MP: Choosing Civ Colors

[Dave_Shack]

Here are some links to programs which can handle RAR files. I have not tested any of them yet so can't offer advice on which one you might want to use.

7-Zip
ExtractNow
WinRAR (trial version)

[Dave_Shack]

The save for the bintravkin version won't load because it is looking for the mod in the wrong location. It's looking in C:\Documents and Settings\Joe\My Documents\My Games\Sid Meier's Civilizatio 4\Mods\BintravColors\ -- notice user name. I think for it to work correctly for everyone you'll need to put the mod into the C:\Program Files\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Mods directory and rebuild the save file, then re-RAR it.

So here's the latest RGB list of colors:

No	Team		Color		R	G	B
------------------------------------------------------------
1	Mercs		Black		0	0	0
2	GS		Dark Blue	0	0	128
3	Vox		Dark Red	128	0	0
4	Horde		Bright Red	255	0	0
5	Banana		Yellow		255	255	0
6	Sarantium	Teal Blue	0	144	144
7	AC		Pure Blue	0	0	255
------------------------------------------------------------

And below is the pic.
The extra colors added to the right are:

Vox:
- Russian Green - 0, 128, 0

Sarantium:
- Light Blue - 0, 192, 255
- Halfway-green-blue - 0, 128, 255
- Roman Purple - 128, 0, 128

Sarantium is the only team left not yet made up their mind.

NYE, what was your comment about switching colors between China and Mali?
It appears to me that in the screenies of snoopy369 colors are correct.
I suppose they were incorrect at first..?

I disagree about switching. Current color is closer to Hive's color we are aiming for.

[binTravkin]

Well, as I said probably snoop369 got it wrong in the screenies at first.
As AC team has stated our color is pure blue (0,0,255), while GS wanted dark blue (which is now represented as 0,0,128).


There's also a proposal to use enlarged team icons as flags.
I suppose it's possible (is it, Snoop?) and shouldn't be a problem as long as teams can provide an enlarged icon of good quality.
An example for mods can be seen in AC Team private forum.

Look, as Snoop posted, teams that got assigned civs last get to pick colours first. merc was last, they picked black. GS was second to last, so we pick next. That blue is Stormian blue, our colour from the last game, and that is the colour that GS wishes to play with.

So GS wants that coour blue. Suck it up, or we could start all over agin and AC could end up with a civ that did not want to play with.

[PJayTycy]

for krill (sorry bt)

[binTravkin]

Heh, well next time say blue when you mean 0,0,255 then.
The blue on your icon is certainly not dark either.

[Golden Bear]

Krill has it correct. They have first choice of blue and we accept that we need their acceptance of our choice of a modified teal-blue since we are second to last on the list.

BTW, ANY of the proposed teals in this thread are acceptable to me and thus to Sarantium. Don't delay the start any more over our choice, please.

As I stated earlier, I've already done that as an example for Vox, look at the screenshot. I'll happily do that for anyone, or else you can do it for yourself. Any of the following will work for me:

• Your CivGroup Icon, though it'll be a bit pixelly on the large flag
• A 128x128 BMP file, or any other normal format (flag)
• A 64x64 BMP file, or any other normal format ('button')
• 128x128 and 64x64 DDS dxt3 textures (go here to see how to make them)

Or any picture that you don't mind me playing with

[snoopy369]

Okay, uploaded a new mod/savegame.

also, some pics. I used orange for AC temporarily so that GS can have blue, AC will later tell me what color(s) they want to test.

Unit example:

Now updated to fit in your /program files/firaxis/smc4/mods/ folder ... so it works for you

[proviisori]

I will make the flag for Sarantium today.
How should I send it to you, Snoopy? Do I post it on this thread?

Your AC flag is okay Snoop, let's use it.
Also it's likely that orange will be our color in the end.

[UnOrthOdOx]

The AC flag ROCKS!

'course so will ours shortly...
