Elder Futhark Texture Pack for Unreal Tournament 2004
runepack.zip - 143KB
The Elder Futhark (or Elder Fuşark, Older Futhark, Old Futhark) is the oldest form of the runic alphabet, used by Germanic tribes for Proto-Norse and other Migration period Germanic dialects of the 2nd to 8th centuries for inscriptions on artifacts (jewellery, amulets, tools, weapons) and rune stones.
The textures included here provide the set of runes that form the Elder Futhark - a runic alphabet.
They are intended for use as projectors.
These textures are based on a set of public domain images referenced from Wikipedia
The wikipedia images have been resized onto a 256x256 canvas (preserving the aspect ratio of the original image - 150x200). The background of each image was then set to RGB 127,127,127 - a gray that is transparent when used as a projector texture. The runic image is coloured yellow because that is what I needed. If you need a different colour then simply do a colour select of the yellow and then bucket fill with your desired colour.
The images were then exported as 64x64 tga and imported into UEd.
Included in this package is ElderFuthark.utx. Do not include this package in your maps - copy any textures that you need into your map's MyLevel package.
I've included a simple sample map showing each of the textures projected - DM-ElderFutharkSampleMap.ut2
Lastly, I've included all of the master images (256x256) in GIMP xcf format so that you can change the colours of the projected textures and add effects and also the 64x64 tga versions. If your graphic application of choice doesn't read GIMP files then you can find a copy of the GIMP here http://www.gimp.org/downloads/ and then export the files to a more convienient format.
No sounds or detail textures have been assigned as projectors should inherit those from the underlying texture.
The original images were in the Public Domain. The derived images are placed in the public domain (or equivalent if that is not possible in your or my jurisdiction) and may be used for any commercial or non-commercial purpose.
