Reg a question if i may.

Here is a screenie of the Art folder after installing all these great rotational art works.


Inside the 44 folder for example i find some extra folders with planetops as well as sides. Will the planetops change as well or will they only change with Cathartes tops installed? thanks

The extra folders you see (05, 06) mark the month of the year when the tops/sides will change. Doesn't matter if you have Cathartes tops installed or not.

If you look at the first post in this thread, you will find a document by MichaelM that describes the folder structure used by the rotating art function of WITP-AE patch 3.

I wrote a utility which you can download here to put all the artwork in the correct locations but most people just wanted to install a preformatted package into the game folder so that is the way I usually release it.

Inside the 44 folder for example i find some extra folders with planetops as well as sides.

As TOMLABEL says, the subfolders are for rotating art that are activated at a specific month during the year.

The rotating art in the year folder applies for the whole of the year but only for that particular year. You will find that if you have installed version 2 of my rotating art, there will be planetop artworks in the 44 folder as well. You may have to scroll down a bit.

Will the planetops change as well or will they only change with Cathartes tops installed? thanks

MichaelM has written the code that both the side and top art rotates if it exists in the correct locations.

If you look at my post above (Post #: 474) you will see a column called Default which is the artwork used if none of the rotating art is activated. This art work is supplied with the game in files A_PlaneSide.bmp and Aptop.bmp.

I recommend that Cathartes top art to be installed simply so the style of the default artwork matches the rotating artwork*. No other reason. [:)] It's far better than the planetops supplied with the game anyway. [;)]

Cathartes did the default sideart supplied with the game so it already matches the rotating artwork*.

I hope this helps.


* Please note I cannot take any artistic credit for creating this work which was all done by Cathartes, I only reformatted it so it rotates.

If you supply the art work, we will roll it in. [:)]

We're not biased, it's just we have found that JFB art work has always been a bit thin on the ground.

@Reg

Thanks for the explanation. Seems I installed everything correctly, but I prefer the game tops!!!
Looking forward to future updates

[Halsey]

More restricted AGPs, and added some US Bn sized starting units.

[Mifune]

Thanks Halsey for the continuing effort

[drw61]

Once again, thanks Halsey for these patches!

Here is an update from More restricted AGPs, and added some US Bn sized starting units so the LCUs work with the DaBigBabes Mod. (These work properly only with the DaBigBabes Mod)

[NAVMAN]

oops!

[Halsey]

Japanese LCU update 29 and 30.
Burma and RTA Army.

[drw61]

Here are some LCU patches to help distinguish what the different types of engineers can do in the DaBigBabes Mod. They are generic backgrounds and are not the historical patch for the units. Some have Nav Sup / Shr Prty ( Naval Support / Shore Party) on them some Combat / Shr Prty etc.
These work properly only with the DaBigBabes Mod.

Enjoy, Daryl
