So here are they - new ships sprites for most Ricky naval units.

As shown in the preview below, the pack contains new sprites for frigates, manowars, monitors, ironclads, clipper and steamer transports, pre-dreadnoughts and dreadnoughts. I left out subs. Also I haven't found a way to make different sprites for the different cruiser types work, so they all - even BCs and CAs - get the PC sprites. As mentioned in the other thread, if someone knows if there's a possibility to give them unique sprites please let me know. All the sprites are generic, so all nations get the same. Maybe I add nation-specific ships later, but let's see....

Preview




Download v2 (updated with four additional PDN sprites 9 June 2009)

Preview of PDNs in v2:


Installation

1. I'd recommend to make backups since the pack will overwrite the original ship sprites (except for subs), incl. their spr, bmp files and also their palette files. Otherwise you have to reinstall V/Ricky to get them back if you want.

2. Unzipping should create a folder called "gfx". Simply drop the "gfx" folder in your main game folder "..\Victoria" and all files should be automatically moved to the neccessary destination from there, so you should be ready to play then.

3. Please note: I made those under Ricky, and I don't have a vanilla Vicky installation to check if they work there as well. If both Ricky and Vicky use identical sprites it should work for both, but as said I can't guarantee it. Ricky users otoh should have no probs, if there are still any, please post them.

They're amazing :eek:

Great job, BeBro :) !
 
superb job! :cool:

I hope for all of us those those other ships can be differentiated in the future, maybe another time now that the source code has been released.
 
Thx :)

Maybe if someone playing vanilla Vicky would try them out and post here so that I can be sure they work there as well? Of course, making backups before is strongly recommended then.
 
Wow. Great work, I like.

Maybe they would make a nice VIP addition?


Edit: I love the ST-TP.

There are two different cruiser sprites in the game already - so it should be possible at least to adapt one of them to Battlecruisers to differentiate those

The T-Heavy_Cruiser tag doesn't seem to work, while I know there's a P'dox sprite using it does not seem to get displayed. Even with the vanilla units my CAs were displayed as PCs

ps Is it possible to make new sprites for land divisions? :confused:

I guess it is, thought there seems to be not so much variety. You have only inf, cav and dragoons, while I'm unsure if cav and dragoons can have own sprites at all.
 
These are great! :D
 
Fantastic job. Talk to Tyrel64 and I'm sure he'll add them to his VIP graphics pack.

I've just installed these, and I'm very happy with them. Just one small concern, I find it a little harder to distinguish between the types. Perhaps you could change the red colour to a different one for each type.

Which do you find most hard to distinguish? I personally got used to it very quickly, but then I made the whole pack. Maybe I can redo some, but it will take some time before I get an update out (like with the sub).

Hmm, I honestly don't remember now, I think it was the raider and the ironclad. But its not a big problem, I ahven't seen anyone else complain. It'll properly be easier once I get used to them
