Wonder Graphics: Ziggurat

[Porphyrogenitos]

Yes, it's a model but it suits Civ purposes quite well. It is preferrable to art works anyway and the model does look like the building Ukas made. I will try to find another one though if you prefer.

I'm using this at the moment:

Lady with a ziggurathat!

 

[Porphyrogenitos]

The Ziggurat Ukas made is actually the one from Ur not Babylon. The Marduk Ziggurat in Babylon did have a blue upper temple/sanctuary but the base and other levels differed from the one at Ur (Ukas' model).

Here is a pic of the Ur one:

And here's a pic of the Babylon one:

 

[Ukas]

You're right Porphyrogenitos, I made earlier version of one in Ur, and changed colors for the second version. So there may not have been similar ziggurat with right structure and colors.

 

[Porphyrogenitos]

It is a great building in any case and the detail is unimportant. I was just referring to a post further above which claimed your building was the Babylon one.

No direspect meant to master builder Ukas:worshp:

PS. Love your wonder splash for the building

 

[Ukas]

Oh no, I wasn't being touchy or anything, just confirmed your post. I've got a flu and nothing to do, you see.

About splashes, it's true I haven't taken them that seriously for some time. I figured I don't want no arguments with site owners about copyright issues, so what I usually do is find some photo hastily and then hit it with a bunch of photoshop effects. I think it's good for all of us if you guys come up with new splashes.

Uhm, I think that here there are more splash...

However, this is my one!

... So first d/l and response . Between Ukas' building graphics and RTF's Splashes, I feel like I've been very blessed with, uh, well, um, Wonders.

-- Hmm ... Gotta run ... Must race over to The Silk Road!

Thanks!

Ukas makes, Rufus splashes and Oz inspires and downloads: we are the envy of roman Triumviratum!

Are these buildings used in only scenarios built with them in mind to be used or can you use them in the main game.

 

[Ankka]

AFAIK you can use them in the main game, but you will have to mod the civ3mod.bic/x/q.

 

[Catfish-T]

Thanks a lot, I have conquest will this make a difference

 

[Ozymandias]

To use these buildings, you must cut and paste the graphics into an available slot in:

C:\Program Files\Infogrames Interactive\Civilization III\Art\City Screen\buildings-large.pcx & \buildings-small.pcx

for vanilla Civ 3. For mods / scenarios / conquests, those files will be in the corresponding directories.

Likewise, Wonder Splashes need to go in:

C:\Program Files\Infogrames Interactive\Civilization III\Art\Wonder Splash

for vanilla Civ 3. Once again, for mods / scenarios / conquests, those files will be in the corresponding directories.

Also note that you'll need to add the building in the editor in the "Improvements and Wonders" tab ; the tag "BLDG_buildingname" will be used for your civilopedia.txt and pediaicons.txt entries (search for "BLDG" in these and you'll see how they should look ...)

... BETTER YET, dig through the Reference sub-forum and find Ukas' tutorial on adding buildings It's easier to follow than the "short-hand" I've used.

Happy Holidays,

Oz

Sorry I clicked twice or something. Arrg

 

[Ukas]

Heh, this building brings memories from year ago...
