The Doktor's Icon Request Workshop

I'm not to sure if its fully stable so if anything I will test it on some other computer later so it doesnt mess with my main CiV copy.

Also one last icon that you could make for me? possibly?

Spoiler :

this not high priority right now you are free to complete it whenever you want.

 

I was curious so I tested it and it works fine absolutely nothing wrong with it... good to go must have been a bottle neck in your pc pagefile Doktor

 

Well, that's a bit of a relief. Thanks for testing it. Any ideas on how to resolve it?

 

Something like this suit your tastes?

 

Considering just how indistinguishable the icons are from their background, I'd highly recommend a different colour selection for a couple of these. That being said, here are the ones you asked for:

 

Well If you haven't done already first and foremost I would suggest uninstalling civ5, then before you reinstall it run a cleaning program like "CCleaner" or "Wise Disk Cleaner" both of which are free, then run a registry cleaning program to clean out the registry of redundant and bogus entries, then disable your pagefile.sys through advanced system settings, reboot your PC, when booted up re-enble your pagefile.sys again using custom settings, generally the rule of thumb is 1.5 the size of your RAM but you can go up to 3x the size of your RAM if you choose that's if of course you have a 64bit PC if you have a 32bit PC then the setting are different again, then re-install Civ5 now that's worse case scenario or you could just re install CIV5 and hope for the best

PS: here's a small screen shot of your hand work

 

I work in IT. I heavily recommend being very, very careful what you do on these steps. Very.

 

Really so do I mate in fact I'm a network engineer with A+ and Net+

 

All I can Say is Altosia (first one) Looks a lot better than i thought and might be than my Movis Icon.

The bulwell, im not fond of the design i made and will just make it a temporary place holder.


I now see a few choices were poorly made (and a few designs kinda suck but ill figure something out in the future) do you have any suggestions on whar might look better, ether just saying or recoloring icons to a more conferting taste?

 

Well then, in that case, I'll just try the uninstall/reinstall thing and see if that works, since I'm a little bit technologically illiterate for someone my age. If that doesn't work, I'll just hold off on the other steps for now.

Glad the unit looks OK, though the top of the hat/fez wasn't supposed to be black. If I can get it working on my end, I'll try and fix that.

 

My biggest suggestion is to not have two colours that are extremely dark. If one must be dark, the other should not be.

 

These were fun. I liked having a chance to do something not Eurocentric. Also liked reading up a little on both of these guys.

 

Those are great, thank you so much!

 

Hi Doktor

Try the uninstall/reinstall and see how you go, if that doesn't work PM me and I'll give my email and I'll walk you through the process contrary to ldvhl well meaning misguidance it's not that difficult and it's not that dangerous although it would help if you were alittle computer literate hence why I'll walk you through it. The registry part is vital though, To put it in laymen terms when a program corrupts quite often it will leave entities within the registry that will not uninstall and are left behind even if you use a third party uninstall program, so consequently when the program is reinstalled sometimes those entities will remain and re-corrupt the program. However hopefully the uninstall/reinstall is all that is needed, let me know how you get on

 

Can you convert units from Civ 4? Because if you can I need the Native American rifleman here for the Apache: http://forums.civfanatics.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=8237.

 

Unfortunately, 3D art, even conversions from Civ 4, is not something I'm able to do. Some of the programs required to do that don't seem to want to work properly on my computer, and as such, I haven't had a chance to learn how to create new units.

 

Thanks for the advise and for your work

 

Alright, here ya go!

Though, correct me if I'm wrong, you had also asked for a leader icon fairly recently as well, right? I'm not seeing that on here anymore. Do you no longer need that?

 

Yeah I didnt it was an accident with the loads of pictures I save .

 

Ok, good, so I'm not going insane, haha.

BTW, the colours there are very similar to the Nyasaland one, did you want one of them changed a bit, or no?
