Paradeigma

[Apeiron]

(english and french)

The word paradigm comes from Greek "paradeigma" which means "pattern, example, sample". It is a philosophical and theoretical framework, mainly in a scientific discipline or other epistemological context.

In other words, your comprehension of the universe and your actions in this world are made onto a paradigm, which represents the state of your civilization during a specific period.

I introduce on this mod new and different civilizations, with their own paradigms and their own background. I hope you will enjoy to play with more oriented civilization and discover their specificities.

Hi / Salut Apeiron. I will use english for answering you as requested on this forum (but you can pm me in french quand même! ).

How to add a new civ icon

one link: http://forums.civfanatics.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=15498
For size reference read the Kael's guide. Convert in .dds (use Gimp2, very simple and free).

How to add soundtrack ? How to change the music during the down of man ?

two possibilities:
-reuse the existing music (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=423344)
-overwrite the original files by renaming your new files with the same name.
Any other way is possible at this time.

How to add pictures ? I don't know how to add my civ picture and my leader picture...

DOM: Size 1024x768
Leader: Size 1600x900
Map: Size 360x412
For other informations needed in your .xml, I recommend to look how a civ mod is built.
An aditional file is required for Leader, you find it in Art folder as Leader_scene.xml.

I finally found a program for that. The previous I found told me "not a power of two" when I tried to convert jpg to dds. So, I can make a picture with the good size and .dds but when I lunch the mod I've an error message "cannot load the texture".
Oh, and I don't know why but I cannot upload my mod (it stops at "Duplicate Mod Title not already on Hub")... I'll try again later.

After the con, the pro : the Meccans work properly !

Paradeigma (V1 : Meccan) is now available.
I finished the most of the translations and added the theory of evolution, but not special pictures or musics.

Have fun.

Little bug : I forgot the polybolos needs iron. I'll fix it for the next version.
