Replacing 11 years old wog graphics - Valery - 04.03.2014 02:30

A little mod proposing fresh graphics for the ugliest models. My models are from Millidor, then I add modifications and animations.

So far a few are done(still, some of those need reworking):

Home of the Bat

Image: qeo.gif

Arcane Tower

Image: trg.gif

Death Chamber (needs resizing)

Image: 9cq.gif

Battle Academy

Image: z63.gif

Palace of Dreams (St Basil/kremlin)

Image: 74e.gif

Bank (seems this object is never used so will be just free objects)

Image: t5bw.gif

I need badly a skull model, can't find anywhere. If any has good material, please show.

Валерию нужна модель черепа.

Transylvania tavern

Image: fyr.gif

Actually this object has only 18 frames (the def 71) but we can create endless combinations. The gif is not the def, impossible to reproduce.

I replace eye of magi in my mod:

Eye of the magi is a beautiful object. I don't want to change it Spiteful

My replacement for WoG objects

RE: Replacing 11 years old wog graphics - Valery - 04.03.2014 12:49

Ha, I see a HoTa fortress, nice. I will also use the blue tower for replacing the wizard one, but I will add some animation on top.

и ещё момент...
когда молния сверкает, её свет падает на здание, освещая некоторые её части иным светом....
Вот пример этого:

Вот пример этого:

Молния слишком тёмная чтобы быть естественной. Она даже не сверкает. Так что с освещением всё нормально.
А картинка не отображается, 404.

gamecreator, залил в иной сервис (хотя я и ту видел)

RE: Replacing 11 years old wog graphics - Valery - 04.03.2014 19:14

I didn't think to have effects of the lightning on building because the lightning is set behind the building in PS. Hmm...For the big light it is very visible, for the 2 small ones, not very. But maybe would be a good idea to set lightnings in front of it then add a small blue area on?

PSD file
Tavern.def
Tavern1.def (no shadow)

The 3rd link has the tavern with external shadow, lightnings will not generate shadow.

Ok, let's see about adventure cave. I have nothing which fits 100% so the only solution is to surgically combine parts and see how goes.

Starting material:

Image: 24fr.png

Modifications (no animation yet):

Image: 48rp.png

The animation will probably consist in eyes inside the cave, + some skulls at entrance. But what bothers me is the upper part, original is rather green, after playing with settings, becomes closer to bottom but textures now vary.

Another possible model to start from:

Or, already done, but with a different animation color (much darker)

Ideas? Or different models?

Hanna-Barbera style

Which or none for adventure cave?

RE: Replacing 11 years old wog graphics - Valery - 06.03.2014 17:03

Was this finally (reworked the skulls and changed animation order)

Mod (beta) is uploaded HERE (1Mb)

Objects until now (some are free):

Death chamber resized. Transylvania tavern def has now external shadow, so lightning does not generate one.

It seems like death chamber, not adventure cave, IMO. Original object fits better (at least on your screen).

RE: Replacing 11 years old wog graphics - Valery - 06.03.2014 17:24

The original adventure cave has a mountain as background. So every time it goes on snow, lava or desert it looks alien.

Will search more for a suitable objects then Bad

RE: Replacing 11 years old wog graphics - Berserker - 06.03.2014 21:21

Perhaps the problem is with word Cave and real cave functionality (labirinths, troglodytes). Seems that it should be something with rock Bad

RE: Replacing 11 years old wog graphics - Valery - 07.03.2014 22:06

Does any know how we read/extract Cossacks game graphics? Some of them are already in WoG.

RE: Replacing 11 years old wog graphics - gamecreator - 08.03.2014 02:18

And they don't quite fit in there as is.

RE: Replacing 11 years old wog graphics - Valery - 08.03.2014 02:41

Indeed, but after being worked, they could fit more than milidor ones, which even after work, don't fit at all.
I can open cossacks, but the GPviewer reads only half of building, then the next half. Not practical.

Kingdoms under Fire also looks good.

I was so happy that I finally found this thread, but the link is dead Bad

These map objects are amazingly well made. I would be so glad if someone could share Valery's work with me.

Sorry for necroposting Bad

I found it useful to add some additional rare objects to the pack too.

Also, you could take a look at these download stores:
