Modified tiles.dll in a ww2 style

[Steff]

Currently I am working on a modified version of the tiles.dll file in a ww2 style. Has anybody already some experience in it or already made on ?

Any ideas where I can get some good pictures, especially paintings, no photos.

The first menue is already done......

[Dr. Nick]

Italian infantry was 'Bersaglieri"

[Steff]

Thanx for the info, I will correct it....

Here are two more examples....

[Steff]

and the next one

[Cyrion]

They look very good Steff, except that the last one is a bit "blurry"!

And the Bersaglieri were not the common italian infantry, but an elite one!

[Steff]

The last one is not as good as the first ones, thats right. I will change it soon...

But it is not very easy to find suitable pictures as the size of the pictures is limited by civ. Every good picture i find is too big

Now to the italian infantry. How should i name it, as "italian infantry" is too big ? So I thought about Bersaglieri or Alpini, but both are elite troops.
Whats your suggestion ?

[Cyrion]

I would keep Bersaglieri, and make them as strong as, for instance, normal Whermacht: so elite italian is equivalent to common infantry in other countries!

[Steff]

OK, already done.....

[Dr. Nick]

It's in bloody deutsche! I only just realised. The backgrounds look very nice.

All looks great man!
What do you use to edit the dll?

If you've got ToT you could use some of the dlls from my Final Days scenario

[Steff]

Spader, for editing the .dlls i use the Gif Xtractor and Paint Shop Pro. Editor for FW/MGE is attached (if it works).

Now to the bloody deutsche Version .......
The Beta Version is completely in German. A release will of course be in english.

thanks for the link

Looks nice, Steff!
I never thought about editing the dlls, although there are already some scenarios with that feature.

I just began playing with Gif Xtractor, it's funny.
Here's an example, what i did so far..
