New mod idea!

Sefter Aruna · #1 May 20th, 2004, 07:32 PM

I have been working on a mod that takes you back to the days of knights and castles, I have allready changed the backround from stars to a planetscap. and the planets to castles but I need the pics for the weps: bows, swords, lances, etc.... And the solders: Archers, Knights, footsolders, etc....

Can any of you help me?

just to take screenshots from other games, like heroes of might and magic or stronghold.

And just in case you didnt know: There is already a mod that may be interesting to you: Fantasy Empires mod. Its a mod that changed everything into fantasy with elves, undeads, and magic and stuff.
search for fantasy empires. There is even a game on PBW !!!

The imagemod is a good place to start, but there haven't been many submissions of the type you want...

When you do get the images, please do submit them for inclusion.

Allready looked at it, I just want to make it more truelife than fantasy. I don't want the all powerfull wizard that can take out an entire company of solders, I want the old time asulting the castle walls. And the Last Version of the fantasy mod that I got did not change the Pics to much, you sent solders into space to battle! I am thinking more like what it was like in the movie Timeline.

As to the screenshots, You have to have the games to get the screenshot and I don't have them. I was hopeing that someone here at the forums might have an idea......

There are tons of medieval and ancient style buildings in the Image Mod, borrowed from Rise of Nations. They would work perfectly in your mod.

Also, there are some shields and sets of armor in the Components pack, borrowed from Diablo II, that would be of use.

I got all the pictures for the fantasy empires mod from Magic:The Gathering cards. Check out CardKingdom for their searchable database.

Also, feel free to take whatever you want from the FEMod.

Good luck, have fun modding!

Yeah, that was the old beta (just there to debug the data files). The most recent Version is a complete conVersion, including pics. Check it out! See my sig for download info.

And if you like it, there is a game starting soon (this weekend perhaps) - feel free to join. It's on PBW called Fantasy Empires First Game. I think there are one or two slots left.

Since I already have the files, do you have a credits.txt for inclusion in the imagemod?

No credits.txt, but here's what it would say (from the readme)
---
Credits:
All Components and Facilities art is from Wizard of the Coast's Magic: The Gathering. Some map art is from Heroes of Might and Magic III. Anything obviously ugly is from me, and you should feel free to contact me to submit new art to replace it. Everything not by me is copyrighted - contact me if you want information on a specific .bmp file.

Not sure if that is complete enough for your puposes though. And again, not sure if it is worth the bloat to add all the images to the image mod...
