Yamamoto!

Could you please somewhat "announce" what you plan to work on, so the makers don't do double work accidently on the same model.

Thanks!

Yam, in the tbd1 there was a flaw.
It said eg "...tor c-usa..."
but the files were called "...tor c-usa..." with TWO spaces in them.
This caused that "not available" cross to be shown.
You can get the fixed version in the treasury

next plan

Thank u i shall correct it in ver 3

usa: M3 Halftrack, pershing, stuart, sherman, mack truck
france: char b1
Japan: land unit
China: P40 Warhawk (The Flying Tiger)

but this 'd take very long time coz to make land unit animated pretty difficult.

I had done me162 salamander but coz goatis68 had done me262 so i keep for myself.
I was planning it to replace minor 3rd generation warbird.

The game only accepted one type of image
but i gave u many option.
I gave u all free choice which type of image u like mustang or lighting or corsair
for me i like them all so i make it transform everytime the unit move to other direction
ex: d-n--> mustang, d-s--> corsair, d-w-->lighting, d-e-->warhawk (freaky!)

German Jets

Yeah, please post them so we can choose which planes to use - or rename them in our own versions...

For German jet designs, maybe some advanced dive-bombers or strategic bombers here are some ideas...

http://www.luft46.com/luftart.html

Some excellent German fighters in there for a possible L4 sprite...

Enjoy!

Future Plans

Can you give a hint what else is on the horizon?

I like the salamanda, and hope you can do more German planes, like the JU-52

It would also be cool to see the original Zero put up to the same quality as the other Japanese planes.

How do I rename the files to make the Chinese P40 also appear as the level 1 American fighter?

 

[nachinus]

Yamamoto, have you thought about increasing your existing sprites´animations. It´s a pity that sprites with such quality doesn´t have better animation.

Anyway, they are great!

a little problem

Greetings,

I have a little problem. Instead of pictures of SBD Dauntless or Ki61 I see only a cross. Other units works perfectly. Anyone could help?

Sincerely yours

Jan Pánek

 

[unmerged(12730)]

cross means the bmp files are not linked correctly in the spr-file
