Art mods

[fulcrum28]

does the installation only affects the ART folder? it means if I make a security copy of the ART folder as ART_older and install the patch, it will re-write on ART and will keep my old installtion safe in ART_older, right? And the mod does not intalls/modifiy anything in the root Admiral directory, right?

hello, I have seen in the first page some emblems mod for squadrons as well as for the aicrarft side art works.

Is it possible to download the mod using some link? is it mostly completed for US and Japan?

Would it be possible to preserve the current installation? maybe I should copy the game in different folder before to install it?
Thank you in advance, and it looks great work!

Here is the link for the artwork.

Instructions are located on this current thread page for installation instructions.
If the modded art overwrites the original, these will be overwritten by comprehensive game updates.

These are complete, though they will only completely match the stock campaign game scenarios.

This is what your art folder should look like after the insignia and rotating art are in place.

Little cloud mod.

I did this to replace the indistinct white fluffy things with a simple cloud symbol.

Download Regs Cathartes Rotating Plane Art from my Google site, and unzip the folders into the game Art folder.
You also need the planeside and top replacement files.
That's it...[;)]

So, you mean that puting these folders into art folder, and then it will be automaticlly displayed in game in proper time?

Yes...

The game code recognizes the folder date and overwrites the starting bitmap.

I made a psd photoshop file full of small 250 x 290 images with sepia effect and bleached edge effects. I use them for new and modded scenario art. Easy to import photos from web resize and add effects. Then save as BMPs and drop in your ART folder to use in game for new scenarios you make..

There are over 40 authentic photos which fit various scenarios, they are named according to event.

I use most of them to replace originals, I uploaded them here for anyone who wants the template to make their own or use those included for scenarios.

These are some cleaned up Japanese AGP's.

More cleanups to follow.
I'll do a few at a time, to be released seperately.
Then I'll compile them into the total package to update it.

Overwrite the ones downloaded from my site.

#2 Japanese cleanup zip.

[Halsey]

These are the IJN CV AGP's by date.

They are included in the master zip on my site, but the green have to be renamed to appear properly.
In these zips, the names do not have to be renamed.
Unzip and overwrite the master at the dates recommended.


The Grey backgrounds are used till 7/42.
The Green backgrounds from 8/42 till the end of the war.

Grey CV AGP's...

You are quite welcome.

I'm glad I decided to do this a couple of years ago, as some of the original hosters, and hosting sites are now gone.

This site should be available for new arriving, and returning players for a long time.

I myself have a hard copy on disk of all these downloads should something catastrophic happen.[:D]

The IJNAF Grey and Green manual replacements are now on the site, with the recent Japanese AGP cleanups.

Also, the recent colorized Ground Unit replacements are now available there.

So, as of 8 Dec 2012, all previous artworks are now updated on the site.
