Need some CTP1 units tgas

[Pedrunn]

I download Chris B ctp1 unit pictures for CTP2. I wanted the Phantom, the Star Cruiser, the Subneural Ad and the Paratrooper pictures. Wich only the Paratrooper worked out. The others three gives me game crashs when open its file in the Library or the Cheat mode. Clearly there are a problem with the files.

I also tried MartinG's collection of CivCTP unit but i could not figure out the unit to its file (no reference) and there were only one file per unit intead of the needed three.

So could some help me find these pictures, please?

Thanks in advance

I already posted this here, yesterday. One time again:

I needed a lot of time to screencapture all these big unit pictures. Therefore I just made the big ones. To get the proper size I just would shrink down them. But fortunatly I used zfsread to extract the rest of the images and you are right I forgut to put into the *.zip file the CTP1 uniticon. The picture names in this *.zip file follows the CTP1 names in the uniticon.

Here are the small pictures and the uniticon.txt 383.279 kb should be OK for the size limit.

The sprites 1 part of the Medpack II has all the Ctp 1 sprites used in the mod in it. I did not use the space units, though. The pics-n-vids part has the pictures you would need.

To make it easier concerning the CTP1 sprites just check the folder:

..\ctp2_data\default\graphics\sprites

There you find unit sprites like GU01.spr and GU001.spr. The ones with the tree digits are CTP2 sprites the ones with just two digits are used in CTP1. But I think you can take access on the ones with only two digits by editing for example the newsprite.txt:

For example if you outcomment this line in newsprite.txt:

SPRITE_FUSION_TANK 78

Than CTP2 should use the according line in spriteDB.txt. However the number for that sprite there is the same. But as I remember it from a different thread it should take access on the GUXX.spr ones.

I am using the MM2_newsprite as model to include new units. Because i dont want to overwrite anyone of my MM2 files (although i am using an old version of it). And since i am creating version 2.0 of absolute state (this one i plan to finish all up) i dont want nobody to overwrite theirs.

I do not have problems with the sprites they are all fine. The problem is the tgas. Since i could not find for those 3 units (they do work with pre-existent pictures like the stealth bomber for star cruiser, etc).

I am still going to test what is in your attachment, Martin.

will one of you please point me in the direction of a thread or site were I can download some of the ctp 1 sprites I haven't already got

[Martin Gühmann]

I guess you mean fan created sprites, here is a page:

http://www.estetiksoft.de/ctpfiles/ctpunits.html

For Activision CTP1 sprites as I already said (more or less) just take a look into your ..\ctp2_data\default\graphics\sprites.

There you will find sprites with just two numbers like gu01.spr that are the CTP1 default ones.

So you mean you need the sprite numbers of the space cities. Just open the cityid.txt in your ..\ctp_data\default\gamedata\ folder of course you can also open the file that you find in the according CTP2 directory, both files are identical. And search for these lines:

GENETIC_SPACE_1				48
GENETIC_SPACE_2				49
GENETIC_SPACE_3				50
GENETIC_SPACE_4				51
GENETIC_SPACE_5				52
GENETIC_SPACE_6				53
GENETIC_SPACE_7				54

And than you know the sprite numbers for the space cities.

I was not a CTP1 modder so i didnt even tried to look for it since i didnt know what to look for. You just saved me from this search. And it was rigth in front of me in the CTP2 gamedata.

Thanks Martin

[The Big Mc]

So I take it you don’t need the sprites .
