[hellfirejet]

Thanks Tex,
For the download site, by the way I will be adding Ships for other Nations ie Italian,French etc in the near future I will keep you posted if interested.

That would be great Graham, the more ships the better! [&o]

Hi Tex,
I have been getting an unusual problem with my Shil art,it is still displayed as pink around the ship while within the blue combat screen,have not had this prob before any ideas whats going on,don't know if it's just a glitch with my pc graphics,are they appearing ok in your game?

I have not done anything different from the art I done for the 40 British Pre-dreadnoughts I added months ago they are fine,this is weird no doubt I will figure it out.[&:]

[tex]

So I just made a quick scenario where I sent Braunschweig unescorted to Manila, and sure enough, when she was in the periscope view the pink showed up. I seem to recall reading something about this somewhere on the forum, but I am not sure where. What process did you use when you made the shils? I wonder if it is a layering problem. Rysyonok may have an idea.

Hi Graham, check out this thread:

tm.asp?m=1405076&mpage=1&key=ship%2Cart&#1405076

Ok I read that about the Shil,I will check it out,can't think of doing anything I have not done before thought.

Hi Tex,
I have made ship art for ww2 German ships for WITP AE ie Bismarck & Tirpitz etc and they are fine using the same method I have done with the ships for WPO without any probs,the black boarder they talk about does not apply,my Shils are all pink go figure.[&:]

[tex]

Okay, I have a workaround, but it is rather labor-intensive [X(]

I took your shil 0420 and cut out the ship only and then pasted it onto an original shil from the game that I had painted over the ship (so that there was only an empty pink background). In the game this works fine, no pink anywhere. I don´t know what the problem is, but at least there is a way around it.

[hellfirejet]

Hi Tex I can't remember where I got the Shil template from, but DIXIE wrote in that other post that the problem could be the shade of pink used in game,anyway from now on I will only use a Shil from within the game as a template,that way I know there should not be any problems in the future,thanks for feedback.[;)]

[tex]

I compared the colors and they were both the same in all ratios, including the color number. Very strange situation indeed! [&:]
I will make the changes and repost the download.

[hellfirejet]

Cheers Tex this is indeed very weird,but hey you live and learn,at least the High seas fleet is now available for anyone wanting to include them in a scenario.[8D]

[hellfirejet]

Hi Tex, I just sent you some new art by email.

[tex]

Okay, great!

And to those of you who have downloaded the High Seas Fleet pack, don´t use it yet (unless you want to cut and paste like I did), a new and improved version is on the way.

[hellfirejet]

Hi Tex,
Information showing what ship art goes with what ship classes has been sent to you.

[tex]

Okay, so here is the link for the new and improved version:

This includes not only the artwork (with shils that work), but also a handy file listing the ships and their file number for easy editing.

Thanks again Graham, your work is great!

[hellfirejet]

Ok folks the German High Seas Fleet is here in all its splendour,so download all the art files in one easy stop place,so please add them to your new scenarios and enjoy![8D]

Okay, so here is the link for the new and improved version:

Thanks Tex for all your help setting up the file download.[&o]

By the way new classes are being added to the German High Seas Fleet on a regular basis, so keep checking back from time to time thanks again for looking and hopefully downloading.[:)]

My future plans include upgrading all Nation's & adding new Nation's ship art for WAR PLAN ORANGE .[;)]

Hi guys,

I'm not sure if you have seen this post or not.

tm.asp?m=1435880.

It's been quite a while since I've worked on it but you are welcome to the map and wpohex file if you want. Just let me know and I will upload it again.

Thanks Hueglin I took a look at your work,and it is most impressive,I would love to download it if possible cheers.[;)]

[tex]

Graham is right, that is great stuff Hueglin. What all do you have ready for download?

[hellfirejet]

Hi folks anyone who downloads the ship art,feedback would be much appreciated on the forum both positive and negative.[8D]

Personally I find the grey of the German battleships needs to be darkened a bit or I might make them the same white and yellow of the Armoured cruisers & Light cruisers,because I like the way that they stand out well during the surface combat.

By the way is there a capacity limit to the art files for War Plan Orange,there are a great many ship classes I would like to add,but don't no if the files have a maximum limit ?[&:]
