I tryed to make them a little bit more realistic.

Simply unzip the attached file in folder : art/units/paratrooper

Make sure to make a backup copy before. :D

paratrooper11.zip includes the updated ParatrooperDrop.flc

Hmm! Great idea! Im sure they will look better than the current color, whatever it is.

This makes them look allot more realistic. I really didn't like the grey paratroopers.
Just would like to know how you were able to change the colour? Palettes?

Yes, I simply changed the grey colors in the palette to green.
All I needed for that was this really great FLICster utility from Moeniir and Paint Shop Pro.

aw, gee, shucks... :blush:

For those who haven't seen it yet...

Hello,
If that image posted in the previous reply is correct,
it seems to me that some shades of grey had not been
converted to green, which makes it look not the best.
How about that?

I fixed the problem with the unconverted grey pixels.

Looks better now !

Here is an updated version of the PARATROOPERDROP.FLC file.

mork,

Love the unit, but could you make the helmet a civ specific color beret?

That would be very cool.:goodjob:

I think that is an excellent idea, Kal-el

looks much better than the current michelin men from the sky

It would also be great if the red stuff on the front was switched to sum shade of green or sumthin. It seems really odd against the green and makes me think christmas. (dont get me wrong i love christmas i just would rather that those scumbags across the border dont associate me with happy thoughts)

the red areas are the civ spec. colors.
