More Historical Sprites

Unit Sprite Fidelity Bundle

Description
A more expansive, ambitious and slightly higher-effort companion mod to my previous one.

Recolours many countries' generic on-map uniforms (which are rather awkwardly based on the colours of the corresponding nations' coats-of-arms for some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ reason) to slightly more historical combinations.

The "slightly" is owed to the fact that the current game version is rather constrained when it comes to unit sprites; You can only pick up to three colours per nation (tunic, trousers and cap respectively, with the trouser colour also painting cuffs, collars and cap details) to cover the entire game setting (1830s to 1930s).
According to my not-so-professional opinion, this is definitely a placeholder mechanism that's destined to be overhauled by the devs in a future expansion. Once (or if) that rolls around, this mod will be broken and will have to be either replaced from scratch or retired. So there's your heads-up.

I have also taken some artistic licence to make the sprites look pleasing, dapper and presentable from the player's typical bird's eye view.

Current nations:

- UK
- FRANCE
- RUSSIA
- AUSTRIA
- PRUSSIA
- US
- OTTOMAN EMPIRE

- NETHERLANDS
- BELGIUM
- SPAIN
- PORTUGAL
- SARDINIA-PIEDMONT
- TWO SICILIES
- PAPAL STATES
- SWEDEN
- DENMARK
- MEXICO
- BRAZIL
- JAPAN
- EAST INDIA COMPANY, AUSTRALIA, CANADA (generic British colonial pattern)
- PHILIPPINES, CUBA, PUERTO RICO, SANTO DOMINGO (inspired by colonial Rayadillo pattern)
- BAVARIA
- SAXONY
- SWITZERLAND
- GREECE
- GREAT QING

- AUSTRIA-HUNGARY
- ITALY
- CSA
- GERMANY (based on the pre-WW1 'Feldgrau')

Update 1.1:
- KOREA
- SIAM
- COLOMBIA; GRAN COLOMBIA
- ARGENTINA
- CHILE
- PARAGUAY
- URUGUAY
- HANOVER
- BADEN
- WURTTEMBERG
- HESSE
- NORTH GERMAN FEDERATION (Prussian colours)
- SOUTH GERMAN FEDERATION (Bavarian colours)
- PERSIA

Update 1.2
- NORWAY
- CEYLON (generic British colonial pattern)
- EGYPT
- ETHIOPIA (pre-Mussolini Khaki colours)
- POLAND
- HUNGARY
- SERBIA
- ROMANIA

1.3
- DUTCH EAST INDIES
- HAWAII, POLYNESIA
- BOLIVIA
- ECUADOR
- VENEZUELA
- PERU
- HAITI

I highly recommend using this mod alongside those of the talented Zwei833 the Buggy Modder, whose work has served as a major inspiration, specifically his German Unit Models Pack and Soldiers Patrolling at Peace Time.
They should be compatible.

My previous mod (Back To Black) is also compatible, albeit largely redundant.

I just checked the mod folder, there's two 00_countries and two 01_africa files. Now, I'm not an expert in modding, but I assume that since there are two files in the same folder holding the same definitions, the game will try to read both of them and crash out. No wonder everyone is reporting this happening.

There are couple things that need to be done. First is to delete the files titled [OLD]. You don't need them in the workshop version, save them somewhere else in your hard drive, not in the published version.

Second, as everyone is suggesting, rename the files that are in use (the 99_dynamic one is exactly the same as in vanilla, so you don't need to include it). That means that changes such as additions in the vanilla files won't need to be added into the mod, so there won't be any immediate problem once a new tag is added in vanilla. Also, with a renamed file you don't have to keep all the existing tags in your mod, you can just have the ones you included special sprites for.

@Atvishees Also, the game keeps crashing with your mod. Maybe you should fix and update according to the suggestions below. Thank you!

@Zwei833 the Buggy Modder I have a question, why "HMS_98_countries.txt"? So by doing this we don't need all the txt docs like in Vic3 folder on the different regions? We can just put all the ones we change in there? And what about the alphabetic order? Necessary or not?

Hello? I am also having issues with it now.
Why are you not following their suggestions? I don't understand.

Hore Mistorical Sprites? 😛

All the base game country definitions live in files whose names start with numerals so just `MHS_countries.txt` would work fine; the 98 is unnecessary

@Atvishees

Still crashing. I also think you should take @1230james 's suggestion, that would be far more convenient for future updates.

It is very simple,
(1) delete all your files under common\country_definitions of your mod.
(2) in common\country_definitions, add a new file called "HMS_98_countries.txt"
(3) copy the strings of countries you modified into that new txt. like

GER = {
color = { 147 130 110 }

country_type = recognized

tier = empire

cultures = { north_german south_german }
capital = STATE_BRANDENBURG

primary_unit_color = { 59 64 62 }
secondary_unit_color = { 59 64 62 }
tertiary_unit_color = { 0 0 0 }

}

don;t copy strings of countries you didn;t modified.

How about now?

Unfortunately the mod crashes the game again after latest game update.

Did you read the wiki page I linked? It explains all that and how to utilize it correctly
