[RWL] Grafiken und GameFonts

Here we are.

That was fast.

Edit:

Working perfectly.

If the file hasn't the wrong version and i would skip the testing it would be a task less than a minute.

What do you mean with wrong version ?

[melcher kürzer]

Nothing serious. Some more informations has been posted here (near the end).
In this case it wasn't possible to copy a treecut-entry from another nif file. Therefor importing/exporting into blender was necessary.

Hi melcher kürzer! Hi ray!

You recommended me to play with Flag and Threshold values in NifScope and I found a very strange feature.

Please, compare two screens.

1. Semi-transparent figure at NiAlphaProperty Flag 4845



1. Non-transparent figure at NiAlphaProperty Flag 4844



I have no ideas why it's happen but I prefer to use Flag value 4844 instead 4845.

I tested also your last edited file. I imported in your file my version of Trapper_Post, that could be as a first (simplest) Trapper working place. Thus, Trapper_House could be the second level building for Trapper.

Here the results of the combination.

Trapper_Post without your correction:



Trapper_Post with your forest correction:



Here Trapper_Post is clearly visible.

The semi-transparency you noticed have another reason. The texture files you are using are transparent. Therefor your whole model is kind of transparent.
The value you are using now is for diffrent transparent meshs behind each other. It's fine if it works, but with this value the edges are a bit rougher. Shouldn't be noticeable at buildings of that size.
Alternatively you could open your texture and copy-paste the whole thing over.
You would get the same effect.

This is clear because we use dds files as textures. NiAlphaProperty doesn't work if I use bmp file as texture.

Yes, it works and I cannot see any distortions.

I could now successfully import/export my files through Blender. It looks that now I have a correct version. Here the example of new tree made with such import/export operations. I propose this model as Natural_Latex_Trees instead of Palm_Tree.



I additionally tried the "swap"-operation with these trees. All separate parts (Hunter_Post, Tent and Natural_Latex_Trees) are compatible and can be copied/pasted in one common file without problems.



Ray! What do you prefer: this model of Natural_Latex_Trees or Palm_Tree?

I absolutely prefer this new model Natural_Latex_Trees.

Looks great.

Could you post some screens of this ressource on feature jungle when you have finished it ?
Just wondering about its visibility there.
(Natural Rubber trees are supposed to appear on Marsh and Light Green Savannah with jungle.)

Sure, but after few hours. I have no game installed on this PC.

No need to hurry.
(Won't be getting to work on RWL until the weekend again.)

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)

E) I would like to resort my Yields, because I want to have raw above produced in my double-line of yields in the screen.

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

Hi Ray!

Here GameFonts with a new order.

Hi Ray!

Here GameFonts with a new order.

Thanks !
(Will check on Friday.)

[KJ_Jansson]

Yes I think that would work !
(It does not totally look like a Kautschuk-Tree, since those are not palm trees, but I guess most of the players will not notice and I am not very picky. )

And I really like that it is quite easy to distinguish from other trees and the other bonus-ressources.

Did you create those graphics yourself ?

Here Natural_Latex_Trees in marsh. Screen made from your mod. I used Natural_Latex_Trees instead of Vineyard.



You can adjust the size of trees as you want by changing <fScale> and <fInterfaceScale>.

Is this on Feature Jungle ? Becaus that is where I would like to have it.
(Not Terrain Marsh only but also with "Forrest-Type" Jungle ?)

I can't tell in that screenshot.

But the bonus-ressource itself is fantastic.

[KJ_Jansson]

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)

OK, and finally these files.
