This is just a small thread (until I die or they make something better) to discuss and share tools for graphic and eventually 3D work.
Graphics are located here:
C:\Program Files\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Assets
in a file called: Art0.FPK
They can be extracted with:
http://www.2kgames.com/civ4/support_ati.htm
The image format is in DDS and can be viewed with this:
http://developer.nvidia.com/object/windows_texture_viewer.html
The image can be converted with:
Photoshop plugin:
http://developer.nvidia.com/object/photoshop_dds_plugins.html
Or with:
http://eliteforce2.filefront.com/file/DDS_Converter;29412#Download
A program I have had some luck with and is based on the Nvidia converter as I understand it.
The image can be changed with:
Gimp (like photoshop but free, Remember to download the proper version for your OS)
http://www.gimp.org/
More to be added as they appear.
