NonUnit Graphics Showcase

[Eivind IV]

Nice graphics, everyone!

Does anyone have some quality desert graphics? Cities, terrain, everything...I've been secretly working on a ww2 Africa campaign scenario...

[Arthedain]

Pablo made some cities and I know someone made some tanks etc. Fairline or Case I guess (or maybe bot?).

[Caesar the Glutton]

wow, you guys are good! I've been playing Civ2 for years, but just recently started trying to edit units, cities, etc. someone in the Civ2 General section suggested I check out the scenario section, and I'm glad I did. Looks like everyone has put a lot of effort into their work.

Thanks!

Welcome Caesar!

Feel free to DL as many mod-packs and scenarios as you can, a wonderful world awaits you!

[curtsibling]

Uber-cool cities, Smiley!

[curtsibling]

Sir Smiley, I would love to see those cities in Isometric-mode!

*dreaming*

[Varwnos]

You can probably see them, in Japan!

(edit: i wrote that before i saw that indeed they were modelled after parts of Tokyo, well it makes sense..)

here is my terrain for ancient ruin

[Caesar the Glutton]

help!

I've been playing around with editing units, cities, etc. for the past couple of days...everything was peachy until this...now my units and cities have a grey bowtie shaped thingy around them...it looks like the triangle shape from the units.gif file. Any idea what I did to cause this?

[:) Smiley]

That's because on cities.gif one of the default background colors is the same RGB value as one of the other colors. I would suggest changing it to dark purple and filling in those gray areas like in units.gif. What gfx prog do you use?

[Catfish]

Yes, Smiley's right. Indices 16 (visible) and 255 (transparent mask) in the Civ2 Cities palette have identical RGB values (#878787). Programs like Paint Shop Pro can't differentiate between the two and swap 255 for 16, thus the grey becomes visible in the game. Use a colour replacer tool (if you've got one in your editor) to change the grey background to magenta (#FF00FF) – Civ2's standard transparent mask. Don't change it to purple – the transparent purple mask (#875387), normally index 255 in the Units palette - isn't found in the Cities palette.

When you've finished with the colour replacer, check your city icons for magenta "holes", in case there were any grey (#878787) areas that were meant to be visible. This last mistake is very common.

[:) Smiley]

I simply use Edit Palette in paintshop pro to change it to the dark purple.

[Catfish]

He's already pasted the grey sections into the file and therefore PSP's already swapped indices. Swapping grey (#878787) for purple (#875387) for index 255 via Edit Palette is certainly the best way when you're starting with a fresh file - that'll permanently remove this problem. In this case, I'd just select the offending area and use colour replacer.

I was wondering if anyone could do the buildings in This Zip File for my XWW2 scenario?

[Harry Tuttle]

Does anyone have any idea to whom these belong to? I have had these in a folder for a while now and I don't recall where they came from. They look vaguely like Stefan Hartel's style. Anyone know? And if you do, where can I get more like them?

[Palaiologos]

I bet these were made by Heresson.

Aren't they great?
