Which nations do you play when that happens? Or does it happen for all?
Has somebody else the same trouble?
You can copy all the .spr files of the German mech, then rename them with the country tag ITA
- look in \HOI Doomsday\gfx\map\units for the spr files
- copy all .spr files starting witih T-MECHANIZED and C-GER in it (these should be 17 files)
- remove the "copy of", then replace C-GER with C-ITA
Example:
T-MECHANIZED A-WALK C-GER L-1 D-N.spr
should be copied and renamed to
T-MECHANIZED A-WALK C-ITA L-1 D-N.spr
Then both Ger and Ita will use the same mech inf sprite.

I am having issues getting the MODHOI to load up and allow me to download these awesome sprites.
I keep getting Can't find page errors for the MODHOI stuff. And the Fileshare thing is blocked by the Army's web security, hell I am lucky to be on this forum right now, so I am not able to get them, really would like too.
The joys of internet in Iraq...

Hm, sorry to hear that - I just tried ModHoi and all downloads came up immediately...maybe you try it again after a while?
@Berbro - are you planning to do some tank sprites? I recently (and accidently) found out that separate sprites for light tanks do work, and remembered you were considering doing separate sprites for them...
Do you happen to know where one could find them in downloadable form? On their site I can only see the preview and their forum is in German...BeBro said:
Different Sprites for light and medium tanks would indeed be awesome!Borsook said:

Try http://www.heartsofiron.eu/frameset_en.htm as suggested, hit the DMP tab, and then go to DMP-Mods for HoI2 - Preview and Download. It's in English and I think the DMP-Mod 8.1 is probably the one you're after. The download is the floppy disk icon.

I meant "Despite allready beeing available on the old homepage, the DMP-Mods for Doomsday were removed." I got the sprite pack for hoi2 but the one for DD is still not avalaible, so I thought that maybe somebody knows of a mirror from the 'old site'?Epaminondas said:
Sorry, I think I must still be misunderstanding. The completed mods for DD are available at the new site (http://www.heartsofiron.eu/frameset_en.htm), but as far as I'm aware no sprites for Doomsday have ever been released. Maybe I missed them.
Ok, from what has been said about "motorcycle cavalry" here I assumed that they have been released, then removed untill a fuller sprite pack is complete... but that was just an assumption on my part...Epaminondas said:

Thought about this a while ago, but I had the impression that light tanks aren't used that much....anyway, I'll continue to work on some units for certain minor countries. These can be several different types, for example I have a tank and a fighter for Hungary. But as said due to lack of free time work is very slow now.
I'd say it's partially true... If you play e.g. an aggressive game as italy (i.e. start war in 1936) you'll have around 3-4 years of light tanks to look atBeBro said:
Also playing as a smaller country you might use them even until '41...PS. thinking about it a bit more - maybe we'd need sprites for L_Arm for everyone except Germany, Uk, SU, USA etc?

hi bebro i would like to ask you to make paratrooper marine and mnt sprites so that they could be recognized on map (very helpfull on MP games), i had an idea simply to draw a banner or symbol for regular inf sprite in corner (parachute, mountain) so the regular inf sprite would be seen on map with mnt or para symbol is it dificult to do? bcs i have no idiea how to make this kind of modification i thought i could ask u
The DMP sprites for HOI2 have separate sprites for MTN, PARA etc troopsTIRO_ said:hi bebro i would like to ask you to make paratrooper marine and mnt sprites so that they could be recognized on map (very helpfull on MP games), i had an idea simply to draw a banner or symbol for regular inf sprite in corner (parachute, mountain) so the regular inf sprite would be seen on map with mnt or para symbol is it dificult to do? bcs i have no idiea how to make this kind of modification i thought i could ask u

At the moment I haven't even enough time to realize my own ideas....so please don't be disappointed when I don't accept further requests.
I personally don't want to make any (foot) infantry or cavalry sprites. As for the banner/symbol - if you're familar with the basics in software like Photoshop or PaintshopPro it should not be difficult to do. Load one of the inf gfx, you'll see a BMP stripe with all the frames for one direction next to eachother. Paint the symbol into the first, cut it out, copy/paste it into all other frames in the same position, then save as BMP again. Repeat that for all BMP stripes of the unit you want to change (could take some time though).
Remember that inf sprites are generic (unless you have additional modded stuff installed) so the symbol/banner you add goes for the inf units of all nations.
but how to make that sprite with banner in corner would be used only to paratrooper divisions and with other baner uesed with marines and simple infantry sprite would be unchanged? is it posible?
Name them T-PARATROOPER instead of T-INFANTRY. Again I'd recommend downloading the Dimp 8.1 from http://www.heartsofiron.eu/frameset_en.htm there new (separate) sprites for infrantry, paratroopers, mountain troops, marines, militia, garisons. Even if you don't want to use them it'll give you an idea on the file naming convention.TIRO_ said:
