	ELVIS 2.1 - updated Nov 6 Browse Apolyton AD-FREE

The Actual FILE is further down the thread in a post titled ELVIS 2.1 files

This is just a repackaging of Elvis 2.0 as a complete modpack, rather than an upgrade.

Several users had found that they were missing one of the two files in the 2.0 version.

If you have elvis as the advisor, but the little button to call up the advisors doesn't have elvis, I would highly reccomend you install this later version.

Also if your elvis doesn't get fatter with time progression, you're not running the 2.x version.


------------------------------------
CHANGES SINCE 1.0
------------------------------------

These were pretty much all requests.

1. Ancient elvis has rhynestones on his robe
2. Angry elvis is completely changed (had too big a head, and didn't look at all like Elvis (though it was from a photo capture... go figure... Elvis didn't look like Elvis)
3. Elvis gets progressively fatter with time, his hair grows too.
4. Modern Elvis gets signature eyeglasses

Some notes... Elvis doesn't get fatter in the same way real elvis did. I dunno actually, but he looks just as young. Making him older AND fatter would have been much more of an undertaking than I wanted to... making him fatter was hard enough ... unfortunatelly I couldn't use Powergoo or some other automated feature so I actually had to paint him get fatter... nothing I look forward to repeating .

I hope you like the changes!

Don't expect updates, other than bug fixes if any bugs arise, as my Girlfriend will dump me and I won't get to play civ anymore!!!!!

I also doubt if I will be changing any other advisors in the short term... I'm kind of convinced Sid deserves to be the Science advisor and as for the others, I personally had no specific allegiance to any of them. If someone wants to undertake one of those projects I will be more than happy to assist in any way.

I would welcome the moderators to place the file on their server, in case mine ever goes bust.

here is elvis sad ancient and industrial, you should notice the clothes change, he's fatter and his hair is longer.

Got it!

Sorry, though... I'm new to posting on these forums and (believe it or not) I had no idea you could edit your own posts

Thanks for the heads up!

Remarkable work, Che Palle! Do you use 3dStudio Max, or...?
Although it seems to be some weird white edges around modern Elvis's glasses.
If you fixed that it would be really hard to distinguish your art from Firaxis's.

Here is the complete package, which includes both PCX necessary. If you had Elvis 1.0 and upgraded to 2.0 you won't need this. Those who just installed 2.0 are missing part of the mod.

3dSutioMax.... I wish!

Photoshop... that's why I may have mentioned it was a sublime pain in the rear to do

If you're referring to the white edges around the glasses that you can see in the post I made here, then that was supposed to be the ridiculously shiny glasses that I've seen some elvis impersonators wear

I could change that, of course. Give me 30 Gold and Mapmaking and I'll give you Secret of Dark Frames

I like what you have done! *applause*
Just a tiny question - I feel Elvis fit better as the Culture Advisor, so I was wondering if it's a big problem to switch the stuff around for that?

Thanks for your efforts so far, really cool stuff!
