MOD: The BALANCER

[Elucidus]

That's odd, I found with other images for the Wonder Spalsh that higher than 8-bit (I believe it was 32-bit) worked fine as long as it was 320x320 pixels. Which the file I gave you was not. I could try and work on that. Give me a minute.

[Cian McGuire]

Yeah, let me know your findings and we can procede from there...

[Elucidus]

Monkspider,

Try redownloading the statue mod and let me know if that works better.

[monkspider]

Okay, most of your changes, save the wonder splash are in the "offical version" now Eluc, also I have created a few civlopedia icons for dino park , feel free to integrate them into any projects of your own. (that goes for you too cian)

[Elucidus]

I cropped the old wonder splash to fit into 320x320. Let me know if it works, if not, I'll try to palletize it as well.

hey Eluc, the new file still doesn't seem to work
I've palettized it for you, which still looks a lot better then the pcx file I currently have.
There may be a way to use better than 256 color files, but I have yet to find it in this current version of Civ 3.
I want to reiterate, I *REALLY* appreciate your hardwork, it certainly makes things easier for me.
Also...

Sorry about that. I got one slightly better if you could just update a little.


Ooops. Forgot I could update the old attachment. See above for the file, this attachment was removed.

[Elucidus]

Here's what it looks like, 256 color.

[monkspider]

hey eluc, another set back! I tried to download your recent file and it says "invalid attachment!"

[Elucidus]

My fault. I forgot I could update the old one, so I removed the new one, probably about the same time you tried to download it. Try the old one again. Sorry about that.

[monkspider]

Hey Luc, sorry to constantly be the bringer of bad news
But I redownloaded the file, and the pcx wondersplash image seemed to be registered as "true color" when I right-clicked it.
Sorry

[Elucidus]

Interesting. Let me look into that. Maybe because it is an optimized 256 color pallet. I don't know. Did you try it in-game?

[Elucidus]

what size is the one you have? The true color was almost 300K the 8-bit is 82.5K.

[monkspider]

The one I have is the 300 k one, perhaps it didn't get uploaded correctly?

[Elucidus]

Wow, I hate to have caused so many probs, buddy. Try it now.
