Gary's New Graphics Thread

[GaryChildress]

And how about a background something like this?

[Khanti]

I like the new one

@Vic

I would like to help Gary out with these graphics. I think I will start by making a modified version of newdawn2.at2 and incorporate the graphics into an atzip file.

Is there documentation on how to make a proper atzip file anywhere?

[Tac2i]

An atzip is simply a standard zip file (rename one zip and you'll see). Just get your folder locations correct and you're good to go. I simply create my folders, put my files in them and then zip them up. I then rename the zip to atzip.

I was snooping around the editor and this is what I just found.

[Tac2i]

You can use the editor or simply construct on your own as I described.

[tinjaw]

I have packaged up Gary's graphics, along with some others, and made them available as an atzip file at the Scenario Bank. I will keep the mod updated as the graphics are revised.

More info can be found here.

First thing I notice is that this does not use anewdawn3.at2 with unit templates and auto reinforcements. Nice work nevertheless but I don't see myself playing anewdawn2 games anymore.

[tinjaw]

Unfortunately I only have access to the Steam version. Once the new version is available on Steam I will be updateing anewdawn3 in the same manner.

If only Matrix could see fit to give me a Matrix copy to match my Steam copy I could get to work on this pronto. [;)]

The public beta seems stable so it won't be to long!

I had something weird happen today when playing. I had saved a game, closed it went into editor, then open the scenario, then open the saved game of said scenario. Made my corrections, then tried to save it. When I would click on save, then move to try and save it that whole section disappeared, and only the unit image and NATO symbol was showing. It did this 2-3 times but finally I was able to save it. I don't know what happened or anything but that is a first for me.

Was messing around trying to create an Operation Barbarossa scenario today. I ended up creating subformation graphics for Romanians, Hungarians, Finnish, and Bulgarians; including Bazooka, SMG, Staff, Rifle and Cavalry. Attached are versions without background. Next post I will attach SFTs with backgrounds for anyone interested.

[GaryChildress]

Here are SFT graphics for Bulgaria and Finland with backgrounds.

[GaryChildress]

Here are Hungary and Rumania with backgrounds.

[GaryChildress]

And last but not least, here is a preview of the files. These are without backgrounds. The backgrounds basically have the same units only with a field in the background.

[GaryChildress]

Also, for anyone interested, attached is a file full of different flags of most of the main belligerents of WW2.

[GaryChildress]

Preview of some of the flags.

[ernieschwitz]

Interesting flags and national icons. I might just take them

[Ormand]

Any chance you could be talked into Polish and Spanish (Nationalist and Republican) troops as well?

[ernieschwitz]

Yeah, those would be great
