Star Wars Total Conversion. PLZ VIEW!

[sonictrio]

I'm creating a total conversion for Star Wars (which means I'll change cities, some terrain, icons and money). My first unit (AT-ST) is attached. You might need Paint Shop Pro 4 (or higher) to open it. Sorry!

Sonictrio

BTW - I'm changing World Wonders too...!

 

[insurgent]

Nope, you don't need no smart imaging program, MS Paint opens it nicely... I have PSP 7 but I usually just use good old Paint, it's much easier.

BTW: sonictrio, try opening the image in Paint and moving the borders of the image, so that the white area isn't included...

Oh boy. ANOTHER Star Wars modpack.

Well I hope the unit styles will be consistant and not just pulled out from a grab bag of misc units.

Double post

My units were consistent, they always are.

In case you have any use of them (sorry they were made before episode II) - but use the version in the downloads section, this one is probably adulterated by the JPEG conversion.

p.s. a few units without the kb were not made by me.

 

[sonictrio]

hey man these are AWESOME!!! how did you create these??? i'm recruiting people for this thing, you don't have to join but if I can use some and alter some of your icons that'd be great! This means I can do more work on wonders etc.! email me at rswann@eircom.net if you'd like to join...

Thanks for the invitation. I'm kinda tied up making another scenario right now. Besides, I'm sorta retired from making space scenarios. You might want to contact the guy (kubz) from this thread though.

i've made a big set (252 units) of Starwars units too (for Test of Time)

http://eyn.free.fr --> ToT/bibliotheque Graphique

u could found some others SW units (198) in a collection from differents authors in the Civ2/bibliotheque Graphique section

and a link to Bebro's site where u can found Cobra's SW units
(good and big set of units)

 

[sonictrio]

how did you make so much!?! the only problem is that i don't have ToT . Here are the other stuff I worked on last few days (it's small but a start) they replace some of the tech pics (8)/

 

[Eyn]

it didn't take me a long time that's just copy/paste from the PC game X-Wing Alliance for spaceships and copy/paste from a figurines'website for soldiers and heroes...

max 2-3 min for ships units
more for soldier, cause i've to search good ones between lots and lots of figurines !

It is suprisingly easy to make spaceship units if your source is an already computer generated image like a mesh. I mad most of my Star Trek units in one night (see link in sig )

Using screenshots from the movies introduces lots of interference and fuzziness but CGI is sharpe.

 

[techumseh]

Could you explain in more detail how you copy images from computer generated images? What is a mesh?

 

[insurgent]

These are meshes of 3d-models of Star Trek thingies: http://www.thetrekker.org/coldwar/cw_model_index.html ... I guess that's what they use...

i use DX snapshot 4 shareware
i configure it to make multi screenshots
then i run a game

that's very easy, u can create lots of good units "quiclky"

i use PSP shareware to copy/soften/reduce/sharpen/copy (and sometimes adjust brightness/contrast) units taken from screenshots.

For the SW ships i use screenshots from X-Wing Alliance
for the WW2 vehicles i use screenshots from Panzer Commander

if there's fan here who want to create 3D units for Civ3, it may be a good idea to use DXsnapshot with 3D games (Panzer Commander units show room / XW Alliance / CFS / CFS2 / IL2...)

Go to:

http://civ2.gamigo.de/ein_scifi.html

Here you can find a lot of starwars units.

 

[techumseh]

So, do you have to take them from screenshots or can you crack the code of the special files they use in RT games?

 

[insurgent]

I'd guess screenshots, sometimes a little of the areas outside the units on screenshots can be seen. I tried it once, it gave a kind of "photo-realist" style, not my preferred.
