Rise of the Ottomans (C3C)

[aaminion00]

Thanks for the info . I think they're a little too early for this mod then

@nebuchadnezzar - The "Cannon" that comes with the Gunpowder tech is just a siege cannon. The more advanced cannon comes later.



@Anyone who knows!

I'm working on making a .pcx of the necessary resources right now but... what do I do about the shadows? How important are they to the game? Obviously I wont be able to make shadows for all of these resources, is there any way to disable them?

 

[aaminion00]

Ok, after a brief copy and paste session, we have all the resources in place. We won't have any shadows, I hope nobody is heart broken by this. The only reseources missing are:

Honey
Perfume

Of course, absolutely no work has been done as far as civilopedia and pediaicons go, and I'm still not 100% sure I know how to add resources. However, they do show up in the editor, so I have a feeling it will work.

I still don't know what to do with the map . I am now convinced it's horrible, but I have no idea where to get a new one. If anyone is willing to take up a Balkans and Middle East map, or knows someone who would, be my guest. Until then we're stuck with the one we have, which has many geographical flaws. On the bright side, it'll fit right in with the other Firaxis maps.

@nebuchadnezzar: don't worry about such details yet. We already talked about those mostly (especially the siege cannon part was already mentioned). Let's get the core thing going first.

@aaminion00: zaga is supposed to mean "donkey" as far as I know (it's just the name of a TV show in Turkey but I've been told that it's Bosnian).

Anyway, I'll make the shadows if you want.

 

[aaminion00]

And here's a rough JPEG version of the resources.



Row 1: Muslim Villages, Christian Villages, Timber, Horses, Iron, Saltpeter
Row 2: Quary, Mercenaries, Camels, Dyes, Incense, Perfume (Blank)
Row 3: Spices, Honey (Blank), Wool, Rakiya, Gold, Silver
Row 4: Wheat, Fish, Cattle, Olives, Oasis

I'm not sure how resources work, but that's 23. If I'm correct we can only add 1 more.

Ah donkey. I've never heard of Zaga. It's "Magarac", pronounced Magaratz

Here's the resources and the empty shadow pcx. Is that what you need?

Oh and also regarding the map, two people have said it's "Pretty Good" so I'm guessing most people wouldn't mind.

 

[aaminion00]

Ohh, maybe you mean "Mazga"? That's the cross between a female donkey and a horse. That or between a female horse and a donkey. One of those two.

In "My Resources" link in my sig I have a earthen jug/pot used as a butter pot, but I assume you can use it for honey as well.
Maybe you could use a rose or something symbolising perfume?

 

[spincrus]

Most of them have already shadows that come with the game. I'll just assemble them together. The villages and all don't need shadows anyway, since they are, err, too big to drop any shadow

I'll do the honey and parfume if you want, tho.

The problem with that is I didn't exactly place the resources in there in the same position as they were in their original pcx's, so they might appear a bit "off". Should I go ahead and redo it with the resources in the exactly right place?

As for mrtn, yes, thank you we'll use your jug. And since I have found a rose resource somewhere among the PTW fan made scenarios, I think no new resources are necessary!

i've been folllowing this thread and i would like to know if there is something small i might be able to do. nothing to difficult because i'm not too experienced with editing.

I'm sure there'll be something you can do soon enough. Also, it won't be for a while, but if you want you could be one of the testers when the scenario is nearing completion.

 

[spincrus]

Yes! Let's use the rose instead of the perfume.

Don't forget that the Anatolian roses are very famous (ever eaten Turkish Delights with rose flavor?) Rose aroma is used in a lot of middle eastern dishes.

 

[aaminion00]

Alright, but you come up with the civilopedia entry.

But you didn't answer me. Should I redo the pcx.?

thanks, i would like to do that for you when your finished. again, if you think of something small ill be happy to do it for you or at least help.

I got so carried away I completely forgot why I was posting an answer in the first place.

It's no big deal, I can handle that

What are you thinking for soundtrack? I think that throughout the game the song "Istanbul not Constantinople" should play over and over and over again.

Well, we can't change the game's music , but I'm sure that SpincruS would agree with me that if we could...

 

[spincrus]

Even though I have respect for Galatasaray;

They're playing each other this sunday. Fenerbahce has beaten Galatasaray about a year ago or two, with a score of 6-0.

History will repeat itself!

You can change the music. In the text folder (in the AoD conquest, for instance) there is a file called music.txt
I've never modded it, but it seems kinda obvious how it works.
Personally I always listen to winamp while playing civ, though.
