Resource requests?

...here is the Preview for the European Goods Luxury Resource:

I included Wheat in the preview in order to show the size better.

I'm sorry, but what is that thing on that pic? It looks like a clay brick to me, but I guess Europeans don't export clay bricks and clay bricks aren't no luxury goods. So, what is that?

Arne...do you Read? LOL

LouLong... I made this Box to "represent" Imports, or Supplies. See if it will suit you for the European Goods Luxury Resource.
Resources are too small to have any words legible, otherwise I would write "Import" on the Box. Hope this will work for you.

Generally, goods that are shipped, are shipped in Crates, Boxes or containers. Since "Goods" are a General term, it seemed appropriate to use a "general" Box to "Represent" Imported Goods
...Hope this clears up the mistery for you.

TLC, since you're doing gfx jobs, would you be interested in making those power lines you suggested as river replacements?

That would involve me learning how river gfx work ... I can look at it, but don't hold your breath.

No, I don't.

Oh, I see, it's a box. Sorry, no offense, but it don't look like a box to me. I still see a clay brick or something like that. May be, it's just me.

Could be the Limited Colors in the resource palette ...still, it would have to be a Hugh Brick at that size though...perhaps a Monolith for a Brick Company but too large for a brick. looks like a Box in the Game anyway.

Colour and shape are off for a brick. Looks most of all like a cardboard box.

As for the palette, I did try to have the colors for Cardboard work out there. I realize that is it very Generic but thought it could be used to represent Imports...if not something else that requires a Box

It doesn't seem too complicated to me. There are just 2 files, about 16 tiles each, and the pattern would be identical to the rivers. I tried it myself, but I'm awful at drawing pixel-by-pixel.

Gee ! I had forgotten about that thread !
Sorry for that. And thanks for your time. However I kind of agree with Arne. It looks a bit like a brick or like a soft box, not like the wooden crate I had in mind...

 

[The Last Conformist]

You're a demanding one, er?

Would you like it better as a "ribbed" box?

 

[WildWeazel]

I would

 

[The Last Conformist]

You would, wouldn't you?

 

[WildWeazel]

perfect for a cargo resource at the seaports.

@Weasel: You may want to redownload it, since I forgot the shadow first time round.

Hey, that one is nice- if you make a longer version as well and potentialy make some in different colour we'd have some cool freight containers

 

[Spacer One]

I say the color is fine, although if it was longer it could be crates of rifles/missles... I suggest taking the "tape" off the top from when it was cardboard, presumably its nailed shut now...maybe "thicken" the borders on top, but I think this has much potential uses in all the forms Ive seen...great work TLC....

 

[The Last Conformist]

I think I'd rather try doing a freight container from scratch. I'll look at it tomorrow.

 

[LouLong]

Yep, demanding one !
But not for me, for the players !!

 

[The Last Conformist]

You didn't answer whether the ribbed box was good enough.

 

[LouLong]

Well, it can do the job. So if you are busy, I will take it.
If you want/can/don't mind doing the freight container, it might be better... and its meaning obvious that's the most important thing).
