Can I use custom HOI 2 grafics with DD?

[jowe01]

In HOI2, I used to use Scyth's fabulous unit icons and other graphical modification. When using DD, can i just copy them over or has the or are there now new unit names so that the game would not find the modded grafics (which of course are labelled according to Hoi2 rules).

I am of course not talking about post-1945 units.

My guess is that no present mod will work with DD.

It should be pretty easy to make it work though.

Scyth will soon release his icons for DD, just wait and see.

I think that if the graphic file names are the same, the HOI2 icons will work, but you will still see the DD icons on the units that HOI2 didn't have. Making your own icons for the new units is no biggie though considering that there's only 1-2 new techs per tree. I've changed a couple of sets of naval icons made for HOI2 into CORE2 compatibility.

WARNING! dont try GIP 3.0 and 4.0 they seem to have messed up my fresh doomsday install, for example German strategic bombers are displaying the pics for interceptors...same thing on other units, english ships are all screwed up, not sure what is going on here I may have messed up installing GIP but for now I am going to reinstall doomsday and then wait for more feedback or fresh mods

Yeah the unit model numbering has been totaly redone for DD .. at least for air and naval units. The land units seem to be fine and Im sure the teams will get a DD compatible version of their icons out soon.

Most of the interface graphics seem to use the same name conventions as HOI2
