emekien sprites pack for HoI2

if you have 3d skills, take a look at DMP10 sprites pack. Maybe you can edit somethings :D

I am going to update the download with BeBro's new naval sprites... however, I have asked permission to include Dr. Rare's sprites as well, and so I'm not going to update the download until I get an answer (or it is 11:00 US central time, at which point I'll just remove them if the answer turns out to be no).

EDIT: ZyKloNuk's mot sprites will also be included.

Hello,
Although i am very flattered to be mentioned in this thread i do not really want my own on going project included in this work as it is a unfinished on going project which means your pack will be out of date every time i make a update to my work and it will lead to much confusion for your pack users. When it is finished in the future it would be better to add it then.

I do thank you for asking prior permission ,although you didnt wait for it. :p :)

It is fine for people though to use my work in there games however they like and to make your/their packs work alongside mine just provide a link to whichever of my work to add.

Dr Rare's Hoi2 Sprite Mod - The Stony Road Forum

The difference between my sprites and other hoi1 conversions is basically loads more sprites,instead of for example all the majors using the same hoi1 militia sprite my pack includes different militia sprite designs for all the majors the same goes for all the rest of my packs.For example my Cavalry Contains separate Cavalry Sprites for GER,SOV,FRA,ENG,USA,ITA,JAP,POL and Minors generic MIN.Also my packs include enhanced Hoi1 sprites and improved Generic min sprites not available in any other hoi1 conversion packs for Hoi2.

Also i thought your point was to make a pack without the hoi1 sprites?All my sprites are just conversions of my hoi1 work?.

You can include my rocket sprite(and icon) in your pack if you like?As it is a finished separate work and not part of my on going project and will not be updated.

Dr Rare's New Hoi2 Rocket Sprite! - The Stony Road Forum

Halibutts sprite project is still unfinished he will probably make a complete set eventually or even quicker if he gets help.

Please feel free to PM me to ask me more/further questions here or at the stony forum.If there is stuff of mine you want to still use even though my project is unfinished ask by PM first what you wish to still use exactly and i will warn you of any impending updates and changes. :)

Good luck and the compendium is a great and :cool: idea

Ok then, I'll remove them and wait for a complete set, since I don't anticipate being able to find enough sprites to replace all of Mod 34's conversions by that time.

Thanks for understanding i am not trying to be difficult i just dont want you going crazy having to change your pack every time i change something in mine.
If you wish to use the garrisons and paratroopers they are not going to be updated so are safe to include,but the bergsjaeger are getting a new Italian alpini sprite version soon.

Great! I'll include those, since your garrisons actually have attack animations (I got quite annoyed by Mod 34's conversions habit of turning into infantry when they were in combat), and currently the paratroopers look the same as mountaineers, so I'm glad to be able to include those as well. I'll update the download shortly.
 
The download has now been updated with Dr. Rare's Paratrooper and Garrison sprites.

Gah! I just realized that I forgot to add his rocket sprite as well! I guess since not many people use rockets I can get away with it until the next time I update (meaning that I won't update over just 1 sprite).
 
Well, I attempted to make a Chinese infantry sprite (CivIII conversion following Halibutt's instructions)... but it didn't turn out too well. However I'll keep trying, so hopefully we'll get a new Chinese infantryman soon.
 
could you guys please help me a bit? I've searched quite long for new sprites from stonyroad site but haven't found much. :eek:

-I'm now searching new infantry sprites.
What I would like for Germany, needs to have 3 men in the sprite and it should include a machine gun, mg34 or mg42. Atleast a new sprite with 3 men in it, and of the normal HoIDD size class. The uniforms could be the feldgrau or some kind of autumn camouflage.

-Mountain- para and marine divs I'd like with similar requirements, 3 men and of the normal size. It would be nice to have the mountains in winter camouflage. For marines, it would be awesome to have somekind of naval camouflage, bluish grey.

-For tank division sprites I'd REALLY like to have a kingtiger, a normal tiger or a pantherSomething like this?

-I already have wonderful mot- and mech sprites from some guy, Zyklonuk I think.

-I also have new air sprites.

-Some cool naval sprites would also be needed, the normal HoIDD naval sprites look totally horrible.

Unfortunately, all of the sprites here only have 1 soldier... personally, I'd like to have more too, but since I'm not the one who made them I just have to accept it.

Our panzer, on the other hand, is like the one you have a picture of, except that it doesn't have the camouflage coloring (it is just like the color underneath the camouflage though).

For naval sprites you should use BeBro's naval sprites. They are far, far better than any other naval sprite that I have seen for HoI2 (and they're in the compendium).

Actually, now that I think about it, you might try DMP's infantry and mountain sprites for the 3 men to a sprite. I think that they have it, and while I'd like to include some of their work, I find it unlikely that they'd allow me to include it, considering the security required just to download (have to join their forum).

Well, I guess I'll have to do with the vanilla infantry. But I'm kinda interested in these tank and mountain sprites you mentioned, are there any pics available? :)

Sure:

Picture of DMP Sprites (this would be for your mountain and infantry sprites)

The German tank sprite is in the first post of this thread, 4th screenshot, in Argentnan.
 
I have just updated the download. This will be v0.5 (even though I don't know how many versions we've gone through so far, this is v0.5).

I am also starting to make a TRP-compatible version by trimming down the number of sprites to deal with lag. Hopefully I'll finish that this weekend.
 
Fantastic, I think Dr Rare has the most comprehensive range of infantry sprites but they are a bit too small in Doomsday.

I have been trying to make my own soviet sprites with little success so far.

Can't wait to see yours. I love the German sprites from Halibut.

Thank you,for your acalade :) Many nice things said about me in this thread.Although i have hardly even started to convert all the sprites i have made for hoi1(over 50) so far only the Majors have been done.

Yes i agree the conversions of the hoi1 sprites do look smaller in Hoi2/DD/Arm but they look very much more to scale.because if you use the hoi1 soldier conversions mixed with hoi2 size Tanks and planes it actually looks like the soldier sprites could be run over or they look more scared :eek: when facing the tanks and Mech troops etc ,which is why i think they look cool together. :D

Dr Rare's Hoi2 Sprite Mod - The Stony Road Forum

Dr Rare
 
I'll be releasing Compendium v.6 just as soon as I get it packaged, and I'll have some new screenshots hopefully soon thereafter (the current ones are woefully out of date, since they reflect the original compendium).

The new sprites that will be included are Dr. Rare's Soviet Infantry and Militia sprites, which are far superior to the current ones.


And as a preview for Compendium v.7 I'd like to add US infantry, which I'm going to try to convert from Civ3 this weekend.

I just realized that I never answered this question. My intend was to make a pack without the Paradox default HoI1 sprites (those I got from Mod 34). Your sprites are both more numerous and often different, and so I don't consider them HoI1 sprites that need replacing.
