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 is expected in a week or two...

The first update to the consolidated pack.

Along with previous files, we have covered almost all Germany, Great Britain, USA, USMC, Poland (with LWP), USSR, Italy, Spain(s), Canada, ANZAC, India, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Yugoslavia, Belgium, the Netherlands.

There are also most of Japan, France, Hungary, and several pictures from other countries.

Enjoy!

An update is under construction - should be in about month.

This file should be installed after our rel2a, b and c files and official WinSPWW2 version 9.0b Upgrade patch - it restores 1541 color pictures, that had been overwritten by that upgrade patch. There are no new pictures, comparing with rel2a, b and c files. You may want to create a backup copy of the Pictures folder first.

If you had installed the game and version 9.0 patch first, you can omit this file and install our colorWinSPWW2_rel2a, b and c files only.

A regular update with new or reassigned pictures should be in about month.
