Enlightment sprite pack not working

[colinljx]

Downloaded the new enlightment sprite pack from gamersgate, but saw no change on any unit. The reformation pack did work though.

Is it just Gamersgate? Anyone else tried the new sprite packs?

EDIT: please answer my questions first since I need to have things clarified to locate the issue, and asking me a lot of questions doesn't really help that much.
Actually, if you bought this sprite from GG and had it working, please post a screenshot, thanks.

I thought many ppl bought the new sprite... Am I mistaken or something?

I didn't see any announcement about it.. until your thread I had no idea they existed.

What's the difference between the upcoming Medieval Spritepack and the current Western AD 1400 one?

colinljx is talking about the Enlightenment spritepack, which works fine for me when i start a new game during that period. Maybe you just have to wait a bit for it to take effect colinljx. I think when I switched from Medieval sprites to Renaissance as the Teutonic Order I had a mix of the sprite types for awhile.

As for your question Setsuna

Thanks for the responses,
@Puritan, where did you purchased the sprite pack? GG or D2D or somewhere else? Was your sprite pack working functionally at any time between 1700 and 1795? I remember seeing unknown error that pauses the download from GG, but after unpausing several times the download finishes itself. Maybe this has something to do with it? (but the reformation one worked fine despite the error interruptions)

@setsuna, yea Paradox was very quiet ever since the release of the two anno sprite packs, I didn't realize another two packs were out in Oct. until my weekly routine around the forum 2 days ago.

Do these Sprite Packs work with the Steam version of the game? I can't see them on Steam for purchase =/

It is odd that the East and West packs are on steam but not these two. I'd snap them up in a heartbeat as these are decently priced compared to a lot of other DLC stuff. Heck I think i've bought a lot of HOI3 DLC and I haven't actually played that game besides just starting it up and looking around.

 

[colinljx]

So... Did anyone have the same issue like I did? Is the problem related to GG? If your enlightment sprite works, during which period did it work?

 

[Hashoosh]

Are you running a steam version of the game colin?

 

[colinljx]

@Hashoosh: Obviously not... Would you and someone else please answer some of my questions so that I can be assured that the sprite from GG actually works? Where did you get your sprite? Did your the sprite worked properly and at which peroid did it start to show up?

This is starting to piss me off... Redownload, reinstall, retry, still nothing... Maybe I never should have bought this one... Still no idea on where the problem came from, and no one is really helping...

Maybe it's better if you post this in the tech support forum.

Maybe I will do this later, but please post a screen shot or something if you dont have any problem with the sprite from GG. Right now, I dont know what the problem is.

 

[colinljx]

Can I assume everyone is having problem with the enlightenment sprite from GG? since no one has posted any screen shot of their new sprite.

Sorry, havn't looked at this thread since I first posted. I got the spritepack off of Gamer's Gate. I'll see about posting a screenshot after I get off work tonight.

Screenshot attached.

To be honest I'm not sure whether that's appropriate, as they are not written by Paradox. A bit like user mods, they ought to have their own area perhaps, I'll look into it.

 

[colinljx]

Thanks Puritan, now I just need to find out where things went wrong from download to installation. I remember encountering errors that paused the download several times when I got it from GG, did you encounter any?

 

[theTopSpartan]

Can someone help me? I have the same problem but I have a steam version. Enlightenment doesn't work and as a result neither does revolution.

 

[AndrewT]

Exactly the same as the OP? That is, that the reformation pack worked but the enlightenment one did not? How exactly are you determining that it works or doesn't work? because of course the enlightenment pack only becomes visible late in the game, and then only for certain countries.

IOW please be as expansive as possible about what you have, what works and doesn't work, and what you've done. Thanks.

 

[theTopSpartan]

Yes the same as OP. Reformation, medieval, anno domini, etc. all work just fine. I decided to go to one of the late game scenarios as Rev. France to look around and make sure it did work and I just have the original base sprites for the era. I have also tried several countries in that time period and they all had the base sprites. I have looked around the internet and it seems the OP is the only one who has even posted something about this anywhere as far as I can tell. Thanks.

Enlightenment Sprite Pack
This spritepack includes 16 new sprites for the Western countries in the Enlightenment era of 1700 to 1795.
There are uniforms for: Dutch, Spanish, French, British, Portuguese, Danish, Prussian, Scottish, Austrian, Swedish, American, Scandinavian, Venetian, Revolutionary French, English and Generic Western.

So depending on what exact date you chose for RFR, you may have missed the 1795 cut-off. See if you can duplicate the screenshot in post #14, which is the UK in 1744, for instance.
