New Units from Summer (August 25, 2004)

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Sword of Geddon, you should base the polyniesian units on Maori warriors, they were polyiesian and were very good fighters in wars like the New Zealand wars in the 1860s against the british.

Theres an idea...I want to try making Kal-El's Swordsman into a unit first, but Polynesia is underepresented, so I will definitely be focusing on them.

The FrankAx is awesome ! In he goes !

Just to let everyone know, the Civilipedia Images(Large and Small) for these units DO NOT show up in game. This is probably due to the fact that they aren't 256 colors(which Civ uses). If someone would correct this problem, or point out how we all could do it ourselves, they'd be doing us all, and Utahjazz a great favor.

Load them in a paint program, reduce the number of colors to 254, add 2 more colors (last in most program, first in psp) to make 256 and here you go.

I tried that in Paint Shop Pro 8....(Increase/Decrease Color Depth) it still wouldn't showup in game for some reason...help!

 

[utahjazz7]

Hmm . . . I did apply a 256 color palette to them, so I don't know what the problem would be, but I'm sorry that they don't work.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

I'm not sure...They should work, I've tried fixing them myself again (with Paint Shop Pro) and they don't work. Do they show up for you in game Utahjazz?

Well, I actually don't have any custom units in my game. I just reinstalled CivIII this last week. I hadn't actually played for probably six months or more. I'm just making units for . . . well, no real reason other than I like it.

I know the feeling...

I haven't played a full game of Civ in over a year....

that said, I will be honest with you; they are a bit big, scaleing them down just abit to make them civ sized could improve thier over-all effect quite a bit, even if they are supurb as it is, what seperates them from perfection of the art is only a thin line really

Hey, for once I agree with Xen

Aluminium said that he would resize them at some point, so check back later. I'm not sure when though.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

I discovered that It was my fault it wouldn't show up in game... I mispelled the unit when I added it. Its fixed and looks great in game..

By the way Utahjazz...I wanted to get into unit making...but I have Poser One(and that is incompatable with everything out these days, seeing as it came out TEN years ago), and so I can't proceed with my plans to do the Polynesian Swordsman(That was Kal-el's final concept art drawing he did before leaving for the Navy)..seeing as you have done two Polynesian units already(The Spearman and Warrior), could you do the Swordsman in the future?

The Crocodile Warrior and the Frankish Axe Thrower are done and game-tested. But not the Pedia-Icons . I will make the two others tomorrow.

Oh, wonderful, Aluminium! Thank you again, very much. The pediaicons are okay, I think. So, that shouldn't be a problem.

Aluminium has finished the resizing. The files are here and in the first post.

Thank you, Aluminium! I greatly appreciate your help.

I too would like to thank Aluminium for myself and on behalf of everyone else!

He has saved us time and effort and thanking him is the least we can do...
