Hmm, in this resolution it is very difficult saw that the buttom are gold or silver, but the color of some typical regiments are all right as in historical sources:
This is the largest picture you can see in the game



p.S> What book do you have?

[Magnus]

Actually the units is very detailed if they would have been in a larger scale. I have added all buttons, knapsacks, laces, lapels etc etc to the textures of the units. However the small scale we are using for them you mostly don´t see them at all.

To Tim:

Tim wrote: "I do know what you mean by the unit portraits on the side in the HPS games. It is a nice feature, but would require a huge investment in time to get all those graphics for all units."

I don' t think so. It would be sufficient for the basic game to use one portrait for one type of soldier like Musketier / Fusilier / Grenadier / Husar / Kürassier etc. etc. for every nation.
Ok, f.e the basic game of HPS Jena & Auerstaedt is using "only" 120 portraits for all armies.

But it is easy - and of course time-consuming - for modders to "inflate" the graphic file to historic correct 1:1.

Yes, the H&M vol. 1-engine with the wonderful editor etc. seems to be a shade more sophisticated and the original HPS games are graphically suboptimal too, but there is a bigger modding scene because the HPS-engine offers a bigger "graphic modding-playground"

In combination with the great 3D-unit pics of Prinz Heinrich it would be really a nice feature to see simulaneous the painted / scanned and reversed portrait of an individual unit.

To Magnus:
So it would be no problem to see buttons, knapsacks, laces and lapels etc. AND to move your great 3D-units.


BUT...gentlemen... this is only MY taste   

[PrinzHenrich]

Uffz this that are you talking about is HnM vol. 1 also easy as in HPS. You can do this by your own, the only problem is to find anyone who would like to "modding" HnM
In editor is also option:

To Uffz

Yes, here is one example of the 3D units I use for HnM, rendered in a larger scale. Here you can see most details like the knapsack, water bottle, buttons on the gaiters and on cuffs, Pom Pom and Side Bobs

To Magnus:

Indeed a great possibility to create many unit portrait. When I am owner of this game, I will do my very best to create a lot of (scanned and reversed) pics.
Do we know, how many units per side we can use on a battlefield with this gameengine? 1:1 ??

To Magnus:

Sjysst [X(].....is it "handmade"?


Greetings to both

I think first Magnus is ME, yes 1:1

[Gribeauval]

New engine version :
To Prinz Heinrich or Tim Coackley :
will H&M volume 1 and H&M volume 2 have the same engine ( the same .exe ) ? When H&m volume 1 will be updated later, will it have the ability to use 5 command levels (even if it uses only 3 command levels in all its scenarios) ?

[Magnus]

Uffz the units is actually real 3D models and textured using Photoshop.
