RHS Standard Allied Ship Art Issued

[el cid again]

We have a reviewed and revised set of Allied ship art. It can be unzipped directly in the art folder (which I don't recommend - I prefer the safety of backup folders). It corresponds to x.7871 comprehensive - which will upload as soon as it is packaged. A few pointers changed - either to permit use of separate art now - or in future. Mostly art was put in sync with pointers. And one pointer error (for the last Fletcher upgrade) was fixed.

This art WILL work with older games - you just won't benefit from new images in them. It also facilitates later art for some classes that right now share art.

Mifune will post this to the RHS site - and it is now uploaded (actually forwarded) to the primary distribution list. It was done by alvrmartin - who I think is M10Bob. It is done to the proposed stock/CHS/RHS standards and it includes art from more than one source.

The new Allied ship art is uploaded to the RHS web site. The new art is found in the Basic Install folder.

Sid -

The new ship art is not for RHS EOS - or am I mistaken?

RHS ship art is universal. Not all images are used in any given scenario, but all scenarios are covered. It does not matter what level or scenario you use.

The art set is missing art for pointer 476 - so I will distribute that until a revised set is released tomorroe. This is for an obscure Soviet auxiliary - and it does not really matter if you have the art - or not. Further - the art I have is not quite right anyway - we need new art for it - and will get it in time.

The new art is missing one bitmap - 476. I uploaded it and 3 other sets of bitmaps as a special upload.
If you get the new art you only need 476. If for some reason you don't want to use it, you should use all four.

Only Lion (196) is original art for the class. The others are similar images for use until special art exists.

I am going to transmit the art again - with one additional set of bitmaps added - because of advice it is missing. This is a workaround - someday it too will probably be a special bitmap - right now it is a copy of a sister class.
