Java, the HD image is cool! Regarding doing a search, search for the topic name and not the image specks.

k, why don't we edit che's mod, and put out the later version of it!!! We will find lots of photos for each of the wonders!!!

Che and I have already decided to work together. If you want to become involved, you should join us as well. We use ICQ as our communications implement.

On an organizational note, we could call ourselves the “Wonder Team” to not confuse the community about the products and updates. I prefer this instead of modifying a individuals release.

Attached is a sample of what I have in mind for a revision layout when all replacement images are acquired. The reasoning is simple if our primary goal is redoing them for information purposes rather than image taste then we should include the epoch as well.

Ideas or questions?

Nice work on the info-bit on wonders, che palle!

And yes, many of those wonder-pics are really
boring! Liked civ2 better there...
Nice to see so much dedicated civers here,
eager to finalize what was gonna be 'ultimate civ'!
So keep up the search for new pics, dark, java,
and all u guys!

Duly impressed

The efforts here are terrific. A very good idea and despite any inaccuracies, I am pleased to see this energy being into this game and then shared for everyone.

Jayis, your in DC can you get us a great shoot of the pentagon and the National Catedral - maybe from some tourist mags?

Oh yeah, for other wonders, some of the Smithsonian books got killer shoots of many displays as well!

[java4me]

Sure, I will join in with the "Wonder Team"!!!

BTW, I am still looking for more dam shots, but that one is the best one so far!!! Is there a way to get rid of the white numbers on the bottom left side of the photos?

Also, I like the idea of using the WTC for the trading center.

And...I use MSN IM, but if you guys ICQ, then I can see what I can do!!!

Here is one photo of the UN:

Here is one of the pentagon:

Here is another Hoover Dam shot....

The previous one was better, let me find a shot of it without the numbers at the bottom!!!

[java4me]

Here is another of that nice dramatic picture of the Hoover Dam...A little bit bigger though!!!

[java4me]

Here is a very very dramatic picture of the pyramids, the only thing is that it is too wide!!!

I have a great photo when I went to Egypt, but that is in regular film, so I can't upload it on the computer!!!

[java4me]

I am still looking for more photos...I think I have some great nuclear explosions that might be interesting!!!

If you guys think some are to big or to blury, just tell me, I will find another size for that photo!!!

Oh, I also have some dramatic photos from below the Hoover dam, on the river looking up at it, but that is in regular film also. I will also be finding shots that are either morning or evening, because those are much more dramatic!!!

BTW, there was no 320 x 320 photos, only ones that were somewhat close to that size!!!

[darkangel]

Java, the new Hoover Dam and Pyramids images both rock. I vote we use them!

Regarding the image size, as long as the dimensions are the same we can use just about any size larger than 320x320. For example if the images size it 1024 x 1024, it is useable.

In addition, if the dimensions are rectangle as long as the area we want to use is square and it is large enough it is also sufficient.

By the way, welcome to the wonder team!

Here is something I found for battlefield medicine. I slightly modified it to be square.
