Sprites for CD's mod?

[chance]

I've been using CD's 4.2 mod (I think) and was hoping to load up some of the sprites before I started my next game. Does anybody know where to get them?

Well, there aren't any yet released as a "pack" for the mod - CD decided to concentrate on getting the gameplay right and left the graphics to the rest of us.

Check out the modification section here for the satellite & helicopter sprites - I can vouch for those, they're very good. They need a bit of tweaking to work with 4.2 though as they were designed for 4.0. There's a thread on the "General" forum which explains how to get them working.

Ahem. Anyone got a catapult then?

Also, does anybody have a Horse Archer?

Catapult, HorseArcher and Longbowman will be ready soon... unanimated... within a week. Animated versions to follow.

Speak of the devil,

I just finished a Catapult and a Horse Archer. You get the five views of each unit, and the graphical look is heavily influenced by Age of Empires artwork (cough cough). DOGFISH has kindly gotten the images for me, and I converted them into CTP form. I am sending them off to Mark now.

The Longbow and others will probably have to wait a bit though as I'm gonna be gone for a week starting tomorrow (though I can still check these boards remotely). What would be really nice is if someone could fully integrate these into the game. Give them sounds, fix the picture for the Great Library, the unit picture showing at the bottom and so forth.

If people could only take screenshots of games they've got (as DOGFISH has kindly done), I could make more artwork.

Thanks Harlan and Dogfish,

I look forward to seeing your Sprites, both animated and unanimated. I have already incorporated the Cruise Missile, Spy Satellite, Missile Cruiser, and Helecopter into my version of CD's Mod. I look forward to doing the same for the Horse Archer and Catapult.

P.S. If anyone want to see my changes, which include those listed above as well as some to personal taste, let me know. I will e-mail it to you.

I just received a mail from Pintello saying he won't have time to work on this for the next couple of weeks so I offered to finish his mod. I have sprites for all units except the Noble. Has anyone made a Noble sprite or working on one? If not I will try to make one myself by changing the colors of the diplomat.

Un update on how it's going with the graphics for CD's mod: I am almost finished with it, I am expecting a new animated version of the catapult and horse archer probably this weekend. After that I will mail it to MarkG so he can put it on Apolyton.

Unfortunately the graphics for CD's mod were not finished this weekend. Dogfish was going to make me an animated horse archer, but there were some errors in the sprite script. Thanks to the poor documentation of the sprite tool and its not very helpful error messages it took a lot of time to get it right. The sprite is now working, and I am waiting for Dogfish to mail me the avi and sound files he was going to make for the horse archer. When I get those I have to do some testing to make sure everything works in the game and then I will mail it to Dan and ask him to put it on Apolyton's CTP download section.
