Color pictures by PIBWL - release 2

Pibwl · #1 October 23rd, 2015, 04:46 PM

I've made a consolidated pack of my color pictures for WinSPWW2 version 8.1, which had been scattered in multiple files through topic http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showthread.php?t=49519. If you are not familiar with them so far, you can read more about the color pictures in that subject.

If you had installed all previous files colorWinSPWW2a...p, you don't have to install these, unless you want to make sure you have all newest pictures in order. I've removed most of unused pictures in this release, that had been in use before.

Second part of a consolidated pack. New updates will follow, if there is an interest.

You may install the pack after WinSPWW2 version 8.1 to make sure you have all the pictures.

I am interested but I'd like to see some previews of it in action or examples before I commit to a mod

I won't make screenshots, but the pictures look like on my page http://derela.republika.pl/colorp1.htm . You can download the pack and preview them with any picture browser recognizing lbm files.

The pictures should be copied into ...\WinSPWW2\Game Data\Pictures folder - it is recommended to create a backup copy of the folder first, if you want to return to black & white photos. Then, you can simply swap folders' names.

I may add there is currently 2540 pictures, minus a couple of alternatives.

Hrm. While I admire the work you've done with these I rather like the more characterful photos the infantry currently get (as opposed to just a color drawing of their weapon), especially in the German and Russian ORBATs. I'll have to give it a miss but thank you for your reply.

I didn't assign pictures to regular infantry - only snipers, machine gun teams, AT teams and mortars. If you like the rest, you can delete the weapons manually before copying to Pictures folder, but I don't insist

An update should be in about week (finally!).

The first update after WinSPWW2 version 9.0b Upgrade patch.

Along with previous files, it covers almost all Germany, Great Britain, USA, USMC, Poland (with LWP), USSR, Spain(s), Canada, ANZAC, Japan and for the first time: Bulgaria, Greece, Manchukuo (well, there are only two unique aircraft for this one). Some other countries are mostly covered. Several pictures got improved or were cleaned.

You may note, that a camouflage of B-17 and B-24 and some other planes reflects icons

Nice work, PIBWL.

PIBWL,

Do you happen to have the LBM picture map in an Excel file instead of a text file?

I would like to sort the map by nation.
I can convert the text file to Excel, but it's a bit messy and would require a lot clean up.

Thanks,

Cross
