Didn't see this is odds and sods or anywhere else, so apologies (I know it's got to be here somewhere).
But trying to set up a game using multi level sprites.
How do I tell the game which sprite to use for what level of troop?

I thought that if I got rid of some of the higher level sprites with the pack I'm using , the game would just keep using a lower level sprite, but it's not working that way.

The sprite pack I'm using was originally not for DH, so some of the sprites are showing jets etc for 1943ish tech. I deleted the "jet" sprites (both bmps and spr files) and assumed the game would just stay at the highest level sprite I left in the game. (ie Int L-4, if I deleted Int L-5 and above) But it's not working, it's showing pink "X" counters.
Obviously I've missed something.

Anyone able to provide any direction or assistance?

You may have a conflict between Sprites in the main DH folder and DH Full. Make sure you delete or move all of the stock Sprites and their corresponding files out of the main DH GFX folder. Then move you modified Sprites and their corresponding files into the main DH folder. There's no need to install the Sprites into DH Full or any other Mods.

Also, and you probably already know this, be sure to enable Sprites on the DH Launcher.
