"New" Unit Graphics

[PBBoeye]

Preview of alternate Confeddy general image I am creating. I need to color his hat grey, however.

Those are really cool!

I have decided to drop one of my rather ambitious graphics projects. Instead of creating a rash of new scenarios, models, etc. just to display new graphics I have decided that I will just post over-writes of existing graphics (with backups of originals). It will save me a lot of time creating a mod that just changes graphics, so I can focus a bit more on pure graphics as well as a side mod that changes some unit stats as well. When I get home, tomorrow, I will release what I have for the Union (which is basically done).

[PBBoeye]

Excellent. I agree with you - I think you'll enjoy it just as much with your modified replacements as you would with a massive army of images which would suck down your time. Better to put it elsewhere!

[McNaughton]

Here's what I have for a basic release of Union unit graphics. Simply unzip in the ACW directory and say yes for overwrite.

Now, I packed them using WINRAR, but the upload system here only accepts files with ZIP attachment. So if you are having difficulties, I recommend using WINRAR to unzip the files.

Also included is a backup file, simply unzip, then copy the Graphics directory to your ACW directory and overwrite all folders and files (it only overwrites the graphics I modded).

I haven't put in the US Militia yet.

An "easier" way to have a backup, is to copy your entire AACW-directory, and then apply the mod to the copy. Just remember to start the game with the correct program, i.e. the one in the copied directory

It says the ZIP is damaged? Can be me, or not.

It is actually packaged using WINRAR, renamed to ZIP so it could be posted here via the board's posting system (which only allows for zip files). I will get WINZIP and create a actual zip files.

Here is a quick attempt at new unit graphics from a few months ago:

US Arty-------US HQ-----US Engineers 1--US Engineers 2--US Navy Eng--6th PA Cav(Rush's Lancers)--US Inf Column--------CSA Cav
---------------------

If anyone wants to include them in a mod let me know.
If you want to "steal" them and claim them as your own that's cool too.

[PBBoeye]

Mmmm. Some of those are pretty sharp.

I see the dawn of a mod community forming up!!

WinRar can do that too, I often have to do that so to be sure people can open it, some don't have winrar.

I'd love to use them at the wiki, if it's OK?

[PBBoeye]

Full pants (no pantaloonies)
Shaved the Lil' Hitler mustache
Darker hat

No Problem,
Let me know which ones to upload or PM me with an email address.

Why not all of them? I figure the various unit types will have articles describing them, and your graphics will be nice to illustrate those pages (for instance)

[tc237]

Here you go.
Hope they work out for you.

They are showing up as invalid attachments

No [color="Red"]Backups[/color] this time - you're on your own.

[PBBoeye]

These could be redundant with my other HQ units that I posted previously. Nonetheless, someone might want to use these alternate generic images (used for the leaderless faces) but stock HQ images, or vice versa. They're here for whatever mix you want.

Four images total; two examples shown:

Back up your files. I'm not uploading originals anymore.

Back up your originals - I'm no longer uploading them.

Hi McNaughton I did not know this thread existed


In the rar file you posted there are only USA units, however in the previous screenshots there ara several CSA units too. Were this units ever released?


Thanks

[tagwyn]

Only if Havely agrees to do it!!! t

[Eugene Carr]

I've been using McNaughtons unit graphics since the time of his Brigade Mod.
Its one of the reasons I learned to use the csv splitter.

Missed some of these others tho, nice to get more variety for the CSA.

[PANGI]

McNaughton, did you ever release the confederates?

[McNaughton]

Whoops, sorry, been held up with massive amounts of VgN work the past 1.5 years or so... These Confederate graphics are on my old computer (shows how long ago I worked on them ). I can possibly upload them whenever I get that old machine running again.
