Hey,
I would like to start a project to change the static leaderheads to era-specific.
I've read (or at least tried to) most of the info thats here on leaderheads and it looks like leaderheads are already going through a lot of changes, so I could only hope to get enough attention, to get some advice and support on this matter
1. I need a hint from the dev's on the best input quality - I've noticed some of the LH DDS's have only one 512*512px layer, while others have 7 layers degrading to 8*8px.
2. In the case of the era specific LH, would it be better to have all the graphics in one file, as layers or to split it to file per era?
3. Any ideas to unify the naming system for the images/layers to make implementation easier? Would something like PRE- CLA- MED- REN- MOD- FUT prefix/suffix be enough?
4. Everyone feel free to contribute - just let me know (PM), so that I'll start listing for LH already being made/done, to reduce doubles. Due to the nature of the project, if you would like to contribute tampered work of others - include sources, as they will be listed under your name.
5. After all that forum reading and sniffing around C2C folder contents, I lost all confidence in that I could, get the hang of the overwhelming amounts of data and code it into the mod. What will happen is I will treat this project as a modders resource, until someone smarter then me shows up to use the graphics and claim most of the fame
.
Expect first samples soon.
What do you think about it?
