The Call to Power conversion collection

[symon]

It isn't at Apolyton, just linked to. Took me a while to track it down.

Try:-

BTW, anyone managed to get it to bulk export images with other than a white background?

Thanks.)

 

[stgelven]

where can i download the files?

 

[Steph]

You cannot yet. Conversion has been delayed for an undetermined period of time.

I love all the futuristic mech units!
BTW Steph, have you gotten Conquests yet? Amazon is too slow !

I was going to convert these three CTP2 units (Spy, Slaver, and Fascist) but didnt have the time. If someone else would like to take this on feel free. I recommend reducing the size by 85% and you'll have to reduce it to 8-bit and make a pallete and add civ colors and make mirror frames for the directions that ctp2 doesnt use.

Or did I miss the links to these units?

yep, so far this thread seems to be in the wrong forum...

Well, I was over enthousiastic with that...
I have a tool to open the sprites from CTP and export them.
I could then adapt SBB to produce the units for civ...

But when I looked in details, I discover CTP units are missing a lot of animation and/or orientation, and thus it's not really possible to convert them to Civ...

I guess sh** happens, would have been nice I always liked CTP, oh well, so I won't have slavers or clerics (ore any of the cool futuristic units ) in my game, or more precisely I'll have to find some other units for that.

The slaver unit would be a great way to take advantage of C3C's capabilities, and is the unit I would most like to see in this collection...

There are a lot of missing animations.

Still, I did manage to cobble together a few halfway acceptable convertions.

I've never thought to release them as:-

a) You were sure to do a better job, I don't think of mine as acceptable quality for release.

b) I have no desire to steal your thunder.

 

[Steph]

a) That's also why I stopped. I thought the result won't be good enough to be released here.
b) You have nothing to worry, I'm a nice guy...

I would not have been angered by that...


Well, not to much....

well steph, is there at least an all-8-directions static animation for some of the scifi ones? (they could be of use in my mod). you could release that and i could to a FLICster job for an attack and movement/fidget animation...

IIRC there are four _different_ directions, (N,NE,SE,S).
You can Mirror NE/SE to get NW/SW.
SW/SW have to serve for E/W

That's what I did anyway.

 

[Quinzy]

seems like a good idea

 

[Steph]

Well, some animations don't even have that many directions....

Now you remind me, yes, some were almost useless.

Luckily for me, these were mostly the ones I wasn't that interested in.
