Title: Chariot's Alternate Civ Graphics Sets (modding resource)
Post by: Chariot on June 13, 2009, 03:22:14 am

I've been working on remaking and expanding my alternate civs graphics sets, as well as making a full set. I figure I'll upload the alternates as i go in case people want to use them.

Note: None of these add a new civ to the game. They are merely graphics in case somebody else has added or plans to add them to the game and wants graphics to go with.

Dwarves:

Sweet. I've been wanting to try orc-related mods, but I'm too addicted to graphics to do without them for a new civ. Any chance of a drider (spider/man hybrid) civ set?

Edit: Might be spider/elf, I'm not sure. I'm referring to Dark Outcasts from (I think) the modbase.

Finished and added halflings, antmen, and centaurs.

I put driders in the possible to-do list, but considering their complexity and only having 16x16 pixels to work with, i likely wont get to them

Finally! I've been waiting for an Orcs tileset. I use May Greens DF and i'm getting annoyed with the Orcs. They are Walls, just different colours for their different jobs.

How do I put this to work? And will it work on top of May Greens tileset?

Finished trolls and added them to the first post.

bloodshedder, hobbits are already up there in the first post.

loopoo, ive never used any graphics sets other than DR's and my own, so im not sure how compatable they will be. to get it to work, assuming you have graphics set to on and 16x16:

Stick the orc.txt file in your Graphics folder, and stick the orcs.png file in a folder called Civ in your Graphics folder. If your orc species isnt actualy named orcs, you will have to change this line to match yours: [CREATURE_GRAPHICS:ORC]

CHARIOT! I LOVE IT! Damn you, I love it. Just, when they die, they respawn back to O's, or in my case, different coloured walls. Why does that happen? They don't stay the same when dead, kinda ruins the moment haha.

Also, I love it, but could you change the Orcs a bit? They're pretty tiny, i'd expect them to be bulkier, and the Hammer Orcs (Crushers?) have Yellow Hammers? Anyway, other than that, they work amazingly well.

its normal for dead creatures to turn back into their letter, like how dwarves turn back into a little smily head, or kobolds turn into k's. unfortunately its part of the game.

for most of the graphics the standard soldiers have copper-colored weapons, while the elites have iron/steel, to help differentiate them.

the orcs are already larger and bulkier than the goblin and human graphics. making them any bulkier would make them appear troll-sized

Added cyclops and giants to first post.

Also changed drow to use metal tools, weapons, and armor instead of wood.

For an Arcanum mod I'm developing, would you mind whipping up some Industrial Gnomes (think small, well dressed humanlike creatures in Victorian-era suits, with Ferengi like features) and Industrial Humans (basically, Victorian era humans with more "classic plate" style armor and classic British policeman style uniforms)?

Only have top hats for some of them, maybe about a third. And have some of the gnomes wearing plain red or plain green, preferably the lower ranking ones. Some of the nobles could sport monocles and these really tall hats/neck things you see on the New Yorker.

very very useful and heavenly basic looking, where in this case thats still impressive detail as some ppl have no grasp of bit based graphics.

can't wait for the werewolves, but i'll snatch up some of the reptiles =p

the arthor of these graphics already said that the custom civilizations need to me made personally.  as for the mayday i'd suggest making a new GRAPHICS_<name>.txt file then copy from the .txt files from here and paste to the new file. copy mayday's first then use that one as like a template of place holder but be careful if you want to use both i'd had to edit (picture based copy pasting through an image edit tool) to not have any overwriting or keep which ones i wanted to use.

example:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
image is example if image based copy-paste mixing the two. both actually used same reference so i just "kept" chariot's image file and replaced (covered up if referring to the edit process) the thief classes with mayday's.
the code text is example of using a bigger single file then linking proper image and directories. key point is where it says [FILE: <location> ] then everything will be good.

of course always backup but in the case of the text files, just move them out of the raw/graphics folder while keeping the new single .txt file.

oh sorry for the miss-read, but then it depends on your definition of working. mayday's tiles works just fine from what i've seen. i didn't edit the default ini settings from downloading mayday's package which the maydayMIX.png is the actual tiles.

edit: on the mentioning of looks...thats bound to happen as this graphic/tile set, maydays, and the civ forge are all completely different in looks. if you keep one and edit as little as possible away from it then you'll get mostly that one for most of your looks.  btw this mod only adds to a civ so there shouldn't be much contrast. i didn't notice any between the lizardmen or kobolds with mayday tiles+graphic.

FYI I've put together a medium sized mod  (http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=43453.0)that adds a lot of races you have here (frogmen, lizardmen, ogres, treants, gnomes and giants).  Was planning to put a graphics version together using the fine work you have here, hope that's ok!

I'm using this tile-set right now with the latest version.

You, uh, might wanna check the dates on how long ago the last post here was :P

In any case though, there shouldn't be any reason why the graphics themselves shouldn't work - considering it's mostly just a matter of art, and not anything code related.
