Mythos_Ruler Posted July 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Based on this site, http://spokensanskrit.de/, which was has been mentioned before in this thread, the best translation I can find, transliteration in parenthesis, for Worker Elephant is Karmakara Gaja (karmakara gaja) and for Elephant Stable is Varanazala (vAraNazAlA) (I am not sure if the next to last character is an capital i or a lowercase l). Someone else should be able to come up with a better translation with these as a starting point.Thanks, I have added these names for now, unless we find something better.

Zeta1127 Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) Ah, I knew there was more to using that translator than meets to eye, here are slightly better translations with diacritics, Worker Elephant is Karmākara Gaja and Elephant Stable is Vāraṇaśālā. No wonder my previous translations were wierd. Edited July 19, 2012 by Zeta1127 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeta1127 Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) I don't know the Greek word for battering ram, and I don't have Trac permissions to delete this page. Poliorki̱tikós Kriós is the best translation I can find for battering ram in Greek.I don't know what the best choice for Edict Pillar of Ashoka would be, but I think Pillar of Ashoka may be a better choice for the generic name. Also, there are a lot of options for both edict and pillar, but whatever translation used will most likely contain Aśokā, since that is indeed the correct translation of Ashoka in Sanskrit.

Instead you should remove all internal links to the page and put a notice on the page saying that the page is old with a link to the correct page.

quantumstate Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 I'd actually like to have it redirect.This is unfortunately impossible without installing a plugin for trac. Someone opened a trac ticket a while back which I found on a web search when writing the previous reply . Putting up a big notice (even deleting the content if you really want to) should do well enough though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeta1127 Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) Based on the previously mentioned site, http://spokensanskrit.de/, the best translation I can find for Edict Pillar of Ashoka to Sanskrit is Śāsana Stambha Aśokā. Apparently, there isn't a specific translation for the word "of" in Sanskrit, and I can't find a translation with "of" in context with pillar or Ashoka.

Mythos_Ruler Posted July 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Here is a picture of a corral I've been working on:The textures on the building are a serious work in progress, I can make them look a lot better if this were to be used.A good start. Perhaps some kind of wall/railing or something along the back and sides of the superstructure and then a wooden gate in the front of it. Then the rest of the fence should be a little more irregular.

Josh Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 Sorry I haven't gotten much more done on this, (I've been on vacation and school just started) but I still do intend to finish the corral. Also, thanks for the pointers Mythos_Ruler! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimball Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Great start. I love the simplicity of your corral. Was the wood craftsmanship that precise though? The fence looks just a little too perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pureon Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Great start Kimball! Glad to have you back working on unit textures, even if it is for a very short time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythos_Ruler Posted August 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Try to match the skin color of the existing temp Mauryan unit textures. And maybe some "cloth" folds and such in the fabric. Other than that, looking nice.Edit: The back of the neck (shirt collar, necklace) should drop deeper than that.Last Edit: Unit textures are 256x256. No bigger. I can't tell you how much 512x512 is overkill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that enough for a welcome back? Plus, everything done is something done, whether it's a lot or a little (at least as long as it's good quality so it won't have to be redone, but your stuff is good.)

MishFTW Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 I'm giving the Mauryan docks a shot. I'll post concepts soon. Any architectural references would help. Kind of blind without those (in terms of historical accuracy). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

om_rahul Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 "Lothal Dock" first dock of world : it's a prominent dock in indus valley civilization. .It was a vital and thriving trade centre in ancient times, Mauryans were the first attested attempt to organize a navy in India and used to send massive diplomatic missions to Greece, Syria, Egypt, Cyrene, Macedonia and Epirusthis is latest picture and it destroyed. Now this dock is come under in indian monument preservation, not used this days.For architect reference "in paragraph: dock and warehouse" = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lothal and other thing I have'nt found any photo of old India docks don't use woods like foreign country, but they are made of stone stairs and big ships stops beside the dock.

MishFTW Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 I was using those as a reference Stone steps like the ones found Varanasi could also work.I think we should wait for Eggbird to finish the CC and struct texture which the dock will use before starting any other building models.I'm just doing basic concepts. I have no intention to UV wrap or fine tune Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
om_rahul Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 I was using those as a reference I watched many old movies, but in that i mostly found no dock or if their is dock, It is made of stone stairs. In google most of the docks pictures are of birtish empire (after 1750 AC). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
