For WinSPWW2 and WinSPMTB

How to install: Back up (if you want) old files in "...\Game Data\Graphics" folder and overwrite them with new ones.

Icon pack for WinSPWW2 is different to icon pack for WinSPMTB.
Use the proper one.

All graphic was painted by me and you can do whatever you want with it. :)

[roberttt]

Because:

I like em and Im going to use them when your finnished.

Is it possible to add like a few dots of color here and there to different types of soldiers of a nation? Like black helmets of SS units? Or red dots for US army rangers? That would look cool.

As one of the older crowd with poor vision, thanks for thinking of us.
I think I liked the first gen better. Less shine on top.
When you are finished, I would also like a brown set for Allies and a tan set for Axis

Yes. but is there a way to add more than 5 color sets into a game?

Making one set take me one hour. I use smart-heavy PS actions.

about the shines:

Nice work roberttt! :cool:

Maybe you can 'dull' the shine down a bit by using a light gray instead of white.

Roberttt - Looks great! I like these ones over first ones you did. I particlarly like the prone soldier in that second shot. This is a mod that I would like to use just because you can acually see the guys. I've been known to miss soldiers because their hard to see, even with the flags sometimes.

Cross - What? Where? When? How? and most importantly - WHY?! Tell me you didn't take that shot for this tread. I must admit, he's a cute little blighter. :D

[roberttt]

Yes, these were hard-working days :).

Seems to be completed, now testing.

Remember the old German "whisper joke":

Hitler & Co is watching a parade. Hitler asks Himmler: "Why do they have a turtle leading the parade?"
Himmler replies: "That is no turtle, mein Führer, it is Goebbels wearing a steel helmet."

explosions have shockwaves, shadows and new colors. :)

Overwrite old files in "Game Data\Graphics" folder in your WW2 and MTB.

I tried the new graphics last night. I have to admit that they look even better on the computer then the page below. NICE WORK, roberttt :cheers:

Great work. Probably is it possible to improve flame graphics also ? For example of a destroyed tank ?
