Added another 11 custom races. They are in their own zip so you don't need to download all of them again if you've used my earlier ones. They are in the Factions 21-31 zip. And they take the total up to, you guessed it, 31. If you have fun with them and have amusing game anecdotes, please feel free to share. Cheers
DeutschRitter, the additional factions data go in your Factions folder, which would be in something like My Documents/My Games/GalCiv3. In Factions, you will find a) four sub-folders and b) the custom faction files. The four sub-folders contain the custom art in ".png" format as follows a) LeaderBGs: backgrounds (1920x1028), b) LeaderFGs: large portraits (1920 x 1080) c) Logos : logos(!) (128 x 128) and d) Portraits: small portraits (128 x 128). So when you download ma
Thanks for the note Xenvar. The extra Chimera file can be deleted (the one with the oldest time stamp) as I had forgotten originally to make the Chimera evil, which I edited to fix after. I don't plan to make customized ship styles for these, as with 20 new races this would turn a hobby into a full-time task. Of course, other members of the modding community may take that challenge on. With a little bit from everybody, the universe will just get ri
Perhaps you can post your source art, and I can show you how to make it work in game?
The image used for your large leader art must be 1920 (w) by 1080 (h), with the game expecting the interesting part of your image to occupy the lower center of this grid. So let's say X is interesting, O is transparent. In a 1920/1080 picture your leader should occupy this space, more or less (assuming it isn't a floating race!): OOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOO OOOO XX OOOO OOO XXXX OOO
Update, reflected in original post: Now there are 20 custom factions, with new alien art and (mainly) new logos. 19 are serious, one is for fun, but they all work. There is some pre-existing logo art from a different author on this forum (which I can no longer find, oddly) that I had downloaded too. The big 100MB file contains 19 factions in a factions folder. The small Mendax one is a 20th race, with just the required art t
Yes, I am uploading a new folder...it will be live again in about 1 hour. But there will 19 factions rather than 10. Sorry for the inconvenience while my poor Internet connection uploads...
Wifidi, if you know how to mod things beyond the range of what you can do in the custom race menu of the game, by all means.
Thanks! I did not really expect people to play with the pink baby, but it was art I just couldn't ignore. They are cute enough to conquer the galaxy!
