New FG' 85 Graphics Mod

New FG' 85 & NGP Graphics Mod, 2D & 3D

Gentlemen,
I am one of the few wargamers who never played the board versions, and I know most of you play in 2D mode, but I find it a little more difficult to see the units in 2D( they are very small) and I also like to get the info that the 3D counters give....hence, I took some of my work from my Eagle Strike 3D mod (Eagles Strike 3D mod info )
and applied it to FG'85.

Let me know what you guys think. It is in its infancy, and a work in progress, as I have alot more to do, and I will eventually port it to the 2D mode AND other PzC games.

Thanks,
DaViLLaN

A very nice improvement (but I am still a 2D player...)

I'll try this! The best thing is the new greenish ground, more eye-friendly and realistic.

Is this only for Fulda Gap or for NGP, too?

 

[Xhaos]

I think it will work for NGP also. I dont own NGP so I personaly cannot test it.
As long as the hexes are the same size and I am pretty sure all of the PzC and MC games use the same size hexes, so theoretically, This mod can be used in Any of the games.

When I get a little further I can send the files to someone with NGP to test it for me.

 

[grasovka]

That would be nice! For me, the most important thing is the new ground-gfx.

finished the 2D mode terrain mod for Fulda Gap and North German Plains.

If anyone is interested in helping me test it, or you want to try it out, please email me at

dave@nolessthaneverything.com

As of now, they arent available for download from the site. I am working on that though.


Thanks!

I gotta say lush and green is looking pretty good!

Thanks!

 

[grasovka]

Very nice!

 

[Xhaos]

Thanks guys!

Soon, I will have the mod(s) available for download directly from the site.
It is my bands website, so I have to clean up the directory structures, and make sure I have enough space available for upload... etc, and even though our site is under construction, I have to make sure I dont use too much bandwidth.

Ill keep you updated.

In 2D-mode some NATO-symbols are not fully displayed - I think you should leave them as the were before. In 3D-mode there are some display-problems when hex-fields are activated.

 

[Xhaos]

Thanks for helping me test it!

Those two issues are already fixed. I just havent uploaded a new version yet.
I redid the counters also. I will try to post a new version MON or TUES

Would be cool if the elevation hexsides were made too look like slopes instead of cliffs. With the lighter elevation grade scale it would make everything look a lot nicer in 3D for PzC and MC.
