I don't know if it's too late...

I found a tribal wolf drawing on the internet, so I made it smaller and slightly modified it for use as a unit...

i have a sig list but it still needs work,

The 13th one down is mine.

It's not too late until the scenario is released.

 

[Chukchi Husky]

Ok... I think it could replace the scout wolf (I don't really like the wolves I done in SCURK)...

I'm still waiting for responses to what units file you want. If you can't decide, we can also do a mix.

 

[Chukchi Husky]

I like the new units file, apart from the three wing bomber, and I think the paratrooper could use a visible parachute...

 

[Chukchi Husky]

I just thought of something... For the surface teleporter, couldn't we use a mine graphic?

Heres a pretty good para with his parachute visible youd have to covert it to ToT format though.

Or prehaps a RA2 chrosphere either me or you could make that.

Here is a chronosphere:

Class. We should stick together a RA2 unit complilation or somthing.

2 more monoplanes, decide which of the 3 you guys want,

1. I'll take the one on the left to replace my current monoplane
2. Animated avatars aren't allowed on this site Ask a moderator to be sure.

a new paratrooper,
i think this guys parachute looks a little more airworthy than the rectangular one,

Can someone make me nanobomb / nanodeconstructor graphics? Thanks in advance

Description: They both sorta look like dust clouds. Blue for the 'bomb, purple or red for the 'deconstructor.

 

[Catfish]

Yeah, they look good. But I have a few other icon collections we might use. It'll probably be a mix between a few sets.

I'd be surprised if you found everything you needed in one collection.

That's right. When I made my "edit" mod for ToT this winter (you probably remember) I spent much time tweaking the terrain graphics to look good. I should post the terrainx.bmp's we're using now as well as the ones I've already posted.

Yes, making good terrain isn't as easy as most people think. I've also spent a lot of time working on terrain graphics. Getting them to tile seamlessly and integrate well with other terrain types in a scenario can be difficult. There have been many scenarios released in the last couple of years containing the latest and greatest unit graphics, only to be let down by absolutely dire terrain.

Even when they are darkened I don't really like them. I guess it's just me not liking the style. I'm more into the "original" Civ2 graphics. But they look better than the light ones (oh, how I hate pastel colors!).

Those fortified/fortress icons were done last year for use with Techumseh's Market Garden scenario. I haven't touched Curt's airbases. Why don't you just use the original 8-bit Civ2 graphics for the fortified/fortress icons if that's the look you're after? The original airbase icons are a little on the ordinary side, though.

I don't know them all, either, but I've tried to fill in a few of the gaps. I've also added a few common ones.

These are based on the dust cloud graphics from SimCity 2000...

I Yes, we could, but that could be too easy mistaken for a mine graphic.

Or prehaps a RA2 chrosphere either me or you could make that.

Good idea. But it won't fit much with the Towelite Settler ot the Common Drill unit. (We could of course use one graphic for the Towelites and ditch the Drill unit.)

I'd be surprised if you found everything you needed in one collection.

I also didn't say I would use only one (I said I had 'a few').

OK, now I know that I need to upload the terrain files. But not the terrainx.bmp's. I'll upload screenies of the terrain instead.

Yes, maybe going with the original graphics is a good idea. But I haven't heard any feedback on them from other people yet, so I won't do anything.

I'll leave it up to S290 to decide about them. I also want to know what paratrooper unit to use.

It's great to see that there is so much interest in this. If we could just get over the "post a lot of stuff, but don't discuss it" we can really speed up progress.

I don't mind what graphics we use...

I like the newest paratrooper...

@C_H: The first one isn't showing up for me (little box w/ the red "x"). The second one will do nicely for the deconstructor, though

The first one is basically the same, except with a blue tint instead of a red tint...

I uploaded it again:
