What do you mean you don't have GIP? What did you download then?

If it gave you an error than you must have copied something wrong... Try a clean install of DD, apply latest patch, extract your GIP archive and copy those two directories into your game folder

this won't make the game run any slower will it?

I noticed that the basic medium tank picture for the US is wrong. It shows a Stuart tank instead of a Grant. I would love to chang it my self and then pass it on along with a few others. The problem is, I don't know how to do it. Can some one teach me how? I would love to contribute a little to the project. Oh, and before I forget, this mod is awsome.

Ikon picture.

Hey GIP people.

DL GIP 0.5, it looks great.

Are you planning to make a new Ikon for .exe file.

Now i just use one of the army counters you have made to identifi the GIP improved version of Doomsday. Would be nice if you made a cool ikon.

Regards Gormadoc

The Doomsday link on FileFront isn't working... Is there anywhere else this file can be DL'd?

It works quite well for me, but if you still have problems with it, then try the Stony Road download section, I believe they uploaded our files too.

There is not an auto install version for Domsday of GIP 0.5, so I think you have maybe tried to install GIP 0.5 for ordinary HOI2 which might have created a problem... Are you running any other mods for Doomsday btw?

Only that graphic mod that changes the Icons, are they conflicting?
I have now tried the ones for Doomsday, i Dl into gfx folder and unzip it nothing happens?

That is the problem... it should be downloaded into the general Doomsday folder.

i now unzipped it in the general doomsday folder and it still doesnt work?

I have been using the GIP-mod for some time now and I just want to thank you for all the color-pictures and new models you have added, it has really improved the game as far as I see it

 

[Pharm]

Awsome!!

These new graphics kick tail!!
Thank You GIP!!!
Any suggestions on where to go for improved sprits??

Thanks,
Scott

 

[Christensen]

Thanks to both of you, it's always nice to hear that our work is appreciated by all you out there... otherwise we can only judge by the number of people that download our work.

From our filefront account almost 9.000 people have downloaded our HOI2 version of GIP 0.5 and 4.500 has downloaded the Doomsday version of GIP 0.5... but these numbers does not include those that have downloaded the mod from the Stony Road homepage or those that has used the bit torrents that has been in use so I'm not sure of the exact numbers.

 

[Spricar]

You are really doing a great job. To demonstrate how much I value your work I can tell you I'dont want to even try C.O.R.E. until you guys (hopefully) release GIP for it.Even though C.O.R.E. was my favourtie mod for HOI1...

as always, good stuff guys

I want to say I was enjoying your GIP .5 for Doomsday until... I started getting crashes that seem mostly related to Manchuko. However, even as Japan I get these crashes occasionally.

The game loads fine. I get to view many of your wonderful bmps. The trouble starts with clicking the int,prod,etc tabs. Rarely I get a crash just for clicking them (as Japan). I always get a CTD when I am on a tab and try to click on Manchuko in either diplomacy or intel.

I tried loading up as Manchuko to remove some units from their army. I can click on NONE of their tabs without the game CTD.

I am using DD v1.2, with Scythe's icons, the BeBro fighter sprites , and no other mods.

Any suggestions ??

This sounds very strange... I've just been playing a multiplayer game as Japan with a friend playing Manchuko and we had no problems at all... The graphics should not be making any CTDs, but if anybody else experiences this, then please let me know and I will look into it.

I am running the game fine now without GIP installed and running BeBro's sprites + Scythe icons. No more CTDs. I am using the same save file that was crashing on me before just be sure it wasn't some whacky corruption.

What really bugs me is I WAS running the GIP before this started. Mind you, I only played it for one game but had no problems.

BTW I have isolated the problem as GIP. I did clean install. Put in just the fighter sprites. No issues. Uninstall/reinstall. Put in Scythe icons. No problems. Uninstall/reinstall. Put in GIP .5 DD version. CTDs :/



Just to be sure I didn't do something weird with the install though. Mind you, I did this the last game where I ran it with no problems, let's be sure I am not doing something wrong.


I unpacked the GIP.5 into main Paradox folder. Copy GFX folder from GIP. Drop into doomsday folder. Copy contents of scenario folder from GIP. Drop into doomsday folder. Can you see any reasons why this might be a problem installing it via this method ?


edit: Even though the unzip seemed clean, I am downloading it again from filefront and deleting the old unzipped file.
