Status: offline 		You can find here the graphics which will allow you to create new units to enrich mods after WW2 (like the "Heroes of the Gap" mod available here : http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3584401).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the creators of mods, you take (right click/save as) graphics files (127x127 px BMP) such as they are (without numbers),
you assemble them in a BMP file corresponding to the game and you create the UNITS.CSV file with the units which you want.
You post these files.
With the UNITS.CSV file, I can add the values which have to appear on the file of the unit and I re-assemble the whole in a similar BMP file as your original.
Then I post these BMP files,
and you can add them to your finished mod.
In this way, the numbers of the unit are registered only when they are definitive.

If you wish for units which are not present here, do not hesitate to ask me for them.
I would indulge to create them.

I think the Leopard 2 is a good Main Battle Tank. "Mean" in this case is saying it's tough.

The counters look great!

Status: offline 		The numbers have to be determined by modders (you maybe ?) And to put in a units.xls file, then i can add them to the graphics.
That's the major point to do. To determine these numbers is very hard because they must be coordinate with the existing units in game.
You can inspire yourself with the modern units included in the "heroes of the gap" mod soon available in the download mods thread.

If you want to make a custom unit from your .bmp you have to do two things:

1. Go to "Matrix Games\Lock n Load Heroes of Stalingrad\Custom" and open "Sprites.csv." In "Sprites.csv" you give the .bmp a sprite ID number and map to the .bmp location.

2. In "Matrix Games\Lock n Load Heroes of Stalingrad\Custom" open "Units.csv." Add the unit's stats there, including the correct Sprite ID, column and row of the .bmp, and the counter back column/row if necessary for the unit type.
