The Apolyton Tile File Increase the size of your Attachments

The Apolyton tile file is a feature to control the use of the CTP2 til files. Since those files come in the game and are unique we must be very careful to the modders changes dont get imcompatible wit each other.
You can find the download of this set in the Modification > Graphics of the Apolyton database. Where the file will be avaible in a few hours.

Here is the readme:

The Apolyton Tile File

by Pedrunn and IW

I. Introduction
II. Installation
III. Editing/adding graphics or questions



I. Introduction


The Tile Files for CTP2 is a collection of graphics used as rivers, Tile Improvements and Terrains during the course of the game.

Thanks to Martin, the Dane the creator of the Tiledit utility, CTP2 Modmakers now can not only edit but also add new graphics for Tile Improvents, rivers, terrain and terrains borders to this collection.

For sure more pictures will be added in the future. But the first time this set of graphics were largely used was in the Wonders code by IW. And then the City Expansion 2 by Pedrunn.
The creators of this file. And the ones who suggested the creation of a standard version of the til file with the best graphics made by the CTP2 community to control the adding and editing of this so important file. Preventing imcompabilities.


II. Installation


You just need to unzip the ApolytonTile.zip (wich this read me is inside) in your CTP2 base directory.

Note: This file will be find from the CTP2 base directory in the folder path:

"CTP2 base directory"/ctp2_data/default/graphics/tiles/

PS: Dont be afraid of problems in the original game. Since none of original graphics were touched.


III. Editing/adding graphics or questions


The problem about adding new graphics specially Tile Improvements is that only a few TileSet Index numbers do work correctly and appear in the map.
The rest just doenst appear in map but most of the cases it causes game crashs what turs the attempt to find a number really frustating.
But we have covered already almost all tileset index from 300 to 499 and 600 to 700. and the tileset that do work and werent used above are:

---> 457, 465, 466, 467, 468, 469, 470, 649, 695, 696, 697, 698, 699 and 700.

If you have questions about the Tile File or you have a good graphic that you think may be useful for the modmakers or may replace an old version of a current one and wants to add to the Apolyton Tile File:

You can e-mail Pedrunn, the Tile File current Administrator.

pbcavalcanti@uol.com.br

or e-mail the Immortal Wombat:

Weaver1@btopenworld.com

both can be found in the apolyton forums. Where you will find the answers not only to the Tile File but to all of you CTP2 questions.

Sorry, I would have approved the file hours ago but I was called away from my PC while uploading the files and didn't return to it until a few minutes ago. The file is available in the Directory now.

Pedrunn (and IW),
I added a line to the Description field for other modmakers, saying they can contact either of you guys or me if they have additions to the tile file. Is this okay with you guys?

...or post in this thread. One day I want to see included the purple hills and a completed version of the Submarine Canyon terrain.

Another question why does have the *.zip file a size of 2674 KB, did you included both *.til files, Pedrunn. If I zip my modified file that includes a lot of additional graphics too then I only have a file of the half size. At least you could seperate them if you want to prrovide one for modmakers but the gtset555.til is really not needed.

Yeah, fine.

True though, gtset555.til could be removed.

They are already in my plans. I even had a few words with IW about the purple hills . But we were kind of in a hurry because of our wonder and city expansion codes. So i first released this first version. Dont worry it will be included.
I assume i can find those terrain graphics/rules in your site.

I did include both since i was afraid the gtset555.til did do something (although i had notest before that only the gt565.til were in-game). I guess wont be a problem to remove the gtset555.til.

I'm assuming that this is bundled with the Ben's Visible Wonders Mod.

Was the Wonder Tile building issue fixed?

And, of course, what do I need to do to make it Cradle-compatible??

No, Ben's Visible Wonder mod has it's own Tile File, which is different from this one. Later (hopefully today), Ben will update the Visible Wonders mod to remove the old Tile File and make the mod itself compatible with this new Tile File.

Right now you don't need to do anything to make it Cradle compatible, it already is. However, if you plan on implenting Visible Wonders Mod and City Expansion and the like, you *will* need to make sure your mod remains compatible with this Apolyton Tile File. Normally that should be the case though, providing you just use whatever files Pedrunn/IW provide you with...

I was just wondering , why the Sphinx, Dino park and AI Entity wonders are in this pack, as these wonders are no longer in CtP2 there only in CtP1.

Although i wish dino park and AI Entity where still in CtP2
Maybe History of the world mod


Anyone know why Activision decided to have the Sphinx as a wonder in Call to Power 1 rather than the pyramids lol lol

The Apolyton Tile File replaces the the Visible wonder mods Tile File without imcompatibilities (since the index for the wonders are the same). So you can ovewrite it. But as Locutus said IW will release a version of the visible wonders mod without its tile file. So much smaller (a few KB only).

code:
why the Sphinx, Dino park and AI Entity wonders are in this pack,

for mod resources. In the mod i am developing i use the dinosaur park and the AI entity. maybe others will want to use too or some of the unused graphics (like the cathedral or the Angkor Wat, the globe, opera house, half of the cities...). If you look much deeper you will notice that most the graphics arent being used by the modders (but may be, even for different purpouses than the visi wonders and cityX).

Legal issues: they couldn't make the game look too much like Civ2...

My current plan is to indeed make the Dino Park and AI Entity return (not the Sphinx though), but the only reason for that is *because* they are part of the Apolyton Tile File Of the wonders currently in the Tile File, about 25-30 will probably make it into HotW. And if I can find someone to do the graphics, there are another 10-20 or so wonders of which I would like to add the graphics to the Tile File (plus perhaps a few extra natural wonders).

Pedrunn,
Actually, IW told me last night that there was a problem with the numbering of the current Tile File, which caused his Visible Wonders mod to be incompatible. From what I understand, he needed to fix that.

Pedrunn renumbered the visi wonder tileIDs from those I had used. Its not a big deal, but it means checking some files out, and altering it all again. I had no time on the PC this evening, but hopefully I can do it tommorrow, because then I'll be away until September 1st.

No, i used the same TileIDs as the Visi Wonders i just changed the TileIDs for the cities.

The only TileID changed for wonders i made was fix the number of the cathedral wich had the same as the oracle. The rest is the same.

Help Please.

a)Does the tile file work with Cradle (1.32)?

b) If so , how do you avtivate it? I downloaded it , un zipped into the tile file and started a new game and there appears to be no difference, ie, no Grand Canyon etc.

c) Or does it only work with one of the other mods?

This file is just a prerequisite to some mods. It just saves some graphics in your CTP2 game database so that mods may or may not use it. Craddle does not use any of the graphics so if you download this file for Craddle you wasted some download time. So far this set of graphics are only being used by the Visible Wonders mod, City Expansion 2.0 mod, the Natural Wonders Mod.
Yet Hexagonia, creator of Craddle has already talked to me IW to include these codes i listed i the new 1.33 version of Craddle.
You will have to wait this new version to see the canyon, reef barriers, wonders in the map you so much wanted when you downloaded this file.

So at least you did not downloaded it in vain. It will be also a requirement for MedPack just don't know when. I know Wes wanted the City Expansion feature a long time ago.
