GRAPHIC: Civ 2 Style Railways

[soufie77]

Brilliant work!!!!!!!!!

I'll be trying it out tonight. Is it just a little too different to the original Civ3 graphics? Then again maybe that's just me.

[Skanky Burns]

I dont know, the straight railways seem perfectly natural to me...
Perhaps that because of the *hours* i spent editing them, encoding my brain with "Straight Rail Syndrome"

For those interested, im using DarkRail15 as my default railways

Mr. Burns

Could you please post the higway mod again I lost it on a reinstall
( or please direct me to where I can get it)

Thanks

I need to know something really bad. I've downloaded the file looking forward to seeing those old rails but i dont know where to unzip the to! i know somewhere in the Civ 3 folder but where excatly?

[Skanky Burns]

Bubba_B: My other railways, and some by other people can be found in
My Skanky Railways Thread

Kaiser Dragon: I put that in the readme inside the zip!! I guess that doesnt help too much before you have unzipped it though Anyway, unzip it to civ3/art/terrain and all will be well.
* Dont forget to backup your original railways.pcx file *

Hmm, I'm having recurrent problems downloading the raildark 15% mod. I can only seem to download about 128k until the connection breaks and the file is broken. It seems to be happening again and again at exactly the same file size.

Anyone having the same problems? If not could you repost the files? Perhaps to another forum such as in civfanatics?

[soufie77]

The original civ2rails file stops at 30K, raildark30% stops at 131K. All files should be 256k in size. Something has gone really screwy at apolyton.

Again, I'd be REALLY grateful if you would post them in a forum at civfanatics, or send them to me at soufie77@hotmail.com

soufie77: I just tested each of the 3 files here, they all appear to be working fine. Did you remember to unzip the file first??
Im guessing that the files were downloaded properly, as the file sizes you quoted are the actual zipped file sizes.

Regardless, ive sent an unzipped version of Raildark15 to the address you gave.

[Kaiser Dragon]

I seem to have the same problem as the people above except i get the whole thing but the Winzip identfys it as a "attachment" and wont break it down so i can extract to my Civ 3 Folder so can you plz send me a unzipped version to this e-mail? it is excalibur6869@hotmail.com. thxs bunchs

[NorthSwordsman]

Kaiser, I had the same problem. So what I decided to try doing is download the attachment, then rename it (and change the extension too) to raildark.zip. Winzip then recognized it after I changed the extension name. You can also try to right click on the file and select "save as" and see if it works that way. I would just rename the attachment with a .zip extension. Worked for me.

[soufie77]

Thanks for sending the file! Received it without any problems. Unfortunately, due to heavy workload, I won't be able to try it out until the weekend. Oh well.

[Chuckles]

...and there was much rejoicing...


Yaaaaaaay



Cool, I've been waiting for this one for a long time. Thanks for the good work!!

[Fintilgin]

Nifty. They look cool!

I wonder though, if you could do a `thin' version? Say, about half the width they are now. They're still too thick for my tastes... I like to see the terrain!

A thin version of the dark ones would be just about perfect for my tastes... I might have to try to fix `em myself...

Fintilgin, this version of the railways (or all 3 actually) are 4 pixels thick on the vertical/horizontal axis. Making it half as wide would mean that the railway was 2 pixels in width, with no gaps inbetween. Dont get me wrong, Ive tested a limited version it and it does look good.

Feel free to modify my version, Ill look forward to the results as they should look good

Continued Download problems

Can you have these files posted at CivFanatics site so we can all download them?
