Got some more added to the new ship update.
Check the art link.

Dutch subs, PTs, MTBs, some aux misc stuff.
Around 1500 total additions in the last week, including the non-US merchants.[;)]

I couldn't use PT squadron insignia because of the way they are put into the game, so I opted to use a different patch for each different class.

Please check Regs pack again, for now I see that some of the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm is missing, in AlliedPlanes for example I miss 29, 37 & 41.
I got my pack of Regs files here:
tm.asp?m=2405660&mpage=9&key=&#2488306

[Halsey]

Thanks, I'll double check...

Updated, nice catch BigDuke.[;)]

[BigDuke66]

Thanks.
Some recommendations:
1. Put the version number into the file names so the user can be sure what this pack is and doesn't mix it up with his old files.
2. Remove thumbs.db as they aren't needed for the game.
3. Maybe a small text to each file so new users know what this great stuff is(a while back we already had one that understood something different under rotating art).

A question to the "LCU with supply_combat markers", what does it do? I compared some and except for color here and there I don't see any changes.



Here is some of my minor stuff:
Combat screen mod:
These are the different combat screens with a broader text bar so that if using the alternative fond the text fits into the box and is better readable.

Button box mod:
These are the two red and yellow boxes around the unit icons resized to match the icon size so it doesn't look anymore like they are somehow of center.

I wouldn't mind if you put it onto your google page too as I don't have any own webspace and putting this into a central art page for the game would be netter anyway as this stuff is sooner or later lost in this forum.

Masters are now downloaded.
I don't see much change from here on out for these.
Unless some gross error is recognized.[:D]

Or Reg finishes the rotating art for the Japanese.[;)]

[NAVMAN]

Hi All:
First, thx to all those who are still supporting the game with patches, artwork, etc.
My question is this: what ship artwork should I be using, if any, to obtain a
"rotating" effect for ships similar to that for aircraft? I'm using Brian's Big B set right
now, but I'm not sure its working correctly.

Thx.

Big B's ship sides rotate with upgrades, instead of by dates, like the aircraft.[;)]

Halsey,
Thx for the clarification and your artwork.

[Halsey]

Due to storage limits on my site, I have to streamline the available downloads.

Updated Allied ship insignia has forced me to remove non-game essential art.
Sorry, to keep this site free others will have to find alternative hosting.

This leaves me enough room for Regs rotating Japanese air art, when he completes it.[;)]

[Halsey]

The first Rotating Japanese Air Art samples are posted on the download site.
These may be revised or updated later on.[;)]

It's just something to wet JFB's appetites.[:D]

[BigDuke66]

I guess a don't remember correctly but didn't we have a mod for the cloud graphic(bad weather indicator) somewhere?

[mikkey]

excellent, thanks Halsey

Is there a way to have the revolving plane side art without the plane tops? I am a fan of the side art and changes in paint as the war progresses but prefer the stock plane tops? Cheers

Go into each folder and delete the top replacement bitmaps.

Though the insignia will never appear correctly on the plane tops now on.
Nor will the planeside match the top artwork at all times.

[Treetop64]

Never thought I'd ever see anyone prefer the default plane tops over the Cathartes ones. They're really amazing. [:)]

[Hotschi]

SPeaking of Cathartes' planes, are there anywhere late-war Dauntless or Avengers in dark blue (like the Hellcats etc.) available?
