GRAPHICS: New Format Wonder Splashes for Conquests by Pounder

pounder · December 29, 2003, 14:17

I have completed the Wonder Splashes in a new format that shows all the information that some like to see, without covering any of the picture.

There are 40 splashes all updated for Conquests epic game. I have also redone the background. The background and the splashes should be used together to avoid colour mismatch.

The background also has the Civ and their traits listed.

The Splash info includes:
1) Down the right side are: the Wonder/Civ Traits that may trigger a golden age, the amount of Culture generated by the wonder and whether the wonder can become a Tourist Attraction.

2) Below the picture shows the technology that will obsolete the wonder and the benifits of the wonder.

As always Back Up any files you are replacing so you have the ability to return to previous configuration.

You will have to place them into their appropriate folders.

Internet goes into C:\Program Files\Infogrames Interactive\Civilization III\CIV3PTW\Art\Wonder Splash

Zeus, Artemis, Mausoleum and Knight Templar go into C:\Program Files\Infogrames Interactive\Civilization III\Conquests\Art\Wonder Splash

And the rest of the files go into C:\Program Files\Infogrames Interactive\Civilization III\Art\Wonder Splash

Please note that Firaxis used the same splash for the Forbidden Palace and the Secret Police HQ. I have included a separate splash for Secret Police HQ (thanks to Unexisted for the picture). To enable it you will have to make the following change:

Go to the Pedialcons file below and make a copy of this file for backup:
C:\Program Files\Infogrames Interactive\Civilization III\Conquests\Text\Pedialcons

Find this entry:
#WON_SPLASH_BLDG_Secret_Police_HQ
art\wonder splash\forbidden city.pcx

And change it to:
#WON_SPLASH_BLDG_Secret_Police_HQ
art\wonder splash\SecretPoliceHQ.pcx

This Zip file contains all the files and is about 1.3MB in size. Version Dec 26/03

Gramphos

I have edited the first post to include the download location you provided above..

I am unable to check the download myself as I get a message saying:

You have tried to link to an image on our site directly. Please do not use our bandwidth for your sites.

I assume everyone else can download the file fine as I have no problem downloading other files.

I am new to this site and just wanted to be sure.

I'll look into that error. (read pass it on to someone who might know)

If anyone else get the same error on other files on the civ3files.apolyton.net subdomain tell me.

Thank you. It saves me the trouble of trying to do it myself.

pounder there is a thread in creation where Jesse Smith of Firaxis is asking for this sort of art work to be incorporated into C3C.

Here is an alternate splash that you can use for the Sistine Chapel, for those who prefer the painting on the ceiling.

After you unzip it you will have to re-name it 'Sistine Chapel'.

This is the picture used, credit to Mizaq for the picture.

BTW, the file in the previous post does include all the additional info for the splash.
