Planet Improvement Images

from GalCiv2 Forums

Hello! I was just wondering if anyone knew where I can find additional images for planetary improvements for Twilight. I found many wonderfully done images by Zyxpsilon in the Asa RaceMod, but I haven't been able to find anything else.

 

If no one does know, I would like to request some improvement images. They are mostly for the improvements that did not get updated in Twilight. I have been able to fill in some of the gaps with Zyxpsilon's images, but some still remain. Here is a list of improvements I would like the most:

 

All Three Farms

All Three Power Plants

Counter Espionage Center

Embassy and Culture Exchange Center

Industrial Sector

Neutrality Research Center

Recruitment Center

Research Coordination Center

Zero G Sports Arena

Virtual Reality Center

Artificial Slave Center

Manufacturing Capital

Technology Capital

 

 

These are improvements I would like images for, but they are not as vital:

Food Distribution Center

Fertility Clinic

Planetary Defense

Propaganda Center

Economic Capital

Galactic Resort

Hyperion Re-supply Center

Omega Defense Systems

Re-Education Center

Secret Police Center

Spin Control Center

Eyes of the Universe

Galactic Guide Book

Galactic Bazaar

Orbital Terraformer

Propaganda Machine

Restaurant of Eternity

All Trade Goods

Don't forget the Research Center and Research Academy, if you haven't found replacements already.  They currently use the images for the Dark Energy Lab and Interstellar Refinery.  I set them back to the old images, but updates would be swell.

I'm fine with those two labs as is, so they are very low on my priority list.

sporepedia? Really? That seems like an unusual place to upload them, but I'll check them out.

I am also eager to see what you have, if you ever upload them.

 

Edit: Wait, do you mean using pictures iof actual spore buildings? I'm afraid that's not exactly what I'm looking for. I'm looking for images that blend in with one's that already exist.

 

Here's one of Zyxpsilon, so you can see what I'm talking about. This one I'm using for the Extreme Stadium.

They look good, but I cannot for the life of me figure out which query image goes with which icon image. Normally, they have the same name, to avoid this sort of confusion.

Its up to you I didint really feel like naming all those images.

TOV,

It may surprise you to learn that i actually didn't make the tri-color "stadium" you inserted in your earlier post.

I just provided the ASA modteam with a whole bunch of filtered_recolored_warped assets (Icons+Queries) and they picked up the FootBall soon after while probably adapting some of my work to their particular needs.

Considering i multi-tasked editing steps for about two weeks worth of extensive decisions *for free*... it's kinda puzzling to find out some new stuff was integrated as well. Haven't been following much of GCII modding for awhile though for good reasons; one of which -- the local GC2 Library hasn't been updated or fixed for years now.

I do have a lot of new files & graphics for both X-Worlds & CoSH right here... but, as it happens, i'm the only person on Planet Earth that can enjoy a complete version for those!

I-Mod productions site also had it's fair share of troubles back in '09 too. I simply lost patience.

I've been playing X-Coms & CiV ever since. And taking some rare potshots at Aliens under X-Worlds conditions in DA or TA when i feel like it.

Huh, you know, despite once being rather prolific on Spore, I never thought about using it for Planetary Improvement images (despite trying the exact same thing on a game called Rise of Nations...with poor results, my modding skills weren't what they are now).

If you wish, I can provide a list of my own buildings in the Sporepedia, as well as creators who have (in my opinion) the best buildings around. [links are to the buildings only section of their profiles, which also includes stage props for an expansion pack. don't be afraid to look in the other sections, though.]

Alchemist: yours truly. Some of them I'm very proud of, and many are parts of a set. http://www.spore.com/sporepedia#qry=ftr-building%3Ausr-Alchemist%7C2263119400%3Aview-newest

Andeavor: Possibly one of the greatest building editors in Spore, most of his pieces are parts of matched sets. http://www.spore.com/sporepedia#qry=ftr-building%3Ausr-Andeavor%7C2260696154%3Aview-newest

Parkaboy: My favorite creator. Parkaboy was actually hired by Maxis to help create the Spore expansion pack. http://www.spore.com/sporepedia#qry=ftr-building%3Ausr-Parkaboy%7C2262785743%3Aview-newest

Dananddna: Style shows many similarities to Parkaboy's, but Dan seems to recieve less attention than the above. http://www.spore.com/sporepedia#qry=ftr-building%3Ausr-dananddna%7C2262855344%3Aview-newest

Serevanth: She is very famous for her comprehensive and well-constructed building sets. http://www.spore.com/sporepedia#qry=ftr-building%3Ausr-Serevanth%7C2266357611%3Aview-newest

There's plenty more, like Strategist, Himmeslaub, Phylum, Zaneas, and more, check 'em out for yourself. It's creators like these that made me stick around in Spore for so long, before inevitablely returning to Galactic Civilizations.:P
