Englicizing HoI

[unmerged(49082)]

I have a problem with my version of HoI. As the title says I want to englicize my copy. After installing 1.06c patch most of the job is done but two things still annoy me. One is the map - it shows the names of many provinces differently than the game shows with tooltips so often there is a lot of confusion on my part. In Vicky there is a file tiles.bmp that if replaced restored english names on the map. Could someone send me a file that would do the same job for HoI?

The second matter is less important but also annoying. The loading screen is localized as well. Hence my second request for load_1024.bmp file.

I just looked at your sig. You are very pesimistic, maybe you should look on the bright side of things?

HoI doesn't have overlap graphics like Victoria, so unfortunately you'd need the rather large .tbl files to fix the map names. Loading screen is easier:

What makes you think that? My life motto is: don't worry, tomorrow will be worse.

Thanks for that, now it looks much better. And the map folder is only 26MB when compressed so mayby someone...

One more request, I failed to notice that the game uses the 800x600 loading screen as well and it looks a bit pixelous when resized from 1024. Could you send me a load_800.bmp as well?

I am a fellow pessimistic and it means that when all the shit goes wrong you are never surprised or fazed by it and if it dosent turn out like your worse case scenario then you are pleasantly surprised in general that it was not that bad.

PM me your email and i can send you the loading screens if you like ,there are 3 for hoi1 load_800.bmp,load_1024.bmp and load_1280.bmp
