Great source of sprites!!!

Here´s a preview pick of the Gladiator:

http://www.geocities.com/nachinus/Preview_Gladiator.bmp

It´s a part of the fight animation, the best of the animations, because the move and stand animations were very poor. I found that this is common to all Civ3 plane sprites, unlike infantry and armor sprites whose animations sometimes are really good.

It will be finished very soon, it will replace L1 fighter (gladiator model) for ENG, leaving Spitfire sprite (original one) for level2 and superior (hurricanes to jetfighters). The installation zip file will make this so you won´t need to rename the original sprite files)

Great job on the Gladiator. Man, oh, man... these are going to look very good.

Thanks again for all your efforts!

Thanks, DrVonCool

I´ve finished the Gladiator, and i will release it as soon as i get an answer from the modder who made it for Civ3. You know, i wouldn´t release it without his permision.

What ive done:

-Adapted the sprite to work in HoI
-Added some animations to stand and walk animations (Civ3 planes are very rigid). But bon´t expect nothing spectacular.
-Completely recoloured the sprite (it was grey and didn´t look as a combat plane)
-Added the RAF symbols.

I hope you like it.

Once again... some great sprites. My hats off to you... nice to see the Japanese get a new tank sprite!

What else have you looked at for converting from the Civ3 library?

Thanks, but 95% of the work is by Kinboat, the Civ3 modder. I only adapted the sprite and used frames from different animations to create the stand animation, that didn´t exist in the Civ3 sprite.

I´m working in the M3G Japanesse tactical bomber, it´s not going bad, the quality is acceptable, and i´m using some animation pro effects to make the animations more dinamic than those in Civ3. If you like it, maybe i´ll do the B25 Mitchell and the Bristol Beaufighter.
