Re: [Freecol-developers] Background images and illustrations.

[Bryce H. <br...@os...>]

I've set up a CVS module for placing game graphics, called 'graphics'.
I've put Stephen's artwork in there (and reorganized it a bit), as well
as a copy of this email, in case people would like to incorporate map
graphics.  I looked at one of the maps and *wow*, very evocative.  :-)

I also created a CVS module for conceptual art, called 'conceptual',
including scanned in sketches, etc.  Scanned images take up a huge
amount of space, so I figured keeping them separate would help on
bandwidth.

There were some screen captures of Civ2 and Colonization in Stephen's
files, but I wasn't certain of the copyright issues related to posting
them so opted to leave them out of CVS.
