Seriously -

GIP is gorgeous. I'm so glad I added it to my HOI experience.

But who chose the skins for the US?

The skins for the SU have Stalin smoking a pipe and Stalin lecturing the polit. The Fra skins at least have Napolean (De Gaulle might have been a better choice) and the revolutionary boob girl. The chinese have Mao and Kai-shek. Ger has Hitler! Jap has Tojo! Britain has Monty!

The US gets Washington and Lincoln...

Sorry, seeing a picture of Washington and Lincoln don't make me want to go out and kill Germans in the same way a picture of FDR or Ike would.

Otherwise, terrific mod!

Hey King,I agree GIP is great,but your if the CORE forum,try posting over in the GIP one.Christian is the leader of that mod so I guess he would be the one to ask..no wait(he is no longer working on GIP and has moved on to brink of war mod). :p
 
Didn't Christensen state he would be working on GIP as well, at least until August?
 
So GIP is transferring to CORE, YAY!!

Eehmm... Do you have any hard evidence supporting that, GH? I know the GIP team has stated it is willing to do so, but AFAIK that's the current status.

The good news is that we may use their material if we want to, and should the GIP team fail to deliver we thus can get a headstart ourselves. After the release of 0.3 we're toying with the idea to actually put some effort into graphics... :p

GIP = Graphics Improvement Project. Around 200 MB of high-res colour graphics for HoI2, originally tweaked for the HSR mod IIRC. Once you have it you're sold... :D

Though it isn't compatible with CORE yet, as we changed the unit models around and completely revised the tech tree, it is 'just as bad' on this front compared to regular Vanilla HoI2. I installed GIP in my regular vanilla folders, while installing CORE-specific graphics in the CORE-mod folder.

If you want some preview, these I happened to find on the HSR forum waiting to be integrated for GIP 0.6 (if they are to be used at all). So they're not mine, I just 'nicked' them. ;)
