So many great ideas, so little time

Those bombed out houses are excellent work! You've given me a few new ideas for the single-hex stone- and wood- building files.

How about some Korean War type structures, heh, heh?!

Harry, if I didn't know better I would say it looks like CL has inspired you.

J think that Harry is the reincarnation of Michelangelo Buonarroti.

If you wish to ask him to paint the Giudizio Universale he certainly paint it.

You are a great artist Harry and a very good friend too.

Bravissimo

Sergio:)

Harry,
I just noticed that the icons in the top row of the photo cast shadows, while the same icons in the bottom row do not. How will they display in the final release?

didn´t you open the example map that I sent to you?

seriously...I just wanted to show how the shapes can be used. There are two ways. First is you can simply place the Ter86 and Ter90 shapes in Mixed terrain and then they simply look like the bottom row. If placed in Tree hexes (thus replacing tree graphics, BUT not tree attribute) they get the nice shadow effect as seen in top row of screenshot. Only Tree and house/bridge attributes, combined shapes put into layer 5 and 6 produce the shadows in SPWAW!

Here´s more info in PDF format:

bombed out row houses are now finished for all zoom levels. Combining them with the new (and old) rubble graphics makes great looking bombed out cities.

Well...maybe it´s not really a well chosen time adding them now, due to current events in middle east...

No, I didn't get a chance to check that map out yet. Almost all my free time has been spent finishing up the building files (61, 82 & 83); I'm so far behind in my PBEM turns that I think my opponents have formed a lynch-mob!

I have a few more SP-Fixes to do in the z1 and z2 levels in Ter61; should finish them tonight.

Holy $&#%!! Where did this list come from!?! Looks like I won't be finishing up everything tonight.

Well, I've resumed a Korean War mod for WAW/H2H that I started a while ago, since I finally came across enough info to resume, and was wondering, if you guys were into it, could you come up with some Asian-looking buildings, mostly hovel types, but also for towns also, also they have these burial mounds of earth over there, I saw them all over the place, they believe burying your relatives in a raised mound gets them closer to heaven, or something like that. Although, we could just use a hill with rough I guess, but they are only about 8' high, IIRC, it's been 18 years since I was last there!!

this list is not mine, it´s mostly from user feedback in this old thread:

showthread.php?s=&threadid=6931

Nonetheless....I added a crane and a SM81 cargo airplane for Sergio and Don Doom contributed with some nice dragon teeth graphics.

Tracer..I leave it to you whether you take stuff from the list and add them to Ter83 or 85!

I´m mostly busy with non-building stuff, although i finished a complete set of ruined row houses and also some nice little castle.

here it is:

some screenshot of the finished rowhouse stuff:

RockinHarry · Post by **RockinHarry** » Tue Mar 25, 2003 7:32 pm

and the alley trees, or how do you call tree lined roads in the US?

Price question: How many dead cows do you see in this picture?
