[atomicshockwave]

why do all the units now have a pink squair around them?

Al'Kesh is finished and can be downloaded here.



And now I'm going to bed hoping I can get rid of this bloody headache...

Edit: you don't like pink? The pink will be filtered out in the game as Civ considers it as transparent.

Nice unit Flamand! I'll use it in Freespace.

why do all the units now have a pink squair around them?

It's the standard transparency color for the storyboard. It becomes transparent in-game.

Flamand, you are my hero...I can finish the Mod now!!!...

The rings are a WOnderful touch, I'll get the sounds...I have the rings, the attack, and maybe the run, I'll check...

 

[atomicshockwave]

thats just it in the game it is still there?

 

[Flamand]

No, in the game it is gone...

No, it isnt... The pink BG and pinkish shadows are using what are known in the graphics trade as "Alpha Blending".... You see, they look pink and purple to us, but in the game they are represented as varying degrees of transparency/shadow. The pink BG is invisible, because the game engine considers that color to be invisible, and the varying shades of purple are represented by varying intensities of Shadow. If you'd look at my Chocobo Knight unit, you'll see a pink box around the Chocobo Knight in the animated preview, but in the In-Game screenshot, the pink disappears.

but in the civ 3 editor the units have the pink box, in the game when you play it ALL UNITS have the pink box. this started after I downloaded and instaled a unit from the net.

 

[DJ Bonebraker]

Sounds like that unit's pallette was messed up... You see, it's not so much the color, but the position in the pallette... The last two rows of Civ III unit pallettes are used for Smoke, shadows and the last color slot is transparent... I've never had any problems with any of the unit's I've downloaded, though.

I deleated civ 3, then it worked, I slowly started adding files from my mod back in, it was the unit 32 file. dont know what hapened but that is fixed, but now there is a pink squair around the forest in civ edit, but now the game will not play!!!!!! it is a prob with civolapida, the mod is ready bor beta 1 release but I need to fix this prob first.

 

[WildWeazel]

It sounds like you've been editing graphics and messing up the palette. What program are you using?

 

[atomicshockwave]

The prob with the pink squares started after I downloaded a unit (not from this site) and put the icon in the unit 32 file. as for the civalopida file those probs started after installing the dacara mod, it caused probs because I have ptw it is made for conquest.

 

[atomicshockwave]

not using a programe

 

[WildWeazel]

If you modified the units32 file, you had to have used a program.

C3C mods simply can't be played with PTW. That's what is causing the crashes.

 

[atomicshockwave]

any one know if you can make a unit put up a fight but if it looses, get captured, not destroyed?

 

[WildWeazel]

No, but you can make units have a 1/3 chance of enslaving a certain unit when they win.

 

[atomicshockwave]

just paint shop pro 8.0

how do you make a unit that can do that?

 

[Quinzy]

psp 8 is a program. anything that does anything on a computer is called a program.

and just set it to have the "enslave" option in the editor.

 

[Spacer One]

I dont think the vanilla editor has enslave...

I would HEAVILY recomend buying conquests...it will improve your game play tremensously

 

[Quinzy]

does PTW? i think he said he has PTW..
