I need two or three modders for final testing of a utility I'm working on. You will ...
  • have created two (or more) fully working civs complete with ALL artwork (DoM, 2D leader head, loading map, icons for uniques etc)
  • still have the original graphic files in png or jpeg format (these don't need to be the correct size or "port-holed" - if fact it will be advantageous if they arn't)
  • have Java 1.7 on your computer (or be willing and able to load it)
  • willing to accept a "self-signed" digital security certificate (issued by me) to permit the utility to download and run
  • be able to find time between now and next week to do this (I'm not expecting the testing to take more than 2 hours per civ)
The testing process will involve re-creating all the DDS files for your civs and then making sure the civs still work with the new DDS files (you may need to alter icon atlas entries).

What's in it for you? The warm fuzzy feeling of helping the community :clap: and a credit in the "Special Thanks" :hatsoff: section of the utility.

If interested please PM me - noobs need not apply ;)

Many thanks to Rob (R8XFT) for his invaluable observations, comments and input on this project.

I could still use one or two other sets of eyes on this project before I let it escape from the development lab. As an incentive, here's a teaser screen grab ...
 
I confess that I haven't had any fully-functioning civs released yet due to the difficulty of getting graphics to work (and Steam Workshop uploader hating my guts.) But this utility looks like it could change all of that.

I'm stoked.
 
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!!

So much less tediousness involved now! I'm looking to make a city banner alpha image, I'm guessing the icon tab will do that for me right?

DDS Converter (not DDS Creator), so you'll still need the original artwork in as a jpeg/png/gif file
 
Oh, I'm totally down with the art stuff, and so far I've converted around 30 icons - the presets are brilliant. For lack of other synonyms, this is absolutely brilliant, since all I do icons and art and it just removes that whole extra time doing the dds's by hand. For some reason my Photoshop doesn't convert them properly. Thanks a million!

My only issue (not sure if even fixable) is that icons with bits that are sticking out are probably not going to work.
