Mythos_Ruler Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 I'm not really going to delve into it here, because this is the wrong discussion for it, but yeah, one involves click-drag and another a radius around the Civ Centre. Neither are mutually exclusive though. In fact I would like to see both. Anyway, no more about Walls in this thread plz. They will not be going into Alpha III, that I can be sure of (unless an intrepid fan of the game programs it for us in the meantime).

Ykkrosh Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Switch over to individual portraits for unit icons instead of portrait sheets.r8440. (Haven't changed any of the other sheets (in session/icons/sheets/ for formations and resources etc), since they probably need manual work rather than an automated script.)

Ykkrosh Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 Reimplementing the Hotkey systemI think I can fix that fairly easily - most of it can stay the same, it just needs to interact properly with GUI pages and scripts. (Should be able to start that tonight.)r8444 should fix the problems I'm aware of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythos_Ruler Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 I took a look at the new portraits. Great job in separating them out. I've already started adding more portraits to the folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMST Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 Two Celtic heroes, Leonidas and the Spartans have their ingame portait replaced with artwork. Is this going to happen with all units? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteTreePaladin Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 Yes, but with everything, not just units. (It will be a gradual process though.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plumo Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 Yes, but with everything, not just units. (It will be a gradual process though.)I have to admit, the 2D artwork is stunning ! One remark about the celtic heroes : the icon is totally different from the 3D actor (armour, facial hair, helmet ) Will the 3D model be altered to fit with the 2D ?

SMST Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 Though the 2D work is indeed great, I have to say I like the screenshot portraits more. But this is to everyone's personal taste, after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shield Bearer Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 I have to admit, the 2D artwork is stunning ! One remark about the celtic heroes : the icon is totally different from the 3D actor (armour, facial hair, helmet ) Will the 3D model be altered to fit with the 2D ?we're using the concept art for those. I mean i don't see the reason in making new art when we've already got such awesome stuff.@SMST: dude u must be kidding, those icons were awful!

Pureon Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 I agree with Shield Bearer, the screenshots weren't very nice The 2D artwork is amazing guys, may I ask who is working on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythos_Ruler Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 Only one, Leonidas, is new, and that was done by Shield Bearer. I only provided the references, he did the hard work. The others though were concept art done years ago that he dug up from the website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMST Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 (edited) @SMST: dude u must be kidding, those icons were awful!No really, I'm not kidding. It fitted better with the rest of the UI design, if you ask me.Well, I am also the only one who liked the look of the old pre-alpha buildings more, so I'll just keep my mouth shut.

fabio Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 I agree with SMST here, I prefer the "screenshot" icons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythos_Ruler Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Part of the problem with the old "unit shot" portraits is that they were only 64x64 resolution. I think it might be good to use "unit shots" at 128x128 for citizen soldiers and super units, and "portraits" for heroes.I'd also like to have Hero Medallions like this:It's basically a hot button with the hero's portrait. Click it to center and select the hero. Hover for a tooltip to show his stats and status. In a standard game you can only have one hero alive at one time, so there would only be one Medallion. But in custom scenarios where there are more than one hero alive the Medallions could stack from left to right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plumo Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 I like the concept of the hero medallion. Maybe it would be nice to add a health bar to the medallion itself. So without having to hover over the icon, you can see at a glance whether the hero's health is lowering : thus he ( or she) is in danger.

Mythos_Ruler Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 It could even flash when taking damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabio Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 For alpha 3, which will include many new ship features (new nice ships and the Cycladic Arcipelago map), it would be nice if the boatbuilder will be fixed to only be built on coast, users already reported this problem a few times on the forum.Other than that alpha3 is looking nice (is a new faction still planned ?).

Thorfinn the Shallow Minded Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 It could even flash when taking damage.maybe for every unit, if they are under attack, you could feature it like Rome Total War where if they are attacked by arrows, it shows some arrows on the right hand corner and if they are fighting in close-quarters, it would show two swords that are crossed on the right hand corner. You could have the same thing for when they are firing like showing a bow or a javelin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimball Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 (is a new faction still planned ?).Unfortunately no, we won't be including a new faction with Alpha 3. You can expect one to be polished up for either Alpha 4 or 5 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorfinn the Shallow Minded Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 Yes. That's nice to know. Could it by some small chance be the Germans? I have always liked guys like Herman the German. (Arminius) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimball Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 I hate to disappoint, but it'll probably be one of the factions we have planned for. I'll give you a hit to help you narrow it down: it's not the Greeks or Celts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feneur Posted November 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 The Germanic tribes might be included in 0 A.D. part 2, but not in the first part. See the Design Document: http://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/Design_...t#Civilizations for more info on the civilizations included in part 1.

I'll give you a hit to help you narrow it down: it's not the Greeks or Celts. Well, it's better to add a faction that was planned then never add one. As a personal recommendation, I would most like the Persians or Carthaginians to be implemented first, but the Romans or the Iberians would do too.
