Title: Squad Art Submission
Post by: sullie363 on December 12, 2004, 01:49:11 PM

So how does this work exactly?  Once you put your properly formatted bitmap in your squads folder and then click upload in the game, what happens?  How long does it take for the art to show up and how often are they updated for all the other players?

I "think" squad art is disabled at the present time.

I think it had been disabled when AH2 started, but is active now. (at least its visible on the nose of my aircraft).

make a bmp file  8 bit color( think thats right ) 64x64 pixel  install it to the squads folder in the AH2 directory on your pc, then in game upload it in the officers club

The Upload Noseart button can be used by the squad CO to upload a 64x64 noseart graphic.  Graphics are not displayed in the game nor on the web page until they have been reviewed by the HTC staff.  The transparency color to use in order to make your noseart blend into the plane is {127, 127, 127}.  To upload a graphic, make sure your 64x64 bitmap file is named with your Game ID and is in your ../HTC/Aces High II/squads/ directory.  Next, click the Upload Noseart button.  Once the noseart is approved, your squad members may force the new image to download by deleting the existing noseart in their ../HTC/Aces High II/squads directory.  

It has to be a 64 x 64 bmp done in 256 colours.
