19th Century

Does anyone know if there is a 19th century icons for man of war ships of the era which someone has made. I thought someone had made some 19th century stuff, but cannot remember who or where to look.

I found the following Non-modern AT scenarios, in the scenario bank, using gun powder (I hope they scratch the surface of what you are looking for):

XVII Century:
- https://www.vrdesigns.net/scenario.php?nr=120
- A mod made by Eric Heiser, back in late 2010. Musket and Pike.

Invasion of Zululand:
- https://www.vrdesigns.net/scenario.php?nr=134
- A mod about the invasion of Zululand late 1800s, made by Spelk, early 2011.

American Civil War:
- https://www.vrdesigns.net/scenario.php?nr=1
- A mod that allows you to replay the American Civil War. Made by Tweber, late 2007.

Diplomacy Napoleonic Wars:
- https://www.vrdesigns.net/scenario.php?nr=15
- A mod made to simulate the Napoleonic wars on the European Diplomacy Map. Made by Alarick, mid 2008.

These should contain some non-standard counters. They are old, I know, all using the AT platform. Graphics are probably not great, but that is what I could find there was for the AT/ATG platform.

Thanks for helping me locate stuff. After taking a look at them, they are not what I'm needing, but some are close. What I was hoping someone made was ship icons that look like the war game " war and peace" from 1980.

Is this the game:

Any of these ships that would work?

[lion_of_judah]

Ernie, yes these work fantastic, thank you very much. Now a new problem. I reduced them in size "38x38" and the background painted pink, which is suppose to be transparent, but when on the unit it shows the ship, plus the pink background. I'm i suppose to save it in png format or bmp? Thanks

[lion_of_judah]

Here is an example of the ship. I have saved it in a bmp format, so I will see if this works

[lion_of_judah]

Ernie
nope, even with the image now saved in bmp format, the pink background still shows on the unit.......

[ernieschwitz]

It's supposed to be saved as a PNG, with a transparent background. If the background isn't transparent, make it transparent.

[lion_of_judah]

K, stupid question. How do you make it transparent without erasing the background. I also thought that pink was automatically transparent. Thanks

[lion_of_judah]

never mind as I was able to figure it out. It still needs work, but for now it will suffice.
