Warhammer FB Mod

[Ploeperpengel]

@Duke
Dl your assets3. Did you base it on my post in 700, cause that also affected the objectinfo? I renamed some Leaders in there and was planning to rename the babarians to something like chaosspawn or -followers. So we two should make sure not to produce doubles.

About the Wonders I think yes indeed we should search the civ3 version for generic names. I also like the idea of unique wonders implemented there I'd like it in civ4 too. So that the pyramid of Nagash will only be buildable by Khemri i.e.

You got the civ3 Duke so it seems so could you check this further for the wonders. I really think they made a great job for that part there and I don't have any problem with seeing our mod as in tradition of that one. Also since we lack a Designer with enough background knowledge right now.

@Olleus
I found alot of my old gameequipment so I might come up with more ideas about spells and magic items which will need coding soon. Unfortunatly I gave away all stuff related to "good" races years ago for I was playing orcs and planning on undead only. stupid me!


I will try to find more pics today. Later I'll set up a list what's still missing.

 

[Ploeperpengel]

there is tons of art on dungeons and dragons homepage i think i would be able to find something well suited if you'd like me too

Could you post a link? There are many sites related to that but not all contain good art, thx.

Edit: think I found it. A lot of comicart but very few high quality pics I could use. thx anyway

Neverwintervault is pillaged. A couple of hits I made. They have lots of high quality stuff. mostly female, unfortunatly I need male pics.

So any more links to pillage? Really help that would.

Well yes, theres a lot of crap but i really like some of the art from their official homepage.

I made you a little mix of some of the pictures that i personaly found fitting after some searching around.

Archaon: Well he lacks the horse and some of the colors but the general picture is quiet much the same as the miniature...

Gilles: i could not find any models of him, so i just found a couple of pictures looking a bit "brittonish"

Takagura: was actually thinking about an old sage kind'a thing, but couldn't find a proper one
http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f37/bard2000/Takagura.jpg

Thorgrim: ok no throne, but i thought they where quite ok anyways

Wu: One of my personal favorites, and much in line with the art that sez made for the cathay empire

[Ploeperpengel]

I will consider the Archaon and think I'll take Wu after polishing him up a bit. for the rest I think I have better already or planned them differently. I really don't like comicstyle and will only include that if I have no better.

@Agent009

Here's the unitinfo of the reduxe.

 

[Rabbit, White]

Tue2000, these are some awesome finds you have there. And Ploep these pics are very good, though if you gonna use the Morathi one, you might have to attach a Teen rating to the mod.

Hehe ok will do. Teens should pick flowers in the fields not make war anyway

Thorgrimm

I'm leaning towards the last one. What do you guys think?

Aenarion

 

[Sisonpyh]

Great pics ploep.

But there is a definite lack of Grimgor.

What won't be a Leaderhead will very likly end up as Herounit in the Gamedesign. But we'll think about it.
I'd have a good pic for him and since I can't find anything good Grimgor would indeed be an alternative.
Maybe we should make Goblins a different civ altogether since the greenskins have such a large variety in coreunits that would do good for two civs UUs, maybe with some overlaps.

 

[Duke van Frost]

Some input:

first, yes Ploe, I based all my work on your latest upload (post #700).

I got the art ready for the "beer" - did somebody have a look at the problem that bugmans only gives one of this?

Got some other buttonarts (wonders and buildings) and reskins ready.

I´ll post the gfx I got tomorrow.



Now for the leaderheads:

Ariel is good (cut down to upper body and face, this goes for all)

Akabar is ok

Jaffar is ok (cut down...)

Haargroth, the second pic

Jose Paul is good

Finubar is good

Lucan (cut...)

Vlaad (maybe just a little cutting)

Morathi

Nagashi: I don´t like this one

Gilles: the first pic

Wu: to much comic-style

Azhag: for now it´s ok, but we need some real WH Orc (more bulky)

Settra (cut the sky)

Malekith, Orion: without words - perfect (but cut Malekith)

Louen (cut)

Thorgrimm: the last one

Aenarion: very good pic but the quality seems to bad (maxbe Photoshop can help - if you posted the original then I´ll give it a try, if you don´t mind, same goes for Settra.

 

[Ploeperpengel]

Didn't look at the beer problem yet but I'm not that advanced in xml. Maybe you direct that question to agent009 or ask about in the maincreation.

About the cutting
I already cut a few of them but some will give bad quality like Aenarion i.e. and probably settra too if he's zoomed in further cause the source is to small unfortunatly. If you can polish up some of them would be cool though. The ones which have 512x512 are like I have them in game now. The others are sourcepics.

Yes Nagash isn't really himself. Maybe we leave him as LH and make him a god for the undead

If we take the second Haargroth he needs a cool background. That would be awesome if you can manage. Along with Aenarion and Settra. For the rest wait a bit until I set up a new artupload. You can maybe pimp them up afterwards.
Wu can maybe be polished up but I too would prefer a better pic.

Maybe you could just have a look at your vanilla cIV. See if Hollywood, Rock´n Roll and Broadway give the 5 resources as they are supposed?

One question for the pics: which size (pixel by pixel) are they supposed to be used ingame? Would be nice If all could have the same size. I´ll download all of the pics I liked most and give 'em a finishing touch (even WU).

EDIT: I´ll also do buttons for them.

Cool thx. The size for LHs is 512x512 with white alphachannel. Buttons as ever.

Isn't your vanilla Hollywood working either?

OK, I´ll do them, have a look at the vanilla heads first (I think they aren´t square)

Have a look what I found:

EDIT: File removed, have a look some posts down @ Mazdamundi!


And my vanilla Hollywood also gives onlyone resource (that´s at least what the pedia says)!

 

[Ploeperpengel]

The pedia says 6 ressources

the pic above I have in for mazdamundi just forgot to post it here.

D'oh!

Then I´ll have to reinstall cIV as it seems!

 

[woodelf]

I've been helping Ploep clean up the Diplomacy XML files and now I need some help from you guys who know about the WH universe. From the Leaders listed on page 1 (right now Cathay, Nippon, and India use vanilla leaders so nothing needed yet) I need diplomacy for the following statements:

Declare War
First Contact
Refuse to Speak
No Peace
Greetings Friendly
Greetings Furious
Demand Tribute Weaker/Equal/Stronger
Accept Offer
Thanks

There will be more diplo options eventually, but I felt these covered the major ones. Any other immediate needs that you know of please let me know.

To help out please write down the Leader and type of statement. Keep it in character and I'll enter it into the Text file to be used in the mod. Right now the sheet is blank so fire away.

 

[Rabbit, White]

Just wanted to do something different with Photoshop so I re-did the second Haargroth pic to have a background and proper size. Not sure if that's what you had in mind Ploep but here it is.



Hope you like it. If you're gonna use it, the background image was made by Roberto Campus.

 

[Civmansam]

Don't want to seem like I'm not doing anything but what exactly should I do?
