This repo contains the art assets for the Final Frontier Plus project.
Why are they in version control? Perhaps they shouldn't be, but I don't know of a better way to organize them.
For best results, you should use Firaxis's PakBuild (or another program which knows how to create Civ4-style FPK files).
You can find PakBuild here: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=136023 And a tutorial on it here: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=297865
Because the above workflow is a little sad, and because the PakBuild.exe tool supports command line options for building, I wrote a little script that I called "AutoPak". (autopak.vbs). It's included.
To build, just run it. You need to be on Windows; it's in VBScript because that seemed better than Python for something that was going to be Windows-only anyway.
AutoPak downloads PakBuild from CFC (so it doesn't need redistribution) and invokes it using the right command line options to fpk up everything in the current directory. The output file is FFPak0.fpk by default; for the art in this repository I recommend renaming the file to FFPak1.fpk.
The above workflow has been made even better; if you just want to get a FFPak that currently has everything in git master, you can use the following link. This file is automatically built using PakBuild.exe, wine, and Travis CI.
We'd love for you to contribute art. If you're submitting art, please also either tell us what it's for, or (even better) submit a pull request against the main repository with updated art define XML to use your new art. Otherwise there isn't much point in collecting it here.
Final Frontier Plus is as "open source" as a mod of a proprietary video game can get. In a nutshell that means you are welcome to use any assets (code, art, etc.) created by Final Frontier Plus contributors in other Civilization IV mods (or elsewhere, should you really want to).
Firaxis and 2K own Civilization 4.
"Final Frontier" is a scenario created by Jon Shafer for Civilization IV: Beyond the Sword when he was employed by Firaxis Games.
"Final Frontier Plus" is an unofficial modification built by TC01 and God-Emperor, among other contributors (Please see the CREDITS.txt file in the main repo).
None of the above parties are liable for any damages caused by any part of Final Frontier Plus.
