i just had my first try but i do not get it finished right. the palette seems to be wrong somehow. the colors just come out totally different in HoI.
Please could you give hints on which program to use (i did it 2D but takes some time ..)
Also what are the special requirements for the palette?

Sprites
Hi
Did you make a 4x4 bitmap file of the palette and placed it in the palette folder?
And another thing, in game graphics is about a fourth brighter than what you see outside. If you want it to look like it does outside, make the palette a fourth darker than what it is.

That was it.
For testing purposes i just replaced the mechanized file in hoi but did not do the palette ....
Here a pic:
Which program do you use for making the sprites ?
Any special trick to fasten making the perspectives ?

Ok, got that all so far ...
Another question is: HOW are the new models triggered??
With heavyaircraft i see it in the techfiles.
"new_model value = 1 (2,3,4)"
With armour it goes up to 38 !!
How is it triggered?
Do i have to rename my files to "35" if i want to have them for model 35 and higher ?

sprites levels
Hi all
The sprites levels changes base on if it is a basic, improved and advanced for fighters (not sure where jets fit in though). Tanks are this way too, light, medium, and heavy, plus super heavy.
About that thing you found in the tech files, I'm not sure what they do. However I bet that they are for the unit model, this is not the sprite, but the name of the model. Notice that in the models.csv file, they use the same numbers format for when to change the models name in game when the tech is researched.
Oh yeah, I use a 3d render to make my units, so perspective isn't much of a problem. I also use photoshop and photosuite as the 2d software.

YOu can check that in the tech tree...
I think there are four levels? Am I right?
Level 1 = Pre War & Early
Level 2 = Light
Level 3 = Medium
Level 4 = Heavy & Super Heavy

no you cannot. That is the point.
It is as in every techtree 12 levels.
Does that now mean the first three are model1, then 4-6 = model2 etc.
That is really limited. There should be a possibility to implement every model you'd like to make.
I tried it. Does not accept level 5 at all...

Is there not a 'How to' regarding Sprites somewhere?
Some explanation of how the computer picks them, and what the L1, L2 etc mean?
It would be nice with the current selection of sprites to be able to choose what level of fighter they represent depending on preferences.

goatis, newu365, yamamoto and mcnaughton. does anyone of you use maya
seems overkill to me.
More important is picture material somehow.
Here the German infantry overkill.
