Some detail on the above:

Numbers are rough counts, not dispositive.
From 100, ending at 479; 345 used bitmap numbers; 34 open bitmap numbers; 379 total

127 - baseline bitmaps for warships, CV down thru DD
123 - baseline bitmaps for ‘other’ classes
24 - baseline bitmaps for SS

274 – baseline bitmaps
105 – bitmaps available for structural upgrades.

Several (many) of the baseline classes do not require upgrade bitmaps because they are later war additions and do not change appearance; certain upgrades (London rebuild, for example) are already included in the baselines; the vast majority of ‘other’ classes do not require upgrade bitmaps because they do not change appearance; there is much repetition in the ‘other’ classes and they require way fewer than 123 baseline positions.

Bottom line, I would guess 250 baseline images and 130 upgrade images. There are 150 warships and subs, of which maybe 100 would need an upgrade image (75 more likely), of those maybe 10-15 would need 2 upgrade images.

There’s your baselines, your 100-130 upgrade images, and the entire bitmap range between 0001 and 0100 open and available for some pretty dense ‘paint job’ and ‘never were’ additions.

Doing this would make standardizing the art set sooo much easier. Thoughts??

Hi Dixie,

any news on these sides displayed in post #292?

Cheers,

Yep I mean I could only find the RN ones but not the US Navy ships....and from the RN files (the last link under scaled ships page) some of the ones pictured in your post are missing (Vanguard, Hermes etc.). Perhaps I'm just looking for the wrong file, but could you please point me exactly.

Thanks

Sure can't say at this point. This has been an immense undertaking that I've squeezed in between RL. Cranked out a couple of JP sides last night, but realized they are facing the other way (same as Allied), which I realized I prefer, but what of others? Preferences?

I'm not whining.
