I was able to borrow some time on a computer and promptly got tilededit and my tilefile and did a quick update by adding new river graphics, changed the hills to look more hilly since that was a complaint, and kind of did the railroads.

Please post a screenshot if you try it because I dont have access to ctp2 and would like to see if i need to make a changes to these graphics (if I get another chance)

thanks...

Your zip file contains the wrong tile file i think. Only 565 can work by itself IIRC. At least i tried it and got the error.

No need to dig, just use TileEdit to convert it to the right format. That is: open it, select 'save' and press 'OK' twice

Far too much work for lazy me

Ill post some screenshots in a sec, if no one beats me to it.

A couple of things i noticed. First the kelp still looks blurry (1st shot), but i guess you settled on that now. Second, the border on the glacier there looks too straight (3rd shot). Third the tundra beach border looks a bit weird (4th shot).

THanks Maq...those are other issues I'll address, but I guess the rivers and new hills look good enough unless there is something I cant see in the screen shot.

I also intend doing a cradle-friendly version where the "worker TIs" are actually finished TIs

Absolutely the rivers fit better and hills look good now.

Another thing that does niggle me a bit is the strong contrast of the tundra detail compared to the new tiles. Its like the original ctp2 tiles were all very strong colours and dark. The civ3 ones are paler and generally contain less detail. If you dont know what im talking about then it probably isnt a problem.

updated again! THis time I'm redoing the borders instead of making the tiles big. let me know what you think and if you spot any errors.

	Tired of ads?

Looks mostly great, but the sea, hills, and some desert tiles still look a bit squarish. Another minor issue, is that some of the grassland tiles with trees on can be a little hard to distingwish at a first glance from the forest tiles with few trees on. But I guess it's only untill I get used to it.

Great work

Gives the game a fresh look. Hard to put CtP2 away even after many times of playing because of the work done by peolpe like you.

thanks guys. I have received a few comments on the tiles so I'll post a minor update this weekend (probably).

The most controversial thing about my tiles are the improvements so I'm looking to re-add the CtP2 originals and then add my additional ones to the end.

modify the text file then re load the script into tile edit this way you will be done in a few minutes.

I've updated again. Only small changes tidying up some borders (especially since I saw shallows not showing the borders in some old maps)

HAVE NOT added back the old CtP2 improvements yet, got a bit side tracked on the Civ3 sprites....

Are you adding them back as they were or draining some colour from them E? Not sure how well itd look but might be worth a try to help them fit in more.

I'll try to wash them a bit and see how it goes, if not they will be the original.

I've done a version with the old Ctp2 tile improvements. I added my new tiles at the end and tried to just make a tileimp.txt "patch" for those that want to use my new imps but I'm having problems. Maq or BigMC or anyone else can you explain what the problem is?

	Remove this text

I loaded a game where the only tile imps visible were roads and trading posts this didnt crash, but then again it did crash when i tried to place some more trad posts with the scen editor. Also when i switched to another player in the scen editor which I knew had farms and mines the game crashed to desktop straight away.

Trading posts werent showing properly when i loaded the game, not sure what it is in their place and why theyre moved NW. Ill have more time to mess with it on sunday or monday if you havent fixed it by then.

Perhaps if tileimp.txt is the problem you should try adding one at a time and try it out, but it could be the 800-900 range that could be the problem like you said because only the roads show properly, which are the original numbers. Is there any reason why you didnt use 700-800?

Thanks guys,

I tried it again and I did see some weird stuff. I added a farm using the scenario editor and it was placing the City Slave graphic, which I DIDNOT put in my file.

I'll mess around again and 'm going to test these possible problems:

Pure Black
TileIndex Number
Using different tile ID for same tileimp but different for each terrain


If you have any other tips let me know.

Maq, since you have a game with a lot of imps could you test out my tiles (again) I included a tileimp.txt that maps to my new graphics. I think they all work but just to be sure.

thanks.

Yeah that tile file and tileimp.txt worked fine on every tile imp. I was seeing the original nets and maglevs, I guess those were left on purpose though, so everything I saw fine. Didnt test the underwater imps but I assume those were left originals too.
