Teams: Custom Leaderheads

Jon Shafer · November 23, 2002, 22:55

In addition to custom civ descriptions (name, noun, adjective, etc.), we can also have custom leaderheads. If you want to have one, then just ready all of the files so that the person starting the game (or someone who sets the game up) can simply put all of the submitted files into a folder with the original .BIX file, and have the .BIX find it through the pathfinding within PTW.

Post everything in a folder that can be put inside of the main demo game folder, then ZIP that up into a .ZIP file, and upload it to this thread.

Thanks for your time.

Woo Hoo, now we just have to decide what we's wants it to look like.......

Zero · November 24, 2002, 14:19

Lux should be represented by...

Zero · November 24, 2002, 14:24

or....

Spiffor · November 24, 2002, 14:28

I say Toji's da man !

I can't wait to see Toji's smiling face say "My Words Are Backed Bith Nuclear Weapons"

Zero · November 24, 2002, 19:48

Too bad not many like you is in my team.... Only if you could have a say in our leaderhead

Apocalypse · November 24, 2002, 20:02

Or we could have Misato....

Ninot · November 24, 2002, 20:17

i WILL stab someone if the RP team gets an Anime representation

i will

Spiffor · November 24, 2002, 20:28

You mean you could stab people with, like, Trigun's avatars ?

I knew we'd have an anime team

Jon Shafer · November 24, 2002, 20:37

Zero · November 24, 2002, 21:50

Well, Trip's avatar is anime (sort of), Apoc's and I also have anime avatar, so you see why we are pushing anime logos in our team alot.

Jon Shafer · November 24, 2002, 21:52

Well Chrono Trigger's characters were designed by Akira Toriyama, so that's close enough.

Arnelos · November 24, 2002, 23:02

Ninot,

I'm pretty sure that our team intended to keep our current avatar. If we bothered to ever change avatars, it would be strictly to another major figure in Spanish history (if we bothered, which we almost certainly will not, it would likely be to a male such as Phillip II or Charles V or even El Cid or something like that).

this isnt about avatar, its about Leaderhead

I have the Ninot coat of arms at my disposal... the actual coat of arms of the actual Ninot family of actual Spain. THAT will be my avatar thankyou. VERY RP-like

but for our Civ's leaderhead... if we were to choose like Lux is doing, i would have to get STABBY if we decided on an Anime figure.

Arnelos · November 24, 2002, 23:55

whatever... I meant leaderhead, not avatar

Zero · November 25, 2002, 00:19

wat IS your leaderhead gonna be?

.....the default Issabella for Spain?

ZargonX · November 25, 2002, 01:50

Fear not, Legolanders; thanks to a dynamic combination of a digital camera, strong pack-rat tendencies, and some image editing software, I'll have some sample leader heads for us tomorrow...

jdjdjd · November 25, 2002, 15:37

I agree with Ninot, none of these anime thingamajigs. I mean, maybe change Isabella to Simpsonesque character, but no anime.

ZargonX · November 25, 2002, 18:09

Ok, I present Legos the Wise, v1.0...

Spiffor · November 25, 2002, 18:43

Wow

How did you do this ?

GodKing · November 25, 2002, 18:49

For us on the RP... why not ask GF for one of his "Isabela's"..... I wouldn't mind looking at them.... of course, I don't think togas would look anything like them.... oh well.

Arnelos · November 25, 2002, 23:04

For RP Team: We should keep the default Isabella unless we want to switch to a male Spaniard.

Zero · November 25, 2002, 23:28

Oh C'mon Arnelos, join in on the fun.... You gotta mod your leaderheads!

History Guy · November 26, 2002, 00:01

Well, I am against custom leaderheads. I for one am not downloading this things. I've got too little room on my PC already.

Zero · November 26, 2002, 00:02

Wouldn't the save game crash if it can't find custom leaderheads?
HG, we are mostly talking small jpg files anyway...

History Guy · November 26, 2002, 00:07

So...we'd have no choice in the matter if we wanted to play? I don't think that this is very democratic.

Default should be kept. Anything else is a waste. Silly, and taking up too much space.

If the leaderheads are named the same as the current ones, then it won't crash.

So if people name stuff right, then it will be completely optional whether to have the custom leaderheads or not.

Zero · November 26, 2002, 01:18

True, then we wont have to face crashes but that would mean players who want to mod will have to replace the originals no? I'm still not familiar with how PTW tracks its scenario files... Either way the discomfort should be on the modder's side not the default users side... I respect this.

Darekill · November 26, 2002, 03:40

If i wasn't already much too deep in Demogyptica i'd choose Legoland, alone because of this Leaderhead! It's just way to
