Question to Devs please:

[novapaddy]

Hi, I have a new project:

I'm totally rethinking and totally overhauling the game unit sprites... it will be a case of "forget about what has been done before, as this is a new and better way"... (easier to mod)

I have a question please:

Usually the sprites are labelled as such: T-PANZER A-WALK C-MIN L-1 SW...

.. so they all seem to be Level 1. So, it seems that, for instance, the German Panzer is just a single sprite and it doesn't change throughout the game, even though Germany would begin at say Panzer III, through Panzer IV's etc etc. as Tech progresses.

Can the Devs add Level 2 for sprites to the game? .. or even level 3 as well?

Any chance of this happening please?

Do you mean multilevel sprites support? If so this is already implemented and AFAIK there are 1-2 sprite pack mods currently in development.

Hi MartinBG, thanks for the reply. That's good! I'll take a look at the DH mod docs and see if I can gleam any info there. If you have any info you can give me, please PM me with it or post it here?

Much Obliged.

UPDATED QUESTION:

I've had a look at the DH mod docs and there is nothing there about sprites. I've also updated my game to the latest version 1.02 and checked the sprite files. There are still 598 files and they are all still as this T-PANZER A-WALK C-MIN L-1 SW... ... No mention of L-2 anywhere...??

If so, how do the sprites update in the game as the Tech level rises from 1 to 2? Can you please advise?

Thanks

There is support for multilevel sprites in the engine added in Darkest Hour, but there are no new sprites added to the game neither there are plans to add any in the future for many reasons, but there are mods that do that. Here are just 2 random threads:

AFAIK RDR mod also adds a lot of sprites.

Thanks again MartinBG. I'll contact Inner Circle and hopefully he can explain what I need to know. Thanks for taking the trouble.
