What you have to do is go through the country file and change the codes for army (circled above).

For example, Bavaria has its own sprites (at least for two levels), so you should change 'GER' into 'BAY' Meanwhile, I've split up the minor states into German (GER), Italian (ITA), Western (HEL) and Eastern (HUN). Bearn is in Western Europe, so you should change 'MIN' into 'HEL'.

I'm not familiar with Plvs Vltra, so I didn't make a country file for that mod. I'll probably do so at some time, but I'm quite busy at the moment with other things.

Thanks

What are all your codes and what areas/nations do they represent?

example ...Does BAY mean only Bavaria or southern German states
 
^I would like to know this too. It also appears that there are discrepancies in the "navy" values between Watkabaoi and PV, but since I don't think you touched ship models, I'll leave them alone.

Lord Vamp,

If you do make a file for Plvs Vltra, please upload it on the forum so that other people can use it. You could either give me a link to the file-sharing site, and I'll include it with the others on this thread (giving you full credit for it, of course), or you could post it on your own thread, and I'll direct people towards that.

Sure, I can do that. Or Toio, if he finishes before I do... there are a lot of countries to change!

Just as a heads-up, your Colorscales mod for vanilla/AGCEEP also works with PV (since there is no colorscales_political.txt in the PV folder).

I love all the work you've done though, great job.

Okay, just finished. Didn't take as long as I thought it would.

Here is the countries.txt file for Plvs Vltra, just drop it into For the Glory/Mods/Plvs_Vltra/Db, overwrite the old version, and you will be all set.

Chicken Spadge- feel free to add this to the first post, upload it on a file-sharing site, or whatever!

Just had a look at it - good work, thanks a lot!

This gets the official Chicken Spadge seal of approval!

I'll add it to the first post later today.

I'll still provide this, if you don't mind waiting until tomorrow.

Just a minor question/nitpicking, Spadge: don't you think that BYZ level 1 sprites look too much akin to ancient Roman legionnaires?
Click to expand...

Well, maybe. Here is where I got them from. They were the only Byzantine units I could find.

I suppose I should have used the later medieval swordsman, but it's got those very Roman-looking leather bits as well (only yellow instead of red), and I liked the high medieval one more!

I'm afraid that aesthetics has sometimes taken precedence over accuracy! Perhaps I'll load up some alternative units in the future, but those window adjustments must come first!
 
Well, it's your choice actually so you're the one who's got the last word. At all events, they aren't bad at all! It's just that it seem a bit... too early.

Anyway, after taking a look at that link, I'd like to ask you: would it be possible for you to make some Kataphraktoi for the Bizzies as well (instead of infantry)? Now that would really make them sort of unique.
 
OK, as requested here's a list of all the codes used for the armies in the sprite pack:

You are unbelievable. This is awesome! I've been hoping for something like this for years, Chicken Spadge (i know it's a bit over the top ;). For the Glory is actually my fav Paradox game. Thanks so much.

Wow!!The sprites you converted are so great!! much better than I converted.

Could you please converted this unit sprite? it is my favourite sprite.http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=103926

OK zweihander, here he is!



Unfortunately, I couldn't position the sprite better in the combat screen because of the figure's size and the way he swings that sword.

I decided to change that strange cyan colour used for the feather and replace it with green.

Here's a download link. I've labelled the sprite as German Level 1, 'T-ARMY C-GER A-FIRE D-NE L-1' etc.
Drop the download straight into your For the Glory folder and overwrite. You can do this with both the original sprite pack and my version.

Now your turn, Titan79!

It's Byzantium Level 1, of course. Again, just drop it into your For the Glory folder and overwrite. This will also work with both the original sprite pack and my version.

Hey the Spadgy Man, I finally got to install those sprites (thou game was loading for quite a while first time), and bloody hell, this is one lovely pack you got here ;)

But I hath two questionnes you see:

1.) Would it be possible to also create specific country file for A4K mod? We could do it ourselves? Of course we could...but there are so many other things at hands we won't get to it anytime soon :(

2.) Now that it looks like you can convert sprites other people ask for...is there any Winged Hussar sprite that you could convert? Now that would overjoy my little Polish soul, I could finally conquer Moscow with style...any chance? ;)
 
Overall superb work, ChickenSpadge!

I hope you take requests because I want to pester you with some::glare:

Scotland:

A full set for all four levels would be nice. And please replace that silly clansman with that gun-wielding guy. Maybe add a British Highlander infantry man as lvl 4.

Burgundy:

Lvl 2: Burgundian soldier with handgun

Hmm! I might have guessed that doing those two sprites would be like opening Pandora's box!

I'm doing the country file for A4K, but it's slightly tricky when the countries are written in Dutch!

I need to know how you have named (or even better, the country codes for) the following in the country file, because I can't find them: Gowa and Myanmar

As for the sprites, you'll have to wait a bit for those because I'm working on something else at the moment.

The Level 3 Dutch sprite that you mentioned is actually already included in the tricorne hat version.
 
Oh, I wanted those Durch sprites under the Burgundian rifleman (so you see they belong together) but I messed up the post. ;-)

Don't worry and take your time, they can wait. I just waned to "order" them.

Gowa is MKS and MYA is Myanmar (Ava). The latter took me some time to find because of Dutch names (we have to thank Kasperus for them).
 
OK, I've amended the A4K countries file as best I can. I've checked it by loading up the mod to look at the map, so I think that I've got all the starting nations right at least. It might be a good idea for you to check it though.

Here's a link to download it from.

I've put the file within a Db folder, so it can be dropped into For the Glory/Mods/A4K.

I note that there's a Units folder in the mod with some old-style sprites in there, so that needs to be deleted if you don't want them to show up.
