note: Brian Boru and Brian Boruma are the "same leader". Boru is used with celts, Boruma is used with Ireland

Post in this thread the (existing) civ you want to be included first

Thanks to all of these modders for their works
Special Thanks to Jecrell for his graphic works on my mods
Below are some pictures

Superciv V1.05 click free, wait 20s, download, happy civing!!!
WARNING Huge File (64MB)
on rapid share:
http://files.filefront.com/SupercivV105rar/;4629069;;/fileinfo.html

if you meet problem with the diplofile, here is an hotfix:

http://rapidshare.de/files/11175477/CIV4DiplomacyInfos.rar.html

For those who want their civ added faster, you can help me by:
-put all the changes in one file (like anima croatorum have done with austria)
-put all the text in one file only (look at Carthage by Jecrell mod or Superciv mod xml files). If possible, put the text in all langugaes even if it's in english. just put the text between french, german, spanish and italian tag...
-put the changes in front or in the bottom of the files. Alphabetical order (almost) doesn't matter in xml files. Since i don't care myself (yet) with alphabetical order, it's not a problem...
-don't put any references to Atlas for the buttons. the only references you need is the one to your vanilla .dds file
-don't change the vanilla civ colors and if possible, try to create your own. Colors give me headaches...
-tell me when there is an updated version of your mod (and which files are concerned), so i can update it in Superciv
-don't use any generic name when you do different mods:the reference "TEXT_CITY_NAME_CITY1" in 3 different mods means that i need to change it twice by mod (when you call for it and when you describe it)

Could you please post version numbers for the included mods? Would be nice to know if there's a more updated version.

 

[Red Door]

Is this in French? Whoa. I think somebody will have to make an english version for more people to play this.

 

[LAnkou]

it's in english, but since i play with the french version, french civilopedia is displayed in french

 

[Wyz_sub10]

Thank you very much for your work! It'll be great to have everyone's efforts in one place.

Kudos!

 

[woodelf]

Terrific work L'Ankou. Now I just need to alter the game turns, tech, and such and I'm good. Thanks.

 

[Jecrell]

LAnkou, I just want to say that you did an extremely good job on this project, and the only problem I can find is very slight. The alpha channels for various buttons/civs are missing -- so they don't look like buttons. If you don't know exactly what I mean, look at the diplomacy screen and compare Hannibal to Mustafa.

Other than that, amazing work.

 

[Red Door]

oh ok. thanks.

 

[ejdacanay]

which one is scotland in?

 

[Scytale]

Man you are the best!! You don't know how much I wanted this. Now I'll easily update my map. Thank you!

 

[Uluk]

The alpha channels for various buttons/civs are missing -- so they don't look like buttons.

Yeah, I noticed that the buttons have alpha channels too when I updated my mod recently. I never even noticed that before until I opened one of the default buttons in DXTBmp. I used DDS Converter 2 until very recently and that obviously sucks quite a bit compared to DXTBmp. Anyway, I didn't have much time to work with the last update so currently only one button has the alpha channel present and the rest don't. For example, Mannerheim there hasn't got one. Expect those to be fixed in the next release.

Gj combining the mods LAnkou. Expect to do many updates into this one, tough, because there's lots of polishing to do in many mods atm. And there's more coming each and every day. It seems that we are going to have all of the 50 states soon.

Cheers,
Uluk

 

[Antimatter3009]

Awesomeness. Thank you.

 

[LAnkou]

Well, for the alpha channel, let's modder do it on their own mod (although they don't update it anymore) (by the way, PM what to do with alpha channel for my own mods, ie Celts and Bretagne)

I was adding bulgaria and there comes my first doubt:
The Bulgaria mod let Bulgaria having 3 UU (Boyar and two others). I'm ok with more than two leaders since you will play only one. But with UU it's different, it's having more than one is opposite on the "rules", i mean, all others civ play with one UU, what happend to a player meeting Bulgaria?
I'm ok for people modding many UU for their own Civ, but in SuperCiv, since it would bother me, I will leave only one...
One day, i may post a "all UU" file but for now, i try to add civ...

For Bulgaria, the remaining UU is the Boyar since it is the only one i knew the name.

 

[andz]

you should include CivArmy s. 1994's Civilizations..

[LAnkou]

well, i know i will (that's the goal of Superciv, read the first post and the new civ thread)
but, don't tell me i "should" do this...

If you want it to be included first, just tell it so...
It's maybe because i'm french and "should" have a different meaning for me (not the proper one), but i find your post quite rude...

 

[yacco]

Great job!! What can we say more

 

[LAnkou]

Ok, just add Israel, Quebec, Bulgaria and Texas
Plus some graphic minor changes (buttons and Bretagne Flag)

By the way, for the leaderheads, we got:
4 roosevelt
3 Napoleon
3 Alexander
2 Genghis, 2 Peter, 2 Washington, 2 Julius
33 Unique Leader

wich mean 51 Leader for 30 civ...Pretty good!!!

 

[woodelf]

L'Ankou - Have you looked into how hard it will be to incorporate the BlueMarble graphic pack with this? I just started downloading it so I haven't checked yet.

 

[LAnkou]

no, i haven't
i may consider it once i've finished compiling all civs....

 

[Jecrell]

Blue Marble isn't a 'mod' -- it's a graphics pack that applies directly to the game. It works fine with it.
