Coming Soon : Character Mod for Gettysburg OOB (Patch 1.5 compatible)

Post by Crikey »

Character Mod:

This mod is similar to the character mod I produced for TCM2. When released, it will be for sandbox only.

IMPORTANT: There are limitations. The generals will only look like themselves when standing still. They'll revert to the stock packed commander sprites when moving. Not all generals will be covered.

Why? These sprites are amended by hand. Doing a full set of animations is far beyond my patience level and would be a further drain on game memory.

If, like me, you want Lee looking on as you move to the attack, then this mod will let that happen.

NY C - I've left the bodies unchanged so that there isn't too much of a difference between stock and mod. It'd be quite jarring to have such a big difference between how a character looks when moving and when standing still. Of course you can always give a Hill a red shirt if you want. Just use a paint program to colour him in. ;)

nice! when they are standing still, does it matter what side you look at them from?

The 'look' is 360 degrees. But only when standing still. B)

Crikey,
Is this just a port of the old character pack that you transposed the heads to the current sprite frames?
They seem more detailed. It looks great!
