GFX for units and attachments

[PANGI]

Yeah, you're right. Though when you look for historic pics of monitors/ironclads the distinction isn't always clear....

However, thx for providing a fix for vanilla.

People can use this right away, just save, load into any gfx software or image viewer capable of saving BMPs and save as "units.bmp" into ..\Victoria\gfx\Interface

You're almost right. Both pictures are ironclads, but one without sails (gunboat) and one with (ocean-going type).

Monitor's specification is revolving turret. But too little number of monitors have sails, so the first picture better symbolize monitor.

But if somebody want use that pictures as fix he will need this one too (units_small.bmp):

wow, these are awesome!

 

[Emp_Palpatine]

Great work.
Would be even greater if it was changed to be national-specific, such as red-pants for French, red coats for british, etc...
But I don't know if it's possible with Vicky game engine.

exellent, really makes it feel complete

I apologize to bump this thread, but could anyone re-upload the GFX icons for Ricky? The Rapidshare link is expired and somehow I never made any success with Megaupload, with or without its toolbar.

Thanks before.

save them as BMP and put them inside "Victoria\GFX\Interface" and Vóila!

Thanks. I've tried it just now, however, judging it goes with some units having no pictures at all, I presume they're for vanilla? I'm playing Revolution.

Is the GFX for Revolution available? Thanks.

Sorry for the trouble.

Ye, I think Rapdishare's link is working again, btw..

 

[Raden Shaka]

Yup, it is. Now I can use this cool GFX into play! Thanks, Prinz Wilhelm.

BeBro, your graphic rocks!

This looks much better than vanilla. Thank you BeBro.

There's now an update *exclusively for Ricky* available that replaces the generic ship models (like BB I-III, CV I-III etc.) from the first version with unique ship icons for each model. Since - afaik - only Ricky has these models with individual icons I did not make a Vicky version.

Download:

Preview:


Both dl link and preview are also edited into the first post of this thread. Installation is as described there.

Note: besides the "normal" unit pics there's a small addition in the zip with French land units. To use it you need to rename it to standard Ricky filenames "units.bmp" and "units_small.bmp". I made them a while ago to test if Ricky supports country-specific gfx sets for unit icons, but it didn't work, so I did not do further work for other nations. Still, maybe some like the French set more than the standard one with German and British land units. Ships are the same in both sets.

These are Great, I did a fresh install the other day, Revelations/VIP etc, These will come in a treat!!

Thanks mate for your troubles!!

edit; Just had a peek, Wish you could of made some red-coats

Now that I play Ricky more intensely again I decided that I simply can't see those ships anymore. The sailships look ok, but the steamers, and esp. the later big guns look rather bad. So I'll do a couple of ship sprites during the next days. Here's a small preview:



Are V/Ricky users interested in those or d'you all use counters? I know they're faster, but I can't stand them. One question though - is anybody aware if there are major differences between Vicky and Ricky sprite-wise? I never played vanilla, only Ricky. If they use the same ship sprites those I'll make will of course work for both.

 

[cool-toxic]

That's great BeBro ! Will definitely add alot to the game. Eyecandy always does.

I always play with sprites, I just can't stand the look of the counters. This ship looks magnificent! I don't think Ricky added any sprites. And please, fix the so-called "Steamer transport" which looks like an Mississipi river steamer.

I most certainly do use the sprites. I would love to see some new sprites particularly because the difference between PDN's & BB's and PC's & Cl's is quite hard to make out sometimes. Which incidentally is the beef I had with the naval unit icons also.

This is certainly on my list

I'll certainly have different PDNs and DNs. For others I have to figure out if the game displays different sprites for all types, for example PCs, CLs and even BCs seem to use the same sprite. I have to test if they can use unique ones.

 

[unmerged(42723)]

Oh, could someone do me a small favour: please load two files into an editor like notepad and post the contents here. The two fles I mean are in
..\Victoria\gfx\map\units

From there I'd need:
T-MANOWAR A-FIGHT C-MIN L-1 D-NE.SPR
T-MANOWAR A-FIGHT C-MIN L-1 D-SW.SPR

Because I accidently edited these (which were meant to be unchanged) and so have wrong values now in there. I'd rather want to avoid a complete re-install to get them back since its only some numbers that need to be fixed....Thanks in advance.

 

[Oorlog]

Sprite = {
Bitmap = "T-MANOWAR A-FIGHT C-MIN L-1 D-SW.bmp"
Origin = { x = 44 y = 47 }
Frames = 24
Speed = 5
Palette = "T-MANOWAR C-MIN L-1.bmp"
}


Sprite = {
Bitmap = "T-MANOWAR A-FIGHT C-MIN L-1 D-NE.bmp"
Origin = { x = 46 y = 51 }
Frames = 21
Speed = 5
Palette = "T-MANOWAR C-MIN L-1.bmp"

Thanks a lot.
