Status: offline 		Was never an artist but while running my late4st AI test I was trying to incorporate art for some of the Kriegsmarine ships and Luftwaffe Air units in some of the nastier ironman mods but I realised I simply don't know how to do it ??

1. What do I need just a side for a ship and 3 images for each plane type
2. Where do put them in the folders and how do I name them etc
3. Does anyone have some good German art I can use will need German and Italian Navy sides and air craft images

Help please never really did the art side of WITP just enjoyed the results !!!

Hi Andy, the file structure is as follows:
The aircraft art panels are individually pasted into these six files;
Jptop.bmp
Jptop_alpha.bmp
J_PlaneSide.bmp
Aptop.bmp
Aptop_alpha.bmp
A_PlaneSide.bmp

These files all go in the Art Folder(root)

For ships there are:
AnSidexxxx.bmp - this goes in the ART/AlliedShip_Back folder
AnShilxxxx.bmp - this goes in the ART/AlliedShip_Transp folder
JnSidexxxx.bmp - this goes in the ART/JapShip_Back folder
JnShilxxxx.bmp - this goes in the ART/JapShipShils_transp folder

For artwork on Axis powers other than Japan, I'm not sure who has them ready made, but I would try Gary Childress - I believe he has done many

What Brian has stated above is quite true.

However, there is a far more elegant way to insert individual aircraft images. All you should need to know can be found in the document "AEArtmodifications.zip" attached to the first post at the link below. (See the section on Single Aircraft Images).

Art Mods

It was written by MichaelM so it is the definitive document.

Have a read and we will answer any questions you may have.

Have a look at this thread to see how it is done....

EDIT: Cathartes did all of my mod's aircraft artwork, so I never had to get into that 'nitty-gritty' ....ALL HAIL Cathartes!
