I was mainly looking for sprites though. Some kind of infantry sprite, preferrably containing a group of 3 guys, like the original HoI DD sprite, but it'd be nice if they had some kind of camouflaged Tarnjacke or whatever it was. Or then the basic Heer uniform. Und vereinbar farbige Stahlhelme mit denen auch!
It would also be cool if each of the 3 men in the sprite held different weapons; one would have an MG, the other would have a rifle, and the third would have an SMG. Or maybe the 2 could have the MG, a loader and the shooter, and the remaining one would just shoot his rifle while standing.
Mountain troops would be nice to have with snowsuits and white helmets. With MP40s. Just like in that one commando comic episode. I think it was called 'The Viking shield', it was about some Scandinavian ss-skijägers who had to fetch the shield from somewhere in Soviet Karelia I believe.
You probably have no idea what i'm rambling about but check the wiki articleKORKEAJÄNNITYS ISKEE!!(the wiki article) , and yes, i'm from Finland, Commando Comics strike like a million volts!
I should probably send that questionaire back to the Finnish publisher, so I could perhaps voice my opinion about them, mostly something like favourite time periods in them, themes and so on. Damn good comics by the way. I bought a big box of them from the Internet. Though I'm really considering about making a few year subscription of them.
Also some good looking panzer-, mechanized-, and motorized division skins would be welcomed. I'd like the actual panzer sprite to be either a pzkpfw IV Ausführung H, or the Panther tank, or the Königstiger, or the normal Tiger. Hard to actually decide...
With this kind of woodland-stylish camouflage pattern though
G'day and sorry!
!
The problem with it wanting a hungarian aircraft sprite is a problem with one of BeBro's new sprite packs... he posted a fix for it though. All you have to do to fix it is delete all .spr files with HUN in their names.Laurwin said:Yea, now i'm just looking for a new tank skin: Panther preferrably, cos the other options seem un-achiavable.
A three man mountain jäger sprite would be nice though, with winter camouflage.
The infantry will be left as it is, since it looks IMO quite good, I mean the vanilla inf sprite.
I've been trying to get the zyklonukks mot/mech sprites working, and I think I installed them correctly, but the game refused to start, a warning popped up that the game can't locate some lousy Hungarian aircraft sprite, and then it crashed. The loading screen froze at 90%, and it was initializing globals or something, before it crashed.
I tried this with Bebro's air/naval sprites, I'm pretty sure I installed them correctly.
I unpacked the GFX folder from all of the zip files(the mechanized zip file, the motorized zip file, naval zip file etc...) into the main DD folder. I clicked the overwrite everything necessary, and unchecked the 'don't ask this again' box, like windows normally asks.
They were installed on top of GIP 0.6 and DAIM. I was running the 1.3a DD under them.
So, the game wouldn't start, and it couldn't un-install
It kept giving this error: core files missing or something. Then I system-restored, and went back. AND I could finally delete everything!! and install again.
As Rodrico Stak wrote, BeBro posted a fix for the aircraft sprites. However, if you continue having problems with my sprites, feel free to post in the mech/mot sprite threads and I'll have a closer look at it.Laurwin said:
