Bomber sprites

[unmerged(151142)]

Having installed AoD 1.07 I realized most bomber sprites got messed up. I am not experienced in gfx edit of the game but is it true that it is no longer possible to have different looks for Naval Bomber, Tac Bomber and Strat Bomber, cause it seems they all use one and the same file??? I recall under 1.04 it did work.

the exe changes to support separate sprites for NAV/TAC/STR were implemented in 1.05. however the .spr files weren't updated to refflect the new functionality.

as a result only STR uses the unique nation sprites and TAC/NAV (which previously just piggybacked on the STR sprites) now use a default sprite.

Thanks. Does that mean I could just use my old files renamed (as "T-TACTICAL" and "T-NAVAL" series or do they have to be named otherwise?) and keep the default T-BOMBER for the strategic?

Yes. That's what I have done. And you only need to rename the .spr-files under gfx\maps\units if you want to use the same T-BOMBER sprite for all.
