Post by: Dio on August 19, 2013, 03:55:11 PM

This might still need some minor work but for the most part is finished.

Can anyone guess what it is? It should be fairly obvious :P.

In addition, I have made an icon for the talent social bonus. However, it is not in the file I posted.

Could you post a .png version so people can preview, maybe a .png f the originals as well for comparison?

A .jpg or .png format for forum viewing would indeed be nkce.

They look... well... like the original?  ;)
More color diversity?

One change I did make was to replace the industry icon with the one in the instruction booklet. Also, I removed the scan lines.

Wow that's some real dedication.

I remember in the instruction booklet they included showed a Scout Patrol as a group of three units rather than just one. Are you looking into building caviar files too?

Lord, I REALLY wish someone knew how to build .cvr files...

Some people will go ape when they see the new 'probe team' caviar...  ;goofy;

Ah, never had SMAC booklet, so wouldn't know.
And to me the scanlines are part of the gritty atmosphere. ;)

I will put up a copy of the original in the opening post. Also I will make sure that it is in a format viewable with paint.

I can only view attached .pcx files on my desktop (with IrfanView). No such luck on my Android tablet.

Would anyone like to see the alternate faction logos for the original seven?

Here are the Spartans and University Faction files.

He changes faces about once a day.

Dio, I see you left the Archons' bases alone.  I have a set of proto-University ones I reconstructed last year from pre-release screenies.  Interested?
