COREd War in the East 2 model, factory and leader graphics mod - v1.4 - v1.02.13 compatible

[Hagar]

Coming from someone who has done the work himself, I truly appreciate it, cblattmann!

[Flor1976]

Why don’t you and cbattmann merge each other mods into one )

[Hagar]

To be honest, from my perspective there is little need to do so... If one prefers the leader pack of cbattmann just uncheck the checkbox 'include leader imagery' when using the installer. I made that an optional install for that very purpose, because whichever one is better is according to taste.

If you meant to imply to use his country marking style instead of the default one but use my source imagery instead, well I certainly wouldn't want to revisit going over all these files, the more so as I haven't stored all the source imagery for future use... I do like his marking style, and think it is superior to the default one. But the advantage of sticking with the latter is that it will always be in line with any changes which come with future patches, and was even when my set was still woefully incomplete. Much of the current set has its roots in WitE1, saving me a ton of work. Should I ever decide to do a WitW set, sticking to the default style seems to make the most sense. And I have been playing the old games for such a long time that the country banner basically has become invisible, as I have grown accustomed to it.

I've tried to explain my design philosophy regarding the Soviet leader imagery as well, as I aim for a true vintage feel in-game. I hope it is to each other's liking. Enjoy!

This is the great mod!
Special thanks for the portraits of Soviet generals during the beginning of the war!

[Hagar]

Thanks! It has been quite a challenge to find them, but IMHO it surely pays off.

[overkill01]

Thank you for all the hard work, it does look great.

Would you be willing to share the flags and frame without the pictures ? I'd like to change a few pictures myself.

[Hagar]

Sure, no problem... Mind you, the templates are multi-layered Photoshop templates, so it will all depend on the graphics software you're willing to use.

Works with corel paintshoppro. thanks a lot!

Version 1.1 is up! this version is compatible with version v. 1.01.09, and contains additional ground imagery for Slovakia, Hungary and Romania.

[erikbengtsson]

Thank you, Hagar!

By the way, I remember working with you in the old Paradox forum on CORE for the original HoI, many years ago.

[Hagar]

Most welcome! And I hope my work hasn't taken a turn for the worse since the good old HoI2 days and what we aimed to achieve when developing CORE. [;)] Denniss, one of the WotE2 devs also has strong CORE ties. It certainly is a small world...

[OnWargaming]

I just want to say many thanks for your mod, really a great job!

[Hagar]

Thanks! They are meant to be enjoyed, and it seems they do just that. [:)]

Is the double e in the thread title intended?

Which 'e' are you referring to? As to the CORE reference, that is a reference to the CORE mod we developed for Hearts of Iron I and II and Arsenal of Democracy.

[erikbengtsson]

The title of the thread, Hagar. I believe there is a typo [:'(]

" COREd War in the Eeast 2 model, factory and leader graphics mod - v1.1 - v. 1.01.09 compatible"

[Hagar]

How the heck could I have missed that? [&:] Corrected, thanks!

[Hagar]

For those who are using the 1.02.01 Public Beta rather than the official 1.01.09 patch, I've added version 1.2 in the first post. This version also contains Bulgarian imagery. [:)]

Edit: changed 1.01.15 Public Beta support to 1.02.01 Public Beta support, as it has been released today

[xhoel]

The Bulgarian images look very nice, good job!

Just a heads up: The KV-1 M1941 (ID 839) is still using the default game image and so are all Axis Generic elements (ID 1001 to ID 1034). It would be nice to have some clean pictures for these elements as well. Thank you!

[Hagar]

Thanks xhoel! I also missed the late addition of A0226, PZL 23B (RU), but have that one covered for the next release. The KV-1 is next on the to-do list. And is the generic imagery actually used somewhere? I will be happy to do them as well, but haven't seen any of them so far in-game.

Edit: KV-1 1941 (late), ZIS-5 gun, welded turret: added to the next version.
