Surrealistic Ruins mod - 8/26/2012 12:57:59 PM

I just wanted to share with you planet's ruins mod I use. I didn't enjoy vanilla's "earth" based images of ruins very much, so I replaced them with amazing and myserious paintings of Polish artist Zdzisław Beksiński, which I found in internet. Concerning the game's atmosphere I feel these images look much better than original ones.
I didn't get his permission (as he already has passed away) so please let me know if I violate any copyrights here by uploading this mod.

Installation
Just unzip the archive into your "Distant Worlds\images\environment\ruins" folder.
(Before replacing you may want to backup original files)

Strange, I just downloaded and unpacked it myself. Everything was fine.
Maybe the problem is that I used 7zip with LZMA method?

OK, please try another one with Deflate compression algorithm.

thank you very much.

In regards to Theluin's previous post,
I as well could not insert 3, 7 and 10 but with the new download you offered the problem is resolved.

The art really stands out and simple to copy.

Thanks again Martian.

Though I know you do not own the Copyright to any of these pictures and reshaping them is not considered a permutation to obtain a passive copyright I still want to ask you if I can include them as a standard in my GW II mod.

As long as it helps anyone to enjoy more this already great game I have no objection for people to freely use these images in their mods.
