Wonder Possibilities

[Immortal Wombat]

The wonder code now basically works. I still have to organise the files, and such, and correct some details with pillaging, but the base of it is there.

IW: It's been a long road, but nice to see it's almost done

[Immortal Wombat]

3 months I'd reckon another one at least before its done

So. Unless someone comes up with a wonder that:
a) Is really deserving of being in. (and I choose)
b) Really should be visible on the map (Globesat should not, for example)
c) Has a clear, good angle graphic available and doesn't need trawling for...
then the 38 [ok, now 40] that are currently in there are the final list.
(If anyone has a good pic of the Petronas Towers I'd be grateful.. )

Hey guys,
I don't have much time but just a brief heads-up to let you know I *might* have found a nice picture of the Petronas Towers (or KLCC, as they are called by the locals) for you. Birds-eye view picutures are pretty much impossible to find (but I should have some more time to look tomorrow so not all hope is lost yet) but I've found a post-card with a nice frontal view of the buildings. Unfortunately I can't scan this picture and put it online until I get home from my trip though (another week and a half or so), so you'll need to practice some patience. In the mean-time, here's another nice pic from one of our digital camera's. The only disadvantage of this is that it has a slight angle (more self-made pics might follow later, we've made well over a thousand already and are far from done so wading through time could take weeks):



Also, the KLCC website has a few nice pictures which you may want to check out: http://www.klcc.com.my/main.htm

Try this...

That's the bunny!! Thanks Locutus, and Dave; that bottom one is it. It does need shrinking a little more, but that's not a problem. That angle is perfect.

[Leonidas]

Yup, great pics - that bottom one is perfect. . .

IW? Do you have all the wonders in the til file?

Big Mc, Dont worry. Since we must finish the Wonders code and the city expansion first before going to the buildings. But i would like to see them, please.

[Immortal Wombat]

Pedrunn, yes, all in apart from the latest PetronasTowers, and the AI Entity. It has all the city expanson tiles in too.

Dave,
Woohaa, that looks great You even included the Suria KLCC Shopping Centre and some other random support buildings (Suria definitely should be there; not sure about those other buildings but they sure look nice)

There's only one minor point for possible improvement: the most striking feature of the KLCC Towers is without a doubt the skybridge with it's support legs. The latter ones are still missing in the pic, due to the poor quality of the photo they're hardly visible on the original but from almost every other angle they clearly stand out. So perhaps it might be an idea they to add them manually (just two 1-pixel wide diagonal lines would probably do the trick, on such a small scale the exact angle and location don't even matter much).

Other than that, the picture is perfect
