Hi gunship24.

Any news on when you might be releasing low rez sprites?

If I just have to resize the files like the other game then they will be out with this update as a batch resize will be quick. If I have to make new renders and sprite sheets it might be a few weeks after.

May I ask please whether there are any firm plans or timing aim re British sprites
Thanks

There will be a Peninsula addon after this one. I did lots of Waterloo sprites for the other game so there are sprites but they all need re-rendering. I wanted to do something on one of the other campaigns to suit the maps that the game came with which dont look very Peninsula. The good thing about the Peninsula is that the British records for OOBs are very detailed, escpecially with Wellington's dispatches with cover casualties and returns. Even the French records are good, so OOBs should be easier to do, plus the array of uniforms is alot smaller than the Wagram campaign.

Gun,

Thanks for all your hard work! The new sprites look outstanding. Looking forward to the Peninsula Campaign troops. Looking forward to commanding the KGL. My Mom's family is from Hanover, (Family name Von Trimpa), and some of my distant relatives served in Spain in the KGL. Woot!

Question - will I have to edit the existing Modded OOBs to bring in the new sprites or not? It's okay if I do. Started gearing up for it last night, just in case.

Redcoat,

You might want to dabble a bit on the MP side of this game. The community is really good and the game-play can be outstanding. I play MP very infrequently, due to my screwed up life schedule, but it can be great fun. Don't cut yourself out just yet.

Many thanks Gunship-- these sprites are so good and the range of uniform types is becoming so much more comprehensive than I recall with the add-on with 2 Manassas, I am just drooling to get my hands on a British force.
Will look forward to the Peninsula ---many thanks again

Yes, although i dont know what they are called yet but will most likely be the same as Austrian but with BAV_ instead of AUS_.

Gun,

No problem - Have had lots of practice lately :laugh:

gunship,
If it would help, I have a lot of Peninsula OOBs for TC2M, large and small. I know you can do better, but, with the help of the OOB converter, maybe they would be a good start for you. I'm really glad to hear you'll be doing Peninsula sprites!
