Puma Sprites

[Pasha]

This is a longshot, but does anyone have Puma's (and even Odecca's) sprite pack? I used to have them on a very old laptop and hard drive, but both were stolen.

I know Blood and Iron and AIO (Gold Edition) incorporate some of Puma's sprites, but not many of them. Sobrano's Sprite Pack found on this forum with an active link uses some of his sprites, but not all. A Google search has led to some links, but they are no long active. The old DesignModProjekt site which hosted his sprites shut down earlier this year.

Thank you. I tried it but it didn't work, unfortunately. Takes me to a sign in page for what I assume is the company that hosted the old Design Mod Projekt. I tried my old screen name and password but didn't work.

But in case I'm doing something wrong, see if you can get it to work: www.designmodproject.de

Hi! I think I found what you're looking for. I can't post links because my post count is too low, but if you google "you want sprites?" (including the quotation marks) you should be able to find a thread on this very forum containing an active link to the Puma pack (credits to user novapaddy for the upload).

The sprites are for AoD, though. I checked the archive, and it's one of those old installers, it asks for the AoD installation folder, but you can just install it anywhere you want and move the files. Be warned, though, the final installation size is over 9 GB.

I don't know if it's the complete pack or if it even works with DH out of the box, I assume it needs some conversion work. There seem to be some instructions on the original thread, though. Unfortunately I can't help with that, I know next to nothing about graphics stuff.

Please let me know if there's anything else I can help with. Enjoy!

That's it! Thank you so much. I came across that post yesterday while searching and thought the link was dead, but it's only dead for BeBro's sprites and still works for Puma's. They are leveled for AOD, but I don't mind renaming the ones I really want to incorporate into the game so they display correctly.

Again, thank you so much for finding this

If anyone is interested ( @Josh365 ) here's the link for them:

If anyone is interested, I found this HUGE Sprite collection a few years ago and I forgot that I saved it to my Dropbox a long time ago:

@Josh365 I'm sure you'll find some sprites for your Mod.

If I use TRP mod, can I somehow use this mod skin for it? I placed the maps inside the TRP mod map. But now it doesnt want to open the game at all. So I guess I did it wrong.

Sprites are tricky and I usually cherry pick and rename (when I have to) the sprites I want to incorporate.

Since you seem to want to use them all, I would make a copy of TRP first. Then delete or rename TRP's Units folder (including the BMP folder) then go ahead and copy and paste the folders and files from this mod. Replace existing files when it asks. It's important to remove or rename the existing Units folder because many of the sprite files in this mod are named differently from DH's or even the base game's so it would cause conflicts.

Full Disclosure: These sprites were not created by me and are several years old. Puma's are nearly 20 years old. As such, I doubt modders need permission to use them in their mods.
