Mod?

Talk to superslug or Dianthus about it. :) They handle all the HOF stuff.
 
Very very nice. It will be going into the Warlords version of my modpack. Thank you for the great work, as always. :goodjob:
 
Love version 0.2 :)

I do have a suggestion - now, I don't know if it'll work better or not (not even sure it's possible) but what if you moved the UU and UB listing to the right, alongside the starting techs. So right now it's kind like two rows in a table, and I'm suggesting putting them in two columns of a table.
 
I had a version like that but then I thought what would happen if more than two techs were starting techs... this is why they are all in one column...
 
Well Mike, Rabbit and I have been debating this exact point. I think I will put out a new version that does show the UU icons instead of just the boring text.
