The "Splash" screens are stored in the
...Shrapnel Games/Game Data/Pictures/Interface
folder.
Just replace the MCPPic, MCPPic1, MCPPic2, MCPPic3 files.

Mark's Links seem to be broken... Can get to his site but no longer seem to be able to find the screens or Das Reich files.

DAS Reich 1.0P

I changed the URL from /Games/SPanthers to /Games/SP/

Sorry about that; but I intend to eventually put up an icon database, and I need to economize on URL length (even in 2016).

UPDATE:

Version 1.1P (compatible with WinSPMBT 10) is here!

Now, who would like to help me develop and test some scenarios for the mod?

MarkSheppard · #4 April 26th, 2016, 04:13 PM

I've actually got an idea for a few scenarios.

Here are three American strategic bombers.

The B36, a B52 in silver with stars and stripes on the wings and a B70.

I made these a while ago but I think you will like them.

Here's a fixed version of ICON0188.shp -- the Ju 252 icons were off-color with incorrect palette conversions, losing a bit of detail. I re-input them into the SHP file and rebuilt their offsets, plus I made a modified color LBM for the Fa. 223Z.

This file contains 68 color LBMs that are a start at replacing the PM11211 - PM11485 LBM series that show up at random intervals on the game menu screens to add more immersion to DAS REICH.

Switzerland Must Be Swallowed!
Gebirgsjäger Air Assault

Date: June 1948
Location: Switzerland

Essentially, the Swiss find out in a series of scenarios that their alpine redoubt(s) are no longer impregnable, once the Heer deploys air assault units with the first primitive helicopters -- I checked, and the majority of Switzerland is well within the payload capacity of the 1.5 generation of piston helicopters (at altitude).

Interesting idea. Keep them coming.

My machine is on its last legs at the moment. Its an HP Compaq 6730b. So it is quite long in the tooth. I've saved all the important stuff - SPMBT related files etc. As this one likes to over-heat - leading to a BSOD in one case - I'll likely have to get a new machine. Any suggestions?
