GRAPHIC: New Wonder Screens with Info!

[Harlan]

I did just check out sn00py's version. One thing I really like about that version is that you can easily see through the writing area to see more of the picture. For che's next version, I was wondering if that style could be used, except cut out alot of the blank space so the height of the writing area is only about half of the size in sn00py's. That way you get the info you need, and also can maximize the viewability of the wonder pic itself.

By the way,
A lot of the images I've done so far look like CG, but actually aren't. They're paintings that have been scanned in. For instance, Statue of Zeus, Hanging Gardens, Labyrinth, etc. At some point it becomes hard to tell what's what - CG, really accurate painting, or real photograph?

sorry if this is a stupid question, but has there been an updated version of this mod? i downloaded it on 11/5/01.

[darkangel]

Yeah, I checked out SnOOpys filters, they are nice for a more artsy feel with the default. Funny thing - that was the first mod I did until I decided to make news ones. Then I saw che's mod and saw the info added and the rest is history - as they say.

[darkangel]

ElitePersian, no update yet. - sorry

Darkangel, when is the next update coming out?

[darkangel]

I'm not sure.

Our partner went to home to Italy for a few days and he did not want to set deadline for "free" work before he left. It's a cultural thing.......

He has all the files so I cannot finish the update for him.

I just want to say this is great, and I like what's been done very much indeed.

The two pictures in the game that bug me the most, and MUST be replaced are

*) Magellans Voyage (what in the name of whatever deity you happen to believe in where they thinking?)

*) Smith's Trading Company, but that's already been taken care of.

I would like to offer one bit of criticism - I think identifying the age is unnecessary - if you're in the age, don't you know what age you are in?

I would prefer to see that space hold the name of the wonder.

I think that you are right, we don't need to say the age, since you know what age you are in!!!

Hollywood

Maybe you guys can help me.
I am adding a new great wonder: "Hollywood."
I altered the civilopedia entry, but I don't know how to point it at this picture I have for it. It doesn't seem to be in the editor, or the hacked editor I am using. Maybe someone can help?

Incidentally, if Che could post the scroll pieces he used for the bottoms of his image, it would be cool, as I can use them to unify my game. What font did you use?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Good Job!

Thanks for doing this I really did hate always having to dig in the civilpedia to find out when it expires etc. Glad you guys are making this nice little mods. The little mods really improve the game! Thanks!

Been back from Italy from for about a week now..., and ready to go to sleep for the night :-)

Anyway...

couple of things:

1. Anyone can point me to the Snoopy mod that someone mentioned? I like his work, I'd like to see what he did.

2. Someone needs to come up with some sort of way to vote on the modified pictures. As much as I support freedom and would love to give everyone the opportunity to have their favorite picture as a wonder mod... I also tend to enjoy some free time so I'm not very keen on the idea of having to come up with multiple sets of pictures.

3. When the whole thing is finalized I will be happy to distribute a Photoshop action so anyone with PS 5.5 or PS 6.0 can make their own.

Civ on!

P.S. How's the Patch? I haven't downloaded yet for fear of breaking anything that works :-)

Sn00pys work can be found on his website www.civer.f2s.com. in compressed .rar files, but I think you can also find them in threads here in the Civ3-Filels section in .zip format.

An idea for circumnavigation, look at the attached file

Aloha and Banzai!

I'm back online and in a new home (with some massive bandwidth - yes I moved from Tokyo to Kawasaki simply because of bandwidth!)

Anway, regarding the comments about the era. I stand corrected on the idea. I offered it up as a way to be more complete with our work. So we will file it with the 2 & 3 dollar bills ideas.
