Sprite Additions Possible?

Sprite Idea

I have an idea. How about we replace the pictures of units that are seen on the right side of the screen next to unit info, with reformatted pictures to show the actual unit.

Just a random thought I had when I woke up this morning.

I think the CORE mod drastically improves HOI but I would love to see some of the Stony Road sprites incorporated into my game. Is this possible? (ie can I simply download the Stony Road sprites)

Thanks.

I am running the Stony Road sprites on my computer. They are good sprites and work well. You will get some strange conditions due to the large numbers of armor models, but that exists with the standard sprites. A majority of the CORE improvements lie in the area of the counters.

In the future use an established thread to ask a question. There is a thread for CORE Graphics or when in doubt use the beta discussion thread. That will keep the forum from getting cluttered with numerous threads and enable people to find information a little bit easier. MDow

To what file did you install the Stony Road sprites? I have installed some to Strategy First/HOI/GFX/map/units with little or no results. The only sprite to have changed is Ethopian infantry.

The ethiopian infantry sprite comes with CORE, so that doesn't come from the Stony Road sprites. You should check that directory you mentioned to see if there isn't a new GFX substructure created there. Sprite packs are probably made to be installed to the HOI base directory, as they probably carry changes that don't go into the GFX\map\units directory. Namely, a different country.csv (with more countries not having the ArmyNationalitySprite field set to MIN) and palettes for the new graphic files.

I am trying your advise and downloading to the HOI directory. Crossing myfingers...

No luck...

I don't have any experience with the Stony Road sprites, BTW. Have you tried Exel's sprite pack? Most, if not all, the sprites in it are stony road sprites, but there's a lot less inconsistency in perspective and scale, all the sprites are fully animated, and it comes with a handy installer.

If you please, where is it? Link ?
