[RWL] Grafiken und GameFonts

GREAT WORK, melcher kürzer!

The mill is working! Quite tricky that the unit must work on mill-having tile, but everybody can find how to start rotation.

It's the same as with any other Civ4-improvment. If the tile is worked the improvement is animated. Otherwise not. It's no problem to play the animation always. But i think the Civ4 solution is ideal, you can easily see in the main view which tiles are worked and which are not.

...
Yes, I see. I now "Lsystem" for field improvements and SpecialBuildings for city production, but I'm not happy with both of them.

I have a little bit different ideas about both field improvements and SpecialBuildings.

For SpecialBuildings:
Partially I tested this idea in my previous mod for Alcohol production. I partially moved the Alcohol production on field tiles and produced wine in Wineries, home-made alcohol from food outside the city walls, too, etc. Everything worked perfectly. I know many of modders are not agree with me, but why I cannot use this trick is I see no problems?

Practically similar with "Lsystem". Maybe to be better, if during couple days I prepare a set of images where explain my idea concerning field improvement. To my opinion it's more simple and logically correct. In such case "Lsystem" could be simple "switch-off".

One again, melcher kürzer, thank you VERY MUCH for your excellent work!

I think we talk about two diffrent things. The Lsystem (CIV4PlotLSystem.xml) has only graphical purposes.
If an improvement uses the Lsystem the placement on a plots is dynamic (example: farm).
If not, all improvements of that kind are the same (example: mine).

This picture shows what i mean.

Your arguments engendered doubts about the correctness of my ideas. I need more time to think ...

I think I would like to change my "Ropes" to "Sailcloth and Ropes".

This would still be only ONE combined Yield (for both, Sailcloth and Ropes).
So only the graphics would have to change.
(Of course also texts in XML.)

Buttons for Yield in City- and Europe-Screen, Profession Icon, Yield-Icon in Gamefonts.

Done! Gamefonts and icons are included.

Thanks.

By the way:
I really like the new Gamefonts-Icons for Beer and Trainstation !

@KJ:

Could you please make a Build-Action-Button (Pioneer) for my Improvement Saltmine for me ?
(Similar to the other Build-Action Buttons for the other mines.)

Done!

Wow, this was fast.

Hi KJ,

it is me again.

I just noticed that I would also need Build-Action-Button (Pioneer) for my Improvement Coalmine.
(Sorry, did not notice before.)

Would you be so kind and also make that one please ?

Hi KJ,

as I have told, I will integrate the following 2 Yields :

Cannons
Natural Rubber (Kautschuk)

Thus I will need changes to the following files:

A) Gamefonts

* Yield Cannons (right of Weapons)
* Yield Natural Rubber (simply a white drop, right of "Walruss Ebony")
* Bonus-Icon Natural Rubber (instead of Rice)

B) resource_icons_64ea.dds

* Icon for Natural Rubber (simply add at the end, maybe simply a white drop)

C) Buttons for Yields Cannons (see attachment) and Natural Rubber (maybe simply a bowl with white liquid in it)

D) The graphics you have presented for Bonus Kautschuk (looking similar to a palm)

E) If it really is not too much work for you, I would like to resort my Yields, because I want to have raw above produced in my double-line of yields in the screen.

It would be really amazing if you could help me here too.

This would be the new order in Gamefonts:

Achtung Spoiler:

01) Food
02) Wood
03) Stone
04) Iron-ore
05) Silver
06) Gold
07) Gems
08) Coal
09) Hemp
10) Healing Herbs
11) Valuable Wood
12) Cocoafruits
13) Coffeeberries
14) Red Pepper
15) Barley
16) Sugar
17) Grapes
18) Sheepwool
19) Cattlehides
20) Fur
21) Cotton
22) Indigo
23) Tobacco
24) Whalefat
25) Luxurygoods
26) Horses
27) Tools
28) Guns
29) Cannons
30) Pearls
31) Walrurssebony
32) Natural Rubber (Kautschuk)
33) Salt
34) Ropes and Sailcloth
35) Medicin
36) Furniture
37) Cocoa
38) Coffee
39) Spices
40) Beer
41) Rum
42) Wine
43) Woolclothes
44) Leather
45) Furcoats
46) Cloth
47) Coloured Cloth
48) Cigars
49) Whaleoil
50) Trading Goods

I have attached the following:

Gamefonts and an Atlas-Files where you could take out Icons and Buttons for Cannon
My current version of Gamefonts and resource_icons_64ea.dds

Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi Ray!

I will do these changes, however it's required some time because I have to re-made the Yields line in GameFonts practically from zero. I expect to finish GameFonts changes during next week. Thus, you can start resorting of yours yields.

Other things are much more simple to do, I guess.

I know that it is a lot of work and that this really takes time.
(No need to hurry.)

I am absolutely speechless that you are willing at all to make yourself all of that work to help me.

...
Just one thing about visibility:
In normal Forest the Improvement is quite hard to see.
...

The improvement needs a treecut-shape in the nif. Attach the file here.
