Oh yes, the secret weapons of the Reich!

I do like how he added in the other flags. That's great.

Haven't heard from him since he posted this.

I'm here, I just had to sleep for 8 hours or so. :D

The white cats are actually reflections of the naval officers on the table, which look like they are reflecting on the motorcade pic. I'll send the files now.
 
I like it, don't get me wrong. But I have a couple of questions.

Isn't it a bit dark? Or is the posted image darker than the real thing? And where's the version number for CORE? :)

I agree, it is a bit dark. I've brightened the picture by 20% and it looks better. I'll send the brighter images on Monday at work.

As for the version number, I'll need to know what it is before I can put it on the image. :)
 
I know I am in a wrong place but could you redirect to someone whom I could give pics of yugoslav leaders?
Or an email(that would be the best).Cant find apropiate topic for this(or I am just blind).

Gee liked those Hoi sprites for yugo,those french ones.
Hehehe those ethiopian ones are kinda funny.Loking like some hobo's with rifles(those rifles really look great compared to other sprites) :)
Or like the just got from pijama party. :)

Another thing: is CORE 064 compatible with november leaders and ministers pack?
Readme file says that v0.6 isnt,but is this one?

Check out the Leader Modification thread in Scenarios and modifications. Birch is the man to talk to about leader pics and files. He's doing yet another revamp of all files.

And no, the November pack is not compatible with 0.64. V0.7 will be.
 
The way things have been working, he will put out another leader pack 3 or four days before 0.7 is scheduled to be released meaning that we will have to renumber all of the events before the release. :D MDow

Oh, it's gonna be worse than that. ALL the elections will be events now, and not in the mnister files. Can't wait for that nightmare to begin... :wacko:
 
Need testers

I have done a big overhaul to the mapcolors and counters (mainly South America and Orient). I need a few counter-users to give me feedback. PM me with your email address and I'll send out a small ZIP file.

If China had a color...

If China could have it's own unique mapcolor, what would/should that color be, in your opinion?

I simply don't have the capacity to get another mapcolor in there; it would have to be a hardcoded thing. But if it were ever to occur (I asked Johan for a few more colors), what would you color China? Remember this is Nationalist China, not Red China.

Fonts, fonts, fonts

Well, looks like one of my next projects will be to create a new font style for HoI. Gwalcwai has done one of his fonts in, I think, Garamond. I liked the look of it.

So what font would you folks like to see in HoI? Some fonts might not display well as smaller fonts, so that is the big issue/restriction.

Hey Phil;

Let me weigh in on several items now that i've played through v0.64 a few times.

1. counter / map colors: i like yours. nice change. ditto someone else's comment earlier about same as 3rd Reich.

Yellow/Orange or an Orange/Red assuming JAP stays pale yellow. IIRC and this is tough for me as i am quite color-blind, the red in the ROC flag is quite a bit different than the PRC red, more to the orange side.

I like LUCIDA style for these type of presentations, char spacing is a bit wider [like garamond] and the letters a bit rounder so that when you get to smaller font [say 6 or even 4], it is still readable. Also short ascenders and decsenders which is also nice for tight frame packing [you don't need as much border]

Only issue i have now with the CORE graphics is the province upgrade sprite. it looks like a long thin line on my screen. Changing the HOI default is definitely a good thing as that was too small, but ....

thanks Phil for some excellent work ...
 
Did any of my little crew of graphics guys get the ZIP file via their email?

Or do I just really, really have to be pissed with Yahoo?

GroFaz - I guess so; I haven't had anything to do with them. It's a format issue, I think. It does look silly at times.

For those with Wiki access - I have posted many preview images there in the GFX Mods section. Check it out and offer your thoughts.

Hello everyone,

Just letting you know that the new load, startup, and lose screens are ready for v0.7. I probably won't have enough time to upload the files on-line, but we'll see.

Thanks, Cairo. You can email them to me if you'd like (Steel has some problems with his ISP) and I'll pass them over to the group.

My email is in the email thread of the CORE forum.
