Damn, I'm having trouble with the Alpha Channel for the Ottomans. Anyone know how to fix it? I used both Gimp AND DXTBmp to set the Alpha, and I've gotten both black and grey in the middle.

Did you try using the flag from the TurkishMod?Shqype said:Damn, I'm having trouble with the Alpha Channel for the Ottomans. Anyone know how to fix it? I used both Gimp AND DXTBmp to set the Alpha, and I've gotten both black and grey in the middle.

I made that image from the Turkish mod flag, by switching the transparency+white and alpha. The point is I want the primary color to be white and the secondary crimson, which is why I can't use your Turkish flag directly.

Onedreamer, in EU2 Ottomans have the same flag, my problem is just with the Alpha Channel.
Thanks for wishing me success, I hope for this mod to be really interesting.
Very nice map of 1451, Dionysius! That would make for an interesting scenario of Ottoman conquest of the Balkans. Might I interest you in making a larger map for the broader scenario I plan to "ship" with the base mod? If you agree I can give you the specifics of what area to include. Thanks for your work!
That's mighty flattering, but I don't consider myself legendary. What 'modconcepts' in particular are you fond of? I'de like to know what you likealireza1354 said:

glad you like it. it was difficult to get the Ottomans economy in shape.
i am a bored individual, and i`m running out of scenario ideas
so i would only be to happy to make more maps for this mod.
what map have you in mind, and what year?
for now i`ll try my hand at the large map on page one.
Edit: i can`t stand seing spelling errors.

Very cool my friend, and thank you for your hard work. This is my request:
I would like for you to make a plain map of the following area (taken from the larger map in the first post of this thread):
Do not add Africa, and you do not have to go crazy adding Greek islands (if they're needed I can always go in adding them later). What I mean by a plain map is no civs, no resources, just the land and features (with rivers) if possible. I'm going for historical accuracy, and that includes accurate geography, so if you're able to, please make it as accurate as possible!
By what you've shown me so far you know what you're doing, and I anxiously await what you will turn up with these new guidelines. One suggestion, though: can you make the size of this map configurable (more or less)? I would like it to be a large size map, but I might need it slightly bigger or smaller. Do you create the .bmp files and then use that to convert? If so, then I'de be able to take your files and adjust their size to make the map as large as I want. Please keep this in mind just in case something needs to be changed or added later.
Thanks again Dionysius, and I can't wait to see your work!

thank you for your compliments, i am not worthy.
these maps are done in worlbuilder, tile by tile.
i have heard of bmp converters for maps but have
not yet found any.
could you perhaps post a link for one?
then you could adjust the size as you please.

In addition to the utility, it comes with an excellent tutorial in PDF format that will tell you everything you need to get started and to create your work. I highly recommend you use these to create your maps since in the longrun it will make it much easier for you to make additions

Dear Sqhype,
I am not a too frequent visitor here but I love my Civ. Let me try and give some input to your MOD in relation to Bosnia. I saw the discussions on the Bosnia and Herz. Civ Mod but a lot of it is just not with the best intentions.
You are also wrong to state that the Bosnians are Illyrians originally. Clear evidence of this is the "Bosancica", language used in medeavel Bosnia which is Slavic.The Bosnians are South Slavs, just as are Croats and Serbs. Just as those tow, the Bosnians formed their own kingdom at around 1080. Stjepan Tvrtko (not Stefan) is one of the Kings of Bosnia. In 1463, Ottomans conquered Bosnia which later became a pashaluk or ejalet, one of the provinces in the Ott. Empire.
In the period from 1080 to 1463 there was a special kind of church in Bosnia, the Bosnian Church or the Bogumili, related to Bulgarian manicheism. This church was not very well organized and the King remained catholic under the Hungarian and Papal pressure. With the arrival of Ottomans, Serbian Orthodox Church gained ground, but it was mainly the Islam that had replaced the Bosnian Church. It will be interesting if you can replay this in your MOD/Scenario.
As a conclusion, Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian kingdoms were all separate kingdoms at the time. Only with the rise of nationalism in the 19th century did the political and national influences come to Bosnia from its neighbours, culminating in the 1990s wars. Anyway, enough about history, let's enjoy your mod, here is some more useful info for you:
Flag: Yes, it is corect to use the Fleur-de-lis seal, that was the symbol at that time.
Cities: Vrhbosna as the capital (Renamed Sarajevo after the Arrival of the Ottomans)
Travnik (was a royal city at some time as well)
Jajce (this is where the last Bosnian King was beheaded by the Ottomans)
Tuzla
Banja Luka
Zenica
Bobovac (Old Royal city)
Vranduk
Visegrad
Foca
Visoko
Bugojno
As to the special unit, the Knights were the most powerful at the time. Bosnia has a lot of mountains, so some extra movement to its knight or maceman may be useful. Also to meet the Ottomans in Kosovo polje. Bosnia had a great relationship with Ragusa (today's Dubrovnik) and a nervous one with Hungary and the pope. They were ok with the Serbs and the Byzantines, but were under the pressure from there as well.
I hope this is useful...

Thanks for your post, but what do you have to say of the pre-Slavic Bosnian population? Definitely Illyrian. They were eventually assimilated, yes, but at an earlier time than I originally thought.
I appreciate you clarifying this for me. I was advised to have Visoko as the capital, since at that time the precursor to Sarajevo wasn't as important. But, if you offer me advice and information on Bosnia, I'de gladly take it
