All New Unit Sprites for HOI

[Goatis68]

I had sent 5 NEW unit spites to Generalisimo and see that he has been kind enough to host them. All are for Germany.

They are as follows:

Mech Infantry
Mot Infantry
lvl 3 Panther
lvl 2 Fw-190
lvl 2 Battleship

I would like to hear what you think and any suggestions or ideas you may have.
Enjoy!

Goatis68 they are awesome. Is there a way you can tell the rest of the modders how you did this that way we can get more people working on creating unit sprites like perhaps a F4U Corsair or a M3 Lee or a Iowa class BB. This is great Good job

Thanks Wedge , I used Paint Shop Pro 5 to create them. Basicly no matter how you look at it they are labor intensive as you have to go frame by frame and get the x-y corodinates right on the money to keep them from appearing jerky, the # of frames to display and so on. Its only nessasary to create 4 veiws and simply mirror them each ie (make a facing W and mirror it for the E view and so on) just use Paradox's palette to get the Transparency. Hope this is helpfull.

Hey wish I could do that stuff bud but I was merly asking so that the others that can do this might now be able to do since you have. This is so awesome I cant wait to see more of your sprites keep up the good work

Very nice job Goatis68........keep them coming

Excellent

These are excellent! This is how it should have shipped! Each country having specific units and tanks unique to that nation.

I appreciate the time involved, this is excellent, I hope this starts a trend!!!

Good work.

This is very good work! Keep it up! Paradox should hire you as their new graphics artist!

GREAT work Goatis68. Love the sprites, been waiting for someone to do something about this for a long time, unfortunately I don`t have the skills myself. Just one little question: The FW190 and the mot. inf. seems to "jump" once every cycle, is this intended or a small slip. If so, would you consider fixing it? Keep up the good work, I would really like to see more sprites from you !!

Could you be a little more specific? ie. are you talking about a new sprite you have made or one of the others?

Maybe you are not using the right colour palette...

Goatis,
Does the Panther A substitute the tiger sprite? Or it only is used with Panther A divs and Tiger still apears in Tiger division?

nachinus, as far as I can tell there are 4 levels for tank spites. I have been looking into this for some time now myself and have yet to figure out the exact cut off point at which one spite is exchanged for the next. Maybe you and the others working on CORE HOI could help shed some light on this? I would like very much to have each model represented by its own sprite. Please let me know if you have any thoughts on this. Thanks

Sprites levels

Hi all

The sprites changes according to if it is a light, medium, or heavy tank. L-1 for light, L-2 for medium so on. Aircraft does that as well, basic, improved and advanced. Currently there is not way for each model to be represented.

One of the reason why sprites don't change when new tech is invented is because many countries don't have their own sprites so they use the C-MIN sprites. However all major countries use their own tag (i.e USA use C-USA), so they don't change at all. It does change when one play as a minor (they all use the MIN tag).

They would change if they all have their own sprites.

Good job,but i think there is a bug with the tiger sprite.To be more specific,it seems to dissapear and reappear at will when moving from one province to the other just like the british tank did in the unpatched version(i.e the paradox graphic).
I dont know if it has anything to do with the gaming speed(extremely fast),but i thought i should mention it.
