I had the impression that the Hashima-class were cable layers rather than minelayer but they might have been assigned to multi-purpose missions i guess. They are usually referred as the only class of purpose-built cable layers of the IJN.

They were cable layers and “mine planters“ for laying controlled defensive minefields, mines linked by cables to a control station on land that could trigger them.

thank you for the clarification.

Replacement bitmaps to upgrade or change your TF Mission Art.
150x60 pixels, save as bitmap, cut and paste using paint program.









Of course you'll want the basi sets from my website, first. [;)]

Very nice, Halsey..

Very nice, Halsey..

Thanks!!!
Any of my previous Mission art can be recopied cut and pasted the same way.
So players can personalize their own art.[;)]

More, same application as above post.

Updated Mission Panels.

Allies

Updated Mission Panels.

Japanese

Could you post these as bitmaps as well as jpgs please. [:)]

Don't think bitmaps are an acceptable image download for the forums.
Gifs, jpgs, txt, and zips only.

I've been customizing my Allied Mission Panels and thought I'd share a few with everyone.

Special thanks to Halsey for providing a great selection of new panels as well as the inspiration to try creating a few myself! [:D]

Very nice!!!

Ground Unit panels can be modded in a similar way also.[;)]

Maybe someday I'll have Mission, and Unit art panels corresponding to a yearly timeline.

That sounds like a great idea and could be a subtle way to imbue some additional historical narrative into the game.

In fact, it reminded me of an image I came across while searching for source images for my mission panel mods. I was considering it for the Allied support panel, but actually decided against it because I felt it was too period specific, especially when considering the connotations inherent in it.

Anyway, here it is:


Of course, it is the Vestal parked next to the Arizona. Not exactly the image I want to see again and again while in the middle of an island hopping campaign in '44, but it could set the tone perfectly in '41.

I did some experimenting with the in-game flags this morning to help correct something that has been bugging me - the DEI has been tricking me into thinking I'm color blind.

To me, the famous Dutch 'Oranje' has on the in-game flag has looked a bit too... black. So I decided to inject some new life into the flags - and what a difference! Color perception/preference is a highly subjective field (and depends on monitor type, color calibration, etc. etc.), but I'd be curious to see what others think. I've attached my modified flag art as a zip file below. Just drop into your game ART folder, and you're good to go (but first make backups of the originals in case you don't like the new look [;)]). Also, as a disclaimer I'm pretty sure that my 'old' flag files are mods themselves, so the true game originals could be just fine.

I didn't modify all the flags as I felt some were just fine (if it's not broken, don't fix it!).

In addition, I stumbled onto a neat interface improvement along the way. Once I decided that I was keeping the new flags, I knew I would need to update the flags with the supply warnings/indicators. But I noticed keeping the 'old' flags with the indicators helps visually differentiate the bases that warrant attention, as it sometimes can be easy to miss the thin exclamation marks on a cursory scan of a region. The darker flag even abstracts to the "power being out" (or soon to be).

Here's an example:

'New' Australian flag on left, 'old' flag on right w/ warning indicator:

I've made some additional tweaks/additions to my Allied Mission art; attached is my current A_Mission.bmp file for anyone to use. It is a combination of Halsey's and my own work.

You're welcome [:)]

I've updated it a bit, with new Replenishment and Amphibious panels, as well as, an improved Air Transport panel.

Hello there,

I have installed again the game after a couple of years playing other options (but as usual I come back to the "king") and I was wondering if you can help me to find a good art pack. for ships, airplanes, etc.

Thank you very much!

There are others, but they are scattered.
Maybe others will post their links.[;)]
