Unpacked Terrain Sprites

Post by Saddletank »

Many years ago as some will know, the original TC2M and Gettysburg used unpacked terrain sprites. You got a .dds graphic file of each sprite and a gfx.csv to identify them in-game. The sprites were put into a "Terrain" folder inside the "Graphics" folder.

Later, Gettysburg was changed so that terrain sprites became packed onto one sheet and a .plist file was added. The .dds and .plist file snow went into a "packed" folder within the "Graphics" folder.

I am in search of the original unpacked sprites. Some modder may have a copy of the .dds and .gfx files somewhere on their PC, and, best of all, if Jolly's vegetation mod was ever released in unpacked format, to get my hands on a copy of that would be great.

And if any other vegetation mods were ever made in unpacked format, being able to have these would also be great.

If anyone can help, please contact me here or via PM.

Many thank yous.

True, the TC2M Graphics are still in the default state of being unpacked. If you still have that game Installed you should have a Copy of those files.

SaddleTank - If you have the Original Download from when the "SOWGB" that was released the "Sprites" in it are unpacked.

They were only packed in the new "PNG" files after that release in a later Patch.

The only true logic is that, there is no true logic!
