To tell the truth, I install everything you produce just for the sake of having your work. Given my strategic orientation I don't imagine I'll ever play a game lasting beyond 1946, but if I didn't install the new stuff I'd somehow feel that I'd 'missed out'.

lol, thanks Epa. well, at least Ludwig von Radlmaier http://www.geocities.com/orion47.geo/WEHRMACHT/HEER/Generalleutnant3/RADLMAIER_LUDWIG.html and the younger Hans Schmidt should be ok for you. most come befroe 1945, as i searched the young generals before i went after the ahistorical ones.



@Gaurav252: its not a drop in mod, more a resource package. extract it on your desktop, and if you like eg germany,

- put all the german pics in the right place (gfx/interface/pics),
- and at the bottom there's a CSV for leaders + ministers for GER. these go to (DB/leaders or DB/ministers)

as for the tech team images, thats something to mod yourself.


EDIT: btw you guys downloaded succesfully? somebody had trouble http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum...r-pictures&p=14665866&viewfull=1#post14665866

sorry my internet is very slow ATM and even when it was faster it took me more than two hours to upload this. next version i'll split it up in the tech pics and leaderpics.
for now, sorry i cant help - try use google chrome maybe, iirc its faster than other browsers (at least the fox) - maybe that helps.

you're welcome, just in case you install GER; SOV or FRA make sure you have the Anschluss, purges or Vichy events installed as well.
 
i dont know what you mean with "unfinished". i just checked the colour package and i could download it very well.
 
Alternative Download link added to first post this thread, hope this one works.


gamefront seems to ban half of the world: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=573967

t appears as though Gamefront has banned a long list of countries from using its file upload/download service, which of course has implications for the accessible ways of downloading the mod. Please stay tuned while we address the issue.

which is affcting my project as well, so i added an alternative Download in first post this thread.

its basically v 31 with a few additions, i'll try to remember what has been added since (very few things and i'm not sure if i remember this correctly):

2 TTs for JAP
some PAK leaders (cold war)
some NZL leaders (Air Marshal Keith Park is no more in NZL)
2 ITAs
2 NORs
2 GER Ills
2 ITA Ills
fixed USA mess
some DFR leaders (GERs ahistorical)


and that was it, maybe one or two more - please i need feedback if the new link works



@MihaiROU: hope your issues are solved now

thanks Epa! - its still called v 31 - but there are a few new things in (AST, NZL, PAK, ITA, USA - even DFR and counterfactual GER).

most importantly the british Air Chief Marshal Keith Park was replaced as a NZL land leader (you could meet him in egyt, usually - fixed now).

One more request: I downloaded all your gfx files, the problem is that I have no idea where to put them and I see no instructions on how to place them, and best of all, they don't replace the right files after unpacking them in the main folder either.
If I took time to figure everything out I'd rather make my own gfx MOD. :p
 
Don't unpack them in the main folder, Mihai. Instead, for the leader portraits and Tech Teams choose the nations you want installed, copy the contents of the corresponding folders in the download, and paste them into the AoD/gfx/interface/pics folder.

You'll also want the major's revised csv file and you can find them in the ZZZZZ - CSVs folder of the download. Copy the events, leaders, and ministers folders located there, paste them into the AoD/db folder and permit overwrite.

The tech pics in the download go into the AoD/gfx/interface/tech folder, the skins into the AoD/gfx/interface/skins folder, and I reckon you should be able to find the other folder locations easily enough yourself.

Finally, if it really would be easier for you to make your own graphics mod, the people here are always happy to acknowledge new talent.
 
yes what Epaminondas said is true. this is not really a mod, but a compilation of items you can use. so extract to desktop and choose what you like.
note for Japan and Romania you have to use the b&w pics (see my signature) as well to make it work.


these are thousands of coloured, new, and more accurate men for a lot of countries - i'm not 100% sure but its probably the biggest leader and minister mod for HoI games.

as for the tech teams - these are only the pics without CSV, you can use them how you like them (iirc some Aussies, Kiwis and Japanese were added in the last alternative download)

I realize it's a lot of work done, so yeah maybe not a MOD in the truest sense of the word, but nice anyway, thanks for the answers.

a lot of work indeed, the package took thousands of hours only collecting the images both in libraries and online (not mentioning the painting work, just finding the person, translating descriptions in cyrillic, chinese, japanese, looking for promotion dates and records etc takes a lot of time).

here's a new one for SOV i digged out yesterday: http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?f=36&p=1764797#p1764797


EDIT:
mini preview:



some are new:

thanks Epa, changed 26 leaders CSVs and 18 ministers CSVs within the last two months - seems that a new version should be there before weekend is over :)

EDIT:
