WANTED - A Futuristic era splash PCX pic

[FrostyBoy]

the way I see it, having loads of flying cars with no direct passages, would cause chaos, I think flying cars would be a smoother ride and the road below would probably be the thing you land on when you want to stop aswell as passage?


I'd love to have a real go at the Era Splash
the one I did above was just for fun

if Firaxis releases a good editor, one with things that allow us to manipulate almost anything, then I am all for doing as much artwork as needed.

damn its hot right now


about that Cinema 4D, you won't believe what happened... I talked to my uncle about needing help with lightwave,
and I get home today and see that he has left 2 VTC (teaching CDs) for Cinema 4D. so talk about co-incidence

[Gromit]

I couldn't resist trying it out so I converted it to work with the game. I hereby formally ask your permission to post it - with all credit where it's due of course.

[FrostyBoy]

yep

[Gromit]

Kewl!

You are truly the King, Sn00py!

I haven't yet played through the entire tech tree, so I don't know if there's a flourish at the end, but a graphic like this would be very appropriate at that point. Future techs could still continue afterwards.

Can this be done, or is this what you are talking about, Grommit?

[Gromit]

OK Courtesy of sn00py, here is the pic.

I think in order to see it, you have to change the lines at the bottom of the 'pediaicons' file to read:

'#ERA_SPLASH_ERA_3
art\erasplash\modern.pcx
art\erasplash\future.pcx'

Instead of:

'#ERA_SPLASH_ERA_3
art\erasplash\modern.pcx
art\erasplash\modern.pcx'

But don't quote me on that.

What I am hoping to do - eventually is:

Create an ADDITIONAL era.
This will mean creating at least (if the Modern era is used as a frame of reference):-

- 17 entirely new techs. (fusion power?)
- 11 new units.
- 8 city improvements.
- 5 Great and 2 small wonders
- Some new resources. - New city icons for the map.

[Gromit]

Also, I've finished the BASIC framework. Words and pictures still need to be added but I thought I'd post it so you can see what I mean.

Just in case anyone needs a splash screen that fits in with the others, feel free to use this one.

belching smokestacks

Should the belching smokestacks should be eliminated from the Future picture?

I have to admit, that picture wasn't so good, I drew another one today:



As you can see, it matches in with the others relativly well. Every era shows buildings develop and adds a new type of structure, (eg. industrial age factories) you may have also noticed that each era has exactly the same sky and river. In my future one, I have still kept the sky and river in the same format, I have changed the building structure and added a dome to the top of some buildings.

Please feel free to use it.
