Cool sprit is there any limit to the size you can make them.

I knew you could make some pretty big spirits like the explosion on the eco ranger did not know how to do it like

Technically, no-one has ever found one. I suppose the map size... However the way it displays the sprite seems to limit it to somewhere about 150*150 maybe 200, but that would need to be checked out.

Well I am thinking of making a mega city called the jump gate accelerate around nine tiles big with a big city on one side

good luck...

Still not back from the weekend (I travel a total of 22h by bus every weekend to be far from the PC but close to relatives and girlfriend).
Still i couldnt spend so much time far from apolyton so here i am

I was afaid of that. I created a huge bitmap hoping that it didnt matter.
Since the units size i did was based on some units bitmaps i have.
The best would be to do the graphic again (shrinking and fixing the anomalies that may appear in the process) with smaller size aiming and basing at the CTP1 Wormhole sprite size.

If it does not solve it we may try more complex solutions.

[The Big Mc]

What did the ctp1 wormhole graphic look like I never had ctp 1 saying that did not even have my own PC back then. Today you can not find it for love or money.

As most fans of ctp will be impressed the first game I ran out and got was Ctp2 It’s been worth the money I paid


Wombat what did you use to make your graphics I tried to use Max cinema 4d the same one has law but just cant seam to get on with it.

[Immortal Wombat]

For graphics I use Paint Shop Pro. I too couldn't get on with Maxon 4D. But then the demo didn't have human forms in it, so maybe with a bit of practise at it I could have figured it out.

The only unit sprites I have made have been graphics hacked from other games, mostly AoK.

[The Big Mc]

I got humans up its not in the main demo but in one of the folders

[The Big Mc]

Well I am going away for a few weeks . college is out for the holidays and I can’t get online but I will try.

In that time I am

Making a better mod of gaia for my self

And possibly an updated for the forum so you need twice the power satellites but the obelisks cover twice the area.

And a mod (your own gaia document (MYOG))or ((Miy)mod it yourself)

finishing my buildings and units

making my tec tree with a publisher document so you can print it out and you got a copy like the one you get with ctp2.

Then I am with sprit making for a few weeks I will get the hang of it sooner or later.

Any thing you want me to do

Just ..........

I feel such a jerk . I said i had my first visual and i did not even showed a bit.
Here it is the civ unique units
In the horizontal from left to right you see the Humans, Thri kreens, Borgs and Emphats.
In the vertical you see from top to bottom: Fighter, Bomber, Destroyer, Carrier and Settler.

PS: IW, As you can see the human fighter and bomber is much bigger than their other civs counterparts (they are even bigger than the Human Destroyer). Decrease their size would be nice. you said in another post that there is a command to change the sprite size.
They are both law`s units i send you. So, if you havent then already oyu attached them some post above .

[Pedrunn]

IW
I reduced the Solar system bitmap to 200x150.
I hope it work now

[Pedrunn]

Here are the biggest city sprite so that you can have an idea on how it will look like.
Again from left to right: Human, Thri Kreen, Borg and Emphat

The ones below are the first ones ship (green) and the libertor (blue)

[Immortal Wombat]

Looking nice Pedrunn Are there new sprites in there too?

I'll try doing the solar system again, and reducing the human ships too.

[Locutus]

Looking VERY cool, Pedrunn I can't wait to see this stuff in acion
