Re: Empire V4.0 and Age of steel V1.0c Final edition out now !!!

Hey Cav, please read your PMs as I feel we're communicating on two different channels ;)

140 --> somehow the game shown "something" in its slot art no 137 and it looked fine without me doing anything, so I didn't change it.
[EDIT] Well, checked the REAL Fairey Spearfish just and it looks ...

Re: Empire V4.0 and Age of steel V1.0c Final edition out now !!!

Aaand as we're at it... How about I change these flat graphics and place something more similar to the original arts? Like the Skua below... Just pick your item ;)

Re: Empire V4.0 and Age of steel V1.0c Final edition out now !!!


Sorry to be dim.. Do you want me to delete just the blacked out tops.

I do not see you have added the sides into the tile.

Cav

You can delete from AlliedPlanes all corresponding files of the 13 planes I listed above. Yes, just the blacked out were checked.
As you see I added the sides to the ...

Re: Empire V4.0 and Age of steel V1.0c Final edition out now !!!


Firstly a huge thanks for this so far. So what you have done is added these planes into the main tile.
What about the art in the planes folder? Is that now redundant for the Allies? should we leave that folder untouched though?


Yes, since I added it to the main tile "old way", if you use the ...

Can you send me the numbers or what you did for the planes you corrected so I can fix the files as we go for the next patch?

Just checked stock - There are Two Kitty 3. It's correct, and I changed nothing on those. Problem I kept slot 234 for art which I took as free ( because its empty in the ...

Thanks for all you are doing - I see you have some of the planes working already :)



Hey, I did not change any data within your scenario, just added the "black background" planes onto the core PlaneSide/top/alpha files as you asked. Please find them attached here:

Re: Empire V4.0 and Age of steel V1.0c Final edition out now !!!


Is it hard-coded the number of actual art for planes that can be there? For instance, I have the plane tops from RA, then the separate folder. I have no idea how they interact or work, but they do, so I haven't fiddled with anything.

Indeed, you know much more than I do about the art. I am very pleased you fixed it so easily. As I said, I found those planes in ancient files. I did not create them; that's beyond me.

Do you fancy helping and doing a fix for these planes that will not display - probably all the ones in the ...

Re: Empire V4.0 and Age of steel V1.0c Final edition out now !!!


Adding them in a separate folder does not work, does it? (Or maybe it was changed in the latest patch/tool?).


Aaah, scratch that, seems that you can add it this way with proper naming of the files (button Bitmap 0393), sorry.
It seems all you have to do is to remove the white fill from that ...

Re: Empire V4.0 and Age of steel V1.0c Final edition out now !!!

So, if you open the scenario editor, and show it the path for the art (main ART folder, where the Atop file is), then tick Show the art, you gonna see why there's some kind of problem.
The art shown does not seem the correct Blackburn Skua but rather some (inactive?) Russian plane(s). [A flying boat ...

Re: Empire V4.0 and Age of steel V1.0c Final edition out now !!!


Here is the Skua and Roc. Similar planes both in the early game.

I am wondering if the inverted colour of the background is the problem( most planes have a white background)? If it is I do not know how to fix it but someone will :)

Thanks, Cav! :D

I was now able to play the first turn without CTD (that happened without the basic art).
I only noticed one missing top of Blackburn Skua

A question: didn't you forget to add the link to the main artwork folder or... what else? :?
" All the main art is on my 365 Downloads page... "
[BTW: Great job!]


Thanks, the main art folder is in the same folder as the Scn....on my 365.

Great job Cav!
I think it's amazing that we have a fresh & engaging scenario for both sides with lots of fun.
This is the game of my life, best spent bucks of my life, with thousands hours spent on it.
