Adding new component gfx

Submitted by Lector Rae on Sun, 2007-06-03 12:30. Space Empires V General

It looks straight forward to add new component graphics, but before I went to the trouble of doing some custom stuff I wanted to ask exactly what was involved.

It seems I will need a 128x128px graphic, a 512x512px graphic, but then at the end of the components file there is a big graphic that seems to include all the icons in a smaller format. I'm guessing this is the icon that is used for the ship component placement, and needs to be the correct size (32x32px?). Is this correct?

Thanks!

The minis are 42x42, and yes, you need all 3 sizes of pictures.

Would you like to submit them to the Multimedia Pack for the enjoyment of all?

Wow, I wasn't planning to do anything half as nice as what is in that pack. Not yet, really I was going to recycle some of the gfx (with different coloring) or use some of the facility gfx to create new components. If I put something together that is worth submitting, I will.

I've been experimenting with adding a ship-based Timeline Predictor for Temporal Empires; basically it would function like a ship-board events predictor but I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out how to stack the bonus with other stuff.

Frex; the Master Comp. stacks with Combat Sensors, ECM and the various Religious Totems. I can get my Timeline Predictor to stack with everything but the Master Comp. Seems just the larger of the two bonuses between the Master Comp and the Timeline Predictor is taken. Not a very serious issue, but I tend to design my ships with both a Master Comp and a crew complement for resilancy against both viral and computer weaponry.

Anyway, so I was going to use one of the stock comps that isn't used in SEV, or recycle the gfx for the Master Computer w/ different coloring, or use the Events Predictor facility gfx.

So any help on the stacking issue?

Make sure that the Amount 2 Formula value is unique. IIRC, any components with the same value there have only the best of the group apply. Components with different values there stack.
