Agent Smith Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 I've been dabbling with giving SC a bit of wood! It's a work in progress, but if anyone is interested in trying it out please note below where I can post/ store/ reside the bmp and wav files. regards A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyJohn Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 Agent Smith Sounds Terrific, thanks for making it available. And thanks to Friendly Fire I've got the sound, including effects, where I like it, total silence! Some of us prefer listening to music on the hard drive, or webradio and one of our complaints was that in SC there was no way to turn the sound off. But I think most people enjoy hearing the game sounds, which is fine, but a toggle option would also be good. Can your very fine looking graphics be downloaded without the wav files?

Agent Smith Posted February 5, 2004 Author Share Posted February 5, 2004 An honour to here from you JJ. Yes. At the moment these files only reside on my hard disk, I'm not sure which site they should be put on. I'm hoping that rather than post as a finished mod, users can offer further suggestions. There have been numerous unit mods, but little in the way of interface. regards A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent Smith Posted February 5, 2004 Author Share Posted February 5, 2004 The only sound mod I made is to the intro sound. Everything else left as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyJohn Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 And it's an Honor to offer my views, Agent. Never dabbled in this end of things. Pflang recently made a mod but last I've read there was a potential problem with some v1.06 and v1.07 game compatabilities, but I doubt that will affect what you're working on. Otto's SC HQ is a good place for the finished product, as with scenarios and anything elsce pertaining to the game. I haven't got the link handy but Hubert has it listed in the first pinned thread at the top of the page. If you've never been to it, it's worth going to just to look around and gather ideas even if you're not in the mood to download anything. Ceding the floor to those who know about MOds. Good Luck and it appears you've got a great start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent Smith Posted February 5, 2004 Author Share Posted February 5, 2004 I have a couple of key buttons to timber, then I'll post up a zip file onto otto's site (feb 9 approx). Can e-mail directly to anyone interested working on files too. It would be good to make this a collaborative effort amongst the SC community.

JerseyJohn Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 I thought the Graphics fans would really be flocking to this one. As said earlier, I don't know squat about this stuff and won't waste anyone's time offering opinions, except ... There are two sets at Otto's I've always liked, one uses the German military map symbols and the other uses the American symbols. I've toyed with the idea of using the German for the Axis and the American for the Allies. Does anyone know if that would work? Hope this turns into the community effort Agent is asking for, it's a really fine idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt88 Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 Those graphics look real good. Unfortunately I don't know squat about tinkering around with this sort of stuff. Thanks for making these available! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDG Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 Very nice. Good work. Let us now once they are posted at Otto's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcpilot Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 Agent, those screens look real nice. I would love to have them. Please do let us know when they are up at Otto's. Thanks and BZ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent Smith Posted February 11, 2004 Author Share Posted February 11, 2004 Thankyou for the ongoing encouragement gentlemen. (There have been a small number of delays beyond my control.) I have about 4 or 5 dialogue screens left to mod...as soon as it's ready I'll announce to one and all. J.J. I Agree with you about those german graphic unit mods. I have played a number of games with them. I particularly liked the yellow Italian units, nice contrast. The unit mod incorporated in my set, has changed the colour balance slightly to this effect, making the countries a little more distinct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt88 Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 Nice colors Agent Smith, especially the Italian ones like you mentioned. Good work and thanks again for making them available! And now let Trinity go, I love her and won't share her with a machine ! Trinity , ahhhhh.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyJohn Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 Agent Great looking units, looking forward to using them. Kurt I'd be careful, any girl with her hands out that far might be seeking a little too much! :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent Smith Posted February 22, 2004 Author Share Posted February 22, 2004 Well folks, the mod is complete, but there is a small problem. The mod is big. 22Mb zipped! Essentially every file in the 'bitmaps' sub directory has been altered. Is there anybody out there that can 1. recieve this file in 1 piece, or do I have to segment it up? and.. 2. Is there anybody prepared or able to store this file online for all. some suggestions for how this can be done would be appreciated, too many hours went into this mod to not be able to share it. regards Agent :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Olesen Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 I'd like to try this out. Is it available somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent Smith Posted October 4, 2005 Author Share Posted October 4, 2005 Thankyou for some belated interest Robert. What follows is a rather sad tale... After spending TOO many hours, manipulating pixels, tweaking colour sets, altering sounds and music score, (scanning in wood grain from cigar boxes etc.) As stated above, to my horror, the file total was over 20mb. I pedalled the mod to a number of sites that host mods and scenario, but all deemed it too big. THEN My computer crashed consigning this titanic to the cyber-depths...one copy did survive. Burned to CD and shipped to Kurt 88. (from Australia to Belgium). A shadow of my former modding days, I now quietly play a vanilla version....awaiting the glorious modding frontier of SC2. ...but seriously, try messaging Kurt, he even suggested at one point, he'd pass it on to some of his pbem opponents. I'd be chuffed to think that it is still gracing the screens of somebody's machine. The whole point in doing the mod, was to capture a combination of forties font styles and a traditional board game from the box. Again with SC2, my modding aim will be to remove windoze dialog box graphics, and hopefully move from minitures to old style press out card units. Perhaps the next mod will also need to include an SC2 windows theme, while playing the game. I'm rambling... good luck regards Agent S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friendly Fire Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 bummer about the wood mod, nice try though while not comparable in scope or ambition, I still have the "silent war" mod available for anyone who wants it, mentioned earlier in this thread...
