Ummm... Maybe you should tell people there is a windows version
Is Freeciv just civ2 with a few new bits of code. I've seen screenshots and that's what it looked like to me.
And is the AI any better then civ2 I mean is it worth this poor old 28Kpbs modem spending the download time to get it?
Are the graphics easily modified.
And do you need help with graphics?Destruction is a lot easier than construction. The guy who operates a wrecking ball has a easier time than the architect who has to rebuild the house from the pieces.--- Immortal Wombat.

Freeciv is basically civ2, but with some things that civ 2 players have been wanting. Fx city build queues, simultaneous multiplayer and up to 30 players.
The freeciv rule and gfx files are much more fleksible than the civ 2 ones.
And the source is available, so you don't have to resort to hex editing like the poor sods in the civ 2 forum.
Gfx wanted: Nuclear explosion for the isometric view. People faces (the ones at the top of the city window). Maybe a better isometric fallout icon?

If you want a nuke video I've just made one from a .blend file I had handy.
Some frames for you... 5th 10th 15th 20th 25th and 30th:
The video's only 30 frames long (if you want more just say I just shortened it because I thought that's probably the best. The res. is 100 * 80 again different sizes are easy to set-up just say what you want.Destruction is a lot easier than construction.

Whee - cool nuke animation. I will just implement that and then decide if I want more frames.
Did you create the nuke animation yourself? We can't use graphics we do not own the copyright for.
See http://www.freeciv.org/windows/ for the windows version. It has only the latest stable version, which is rather old.http://www.hardware-wiki.com - A wiki about computers, with focus on Linux support.

I didn't make it myself but there is no copywright for it. I changed bits of it around the way some of the objects acted and added some of the particles myself, I also changed the camera position and the backround.
The video is zipped and I attached it here.Attached FilesDestruction is a lot easier than construction. The guy who operates a wrecking ball has a easier time than the architect who has to rebuild the house from the pieces.--- Immortal Wombat.

Wow I got the game going (eventually) and it's great. I looked through the image files and I found one named small.png and it has all the people and stuff in it. I got this from the misc folder. I changed some stuff the explosions and some of the people. I saved it and was wondering is that all I need to do to change the graphics or was it in the wrong folder?? I found the same files in other folders that looked like scenario folders like engel etc.
And upgrade the windows version I want isometric and that's not in this version but sigh I'll liveDestruction is a lot easier than construction. The guy who operates a wrecking ball has a easier time than the architect who has to rebuild the house from the pieces.--- Immortal Wombat.

I know the author and I read his post when he posted this on blendermania so...
If you feel that strongly about it I could do one up myself just it mightn't be as good he obviously put in a lot of time into it and I don't have that much time myself I'm working as a graphics designer for a new game too.Destruction is a lot easier than construction.
