Snoopy...City Graphics.... are you neally there yet? How much further in time, howmuchfurtherinmiles, howmuchfurth....

Snoopy I hold out my hat to you...great job.

They look excellent! One question, tho - Can I use this to mod my game without the resources with the letter next to them? I'd be content with just the resource as it appears in the default, the letter next to it is a bit distracting... Is there a file to exclude for this?

The resource icons aren't touched by this mod, only the terrain graphics. The resource icons in the example picture were because he's using another mod for that one, so you're safe.

I actually prefer your older terrain graphics. The mismatched Mountains are not good, the trees in the rivers and floodplain are distracting, and I miss the irrigation graphics (Did you ever do one for Tundra? I don't have it and have been using Zeb's which doesn't quite fit...).

You are still the terrain master, though - cuz nothing else out there even compares do your work!

I'll try finish them today, because I'd like to get them done and move on to some unit creating. It's quite time consuming doing the cities, but luckily the hard parts are out of the way, I only have to do 3 more industrial eras, add a bit more life to Euro and touch up the smaller cities (which doesn't take long at all).

Amesjustin, when I started making these graphics, I said to myself that I will not try to please everyone else but myself; this way if someone complains, I don't have to feel that I should do something about it. What I have given you now, is what it is and what it always will be, I'm not going back to fix anything or redo anything. Because I am happy with the way it is now. The reasons why I put tree's on rivers is so that the river doesn't float, the reason tree's overlap the coast is because if I made the tree's smaller, they wouldn't clump together like they do now and the reason the mountains aren't all grey is because not all mountains are grey in the real world, so it makes for some correct variety and kills the dullness.

I will be doing a completely new graphics mod soon, I think i'll call it "CleanMod" because thats kind of what it will be like. It'll be like some girls fairytale utopia where everything is perfect.

FrostyBoy · April 20, 2002, 17:58

like this

FrostyBoy · April 20, 2002, 20:02

btw I did do the irrigation for all the terrains required, but I didn't include them in the graphics mod becoz I didn't much like the colours I used, I want to go back and redo them.

Amesjustin · April 20, 2002, 22:51

Snoopy,

Didn't mean to upset you, just throwing in my 2 cents... You are the best at the terrain graphics. Sorry.

-Justin

Amesjustin · April 21, 2002, 00:19

I decided to install your entire pack and it turns oot I do like it better. In your screenshot above, you use a really cool plains graphic - where can we get that?

FrostyBoy · April 21, 2002, 14:22

no need to say sorry Amesjustin, I was giving my 2 cents aswell =o)

and that screenshot with those plains are not actually done, it was just an old screenshot I edited about a yr ago

Rhuarc · April 22, 2002, 23:40

So how about that city mo Sn00py? Are you anywhere close to completion of it yet? Thanks alot for allt he wonderful work!

FrostyBoy · April 23, 2002, 01:24

I just did, check forums lol

and I am starting that other gfx mod as I type this =o)

Gramphos · May 8, 2002, 18:18

Sn00py,
Did you ever complete the irrigation? I use your city and terrain graphics.

Jon Shafer · May 8, 2002, 20:57

What about the new terrain mod? It looks cool, I think I'll try it out once you're finished.

Gramphos · May 9, 2002, 04:02

The Full Thing
Greener Version (Also Full)

(You only need one.)

Jon Shafer · May 9, 2002, 08:43

Is that snoopy's original terrain mod, or is it that one that he was working on recently (that he posted a picture of not too long ago)? I already have the original version, if that's what that is.

Gramphos · May 9, 2002, 13:36

It's the Original April 6 mod, (Not the very first mod.) and not the ´picture he posted before.

I just reposted them here instead of on Civfanatics'

tishco · May 9, 2002, 15:43

I am looking forward to clean mod, looks nice, especially the river and little cute trees, ahhhh, like settlers (2, i hate the later ones!)
the city in the middle fits in white well imo
it also looks more isometric, like form a higher point of view
i would put it in "terrain2" folder to alternate
when will it be ready?

Rhuarc · May 10, 2002, 01:37

Hey Sn00py, I'm just wondering if you ever completed the irrigation and placed it into the April 6th release? I'm trying to figure out which is your completed graphix mod that includes all you rlatest and coolest stuff!

Sirotnikov · May 15, 2002, 16:35

exactly, I want to see a complete mod

FrostyBoy · June 16, 2002, 08:17

late post sorry

I didn't do any irrigation, I've already done some before

I might do them again if the editor is any good

PGM · June 17, 2002, 18:58

Hey Sn00py, just tried your latest MOD. I don't know what you did to the water, but it's incredible. Specially the coasts, I'm speechless.
I wonder if there's any job openings at Firaxis for REAL artists...

Adc · June 19, 2002, 16:15

Hey Sn00py, any news on the clean MOD?
Would it be possible for you to make partial releases as soon as you complete, for example, the trees or the jungle?
