http://bluejacket.com/usn_ship_insig_ad-ap.html

http://bluejacket.com/usn_ship_insig_ar-av.html

There are other ships at the bluejacket.com site.


Also, the 8th Photo Sdrn art I submitted looks as it was a patch after the era, here is the one probably more applicable:

Got some updates coming soon...
Cleaned up the KNIL AGP's.
I didn't like the Lt Green ring around some of the wings.

I've also got some IJAAF, IJNAF and Soviet pilot wings to use in place of insignias.
It just takes time doing all the renaming of the bitmaps.

Anyone want to tackle these?
I've got the bitmap protege's, and I'll gladly share the workload.
They just have to be copied and renamed for the airgroups.

Any takers?

Halsey, I used the following MS-DOS code in a batch file to create the 546 correctly named bitmaps in about 15 seconds for the IJN ship patch placeholders from the original file "SHP_0000-16.bmp". There is no need to do this by hand.

Give me a few minutes and I'll whip you up a batch file that should do what you want..... 

@REM initialize test value to be "true"
@SET intCounter=1

:while

@REM test condition
@IF %intCounter% GTR 546 (GOTO wend)

@REM procedure where condition is "true"
@echo %intCounter%

@SET pre=000
@IF %intCounter% GTR 99 (@SET pre=0)
@IF %intCounter% GTR 99 (@goto cont)

@IF %intCounter% GTR 9 (@SET pre=00)

:cont
@echo %pre%
@copy SHP_0000-16.bmp SHP_%pre%%intCounter%.bmp

@REM set new test value
@SET /a intCounter=intCounter+1

@REM loop
@GOTO while

:wend

@PAUSE

AGP/SHP/LCU Patch Replication Tool - 9/8/2010 11:20:52 AM   
Reg

Status: offline 		Well that didn't take long.

Attached below is a small tool that will create a series of sequentially numbered placeholder bitmap files in the format required for AGP/SHP/LCU patches from a single master file. This should save you heaps of time renaming files.

Instructions:

  • Download and unzip the attached batch file into a convenient location.
  • Copy the master bitmap file into the same folder location.
  • Open a MS-DOS shell (Command Prompt window) and use the CD command to navigate to the folder the batch file and the master bitmap files are located.

    Now for the good bit.

  • Type "makebmp.bat masterfile.bmp type 1 2"

    Where:
    makebmp.bat is the batchfile name (as supplied)
    masterfile.bmp is the name of the bitmap image file to be duplicated (in this case your pilot wing files)
    Type is the prefix of the new file name ie AGP or SHP or LCU etc
    1 is the number of the first image (no leading zeros)
    2 is the number of the last image (no leading zeros) - maximum of 9999

  • Look in the current folder for the new image files.


For example:

makebmp.bat master.bmp AGP 45 48

Creates the following files which are all identical to master.bmp:
AGP_0045.bmp
AGP_0046.bmp
AGP_0047.bmp
AGP_0048.bmp

Just be careful when you enter the command line as I didn't include any error checking.

Have fun and let me know how you get on.

Thanks!

Here is what I use, it is only 60x60 instead of 70x70 though, as I only use that.It's pretty easy to make yourself if you want a larger one, just take a screenshot of a ship-screen without an emblem and crop out the part you want.

After a bit of a break, here's a another aircraft rotating art file.

This is a GM FM-2 in USN Gloss Blue livery plus a bonus SO3C-2 with blue Stars'n'Bars.

I did it from scratch so I'm afraid it's not up to Cathartes' usual standards.

Download file is in the next post.
