The only Greek alphabet parts I ever got in my nick was back in the 'poly Smacx deomogame: Geo Theta Five IIRC...
So no twins involved.  :D

Okay, that flew over my head.

Oh, I see.
Thing is, I created my avatar a decade ago for the Mars Scenario. His is merely an existing one: Eudaimonia.  :P

That's one of mine, tech066, you're wearing, isn't it?  I'll certainly hook you up with something custom if you care to supply it - or tell me what to make.

AFAIK, its one I created (or more precies, mixed) for the Orbital Industry tech in Mars Scenario.

Right -click>Save picture as, and you'll see the filename.  When did you spend 200 EC on a custom I don't know about?

If you have a custom you want, post it in the Council Room avatar thread, and I'm yer boy.

What I'm saying is that I found my current avatar in the forum's avatar database (and implemented it), but recognized it from the time I made said Mars Scenario.
If you have it in your scenario folder, check the "Techfiles" folder. It's called "tech087.pcx" there.

So no "unauthorized" EC spending happened, my dear  ;morgan; apprentice.  :P

Okay, now I'm arguing for no reason, but I checked your profile and my list of what tech has what symbol, and that's indeed listed as tech066, which should be Advanced Spaceflight.  I downloaded the Mars scenario for the custom factions almost 5 years ago (I liked, btw), but there's only game images, nothing custom beyond matters of style, in that avatar set.  I would think I'd remember making a tech one from another source.

Advanced Spaceflight in SMACX is the rocket with the flare exhaust, but without the opened hands (which come from the Eudaimonia tech).  ;deidre;

Btw, isn't there somewhere a pdf file with the techtree floating on the forum/download database?
Title: Re: HBD Alfapiomega!
Post by: Buster's Uncle on August 15, 2013, 03:26:58 PM
I think so.  Have you looked around for it in our Downloads?

I'm pretty sure it, or something very like it, is at least in Downloads at WPC...

Figured out the source where you got it from: SMAniaC, named as (surprise) tech066. And Maniac had the icon from me.  ;)

Post by: Buster's Uncle on August 15, 2013, 04:35:22 PM
That would indeed be it.  I installed SMAniaC in the dawn of time in the folder I do art from, and I guess not everything ever got cleaned out.  I wonder how many off-model tech icons and such I've done without knowing?


Do we have that tech tree?  If we don't and you run it down, I'd be grateful if you posted to Downloads here.  Same for anything useful and Downloads-worthy.

Didn't find it in the download section. Icons, screenshots, and pictures enough. Even a pdf tech reference file, but no screenshot of the techtree.   :scratch:

Succes. Found 2 pdf's on CivGaming (http://www.civgaming.net/smac/patch.shtml). It's several files, so I prefer to give you the link instead of starting to upload stuff myself.

Now I can play the game and have a tech reference chart on my tablet without tabbing around. :D

Post by: Buster's Uncle on August 15, 2013, 05:40:59 PM
Would someone be willing to do something with those two files for Downloads?  50 EC for posting to Downloads, and another 20 for the Chiron News Network post that automatically goes up for you...

Why my upload quota? *grumble*
Title: Re: HBD Alfapiomega!
Post by: Buster's Uncle on August 15, 2013, 06:19:21 PM
Is there a problem in need of fixing?  I don't know why the quota is there, but I'll expand it if it's a problem for anyone posting good stuff.

Hey man, thanks! :D

Sorry for the late reply, I kind of fell behind everything lately. New job, girlfriend, new place to live, new hobbies... you know the drift  :D
