123john321: Search for "Regedit" on your computer and double-click it. This opens some kind of explorer where you can search for keywords (in your case Paintshop; PSP, JASC). I can´t tell you what entries you need to change, you will need to experiment a bit.
Or just tell me what units you want to use and I´ll post the unit32.pcx file with those unit32 pics included (I don´t have ptw though).

Boba Fett: Parachutiste is a French unit, but you can use it for whatever you want (if you don´t let the Famas rifle bother you). In German it would be "Fallschirmjäger".

Edit:
victory sounds are still not ready for download....

Ah good to have new victory sounds. I feel uneasy about having my peacekeepers giving a hearty laugh after riddling some poor rebel dude with 5.56mm rounds.

BTW the inclusion of 3 different types of gunfire sounds with guntypes listed was a cool idea!!!

I did some palette editing to change the color of the beret. This is an awesome unit and can be used for a variety of elite units.

Here's the unit with a black beret. Could be used as US Army Ranger (before they changed to the sand colored beret a year or two ago), French Naval Infantry, Republic of Korea Special Forces, Special Boat Service (I think) among others.

Download it here.

Here he is with a blue beret.

Can be used for Soviet or Russian VDV Airborne troops. Real VDV (stands for Vozdushno-Desantniy Voisk), who are also known as "The Blue Berets" (except in Russian ) actually have berets a bit darker than this but it's close enough for me.

Green beret.

Can be used for US Special Forces, UK Royal Marine Commando, German GSG-9 etc.

Tan beret.

Could be used for SAS I guess. Or modern Rangers.

When I saw that the Peacekeeper's not wearing a backpack I thought it could make a nice counterterrorist unit. Recolored the helmet to black.

I'm gonna use if for Delta Force.

Thanks to Balou for these great units.

 

[Costa e Silva]

Thank you dog!

I was having some collor problem, cause in my game France is blue (dark blue) and Rome is red.

Now, more than end the confusion, i will could use this like a REG PARATROOPER to mediterranean civs (gre,fra,rom,spa, and even cartage)

Thank you again for help me (and other) to use these perfects Balou's units.

 

[Yoda Power]

Dog thats cool, thanks

 

[dannyevilcat]

It's all been said, but these units are phenomenal.

Dog, would you be able to also make one with a matching civ-coloured beret? Or would that be quite a bit more difficult?

 

[Risbinroch]

Really nice with the green beret: will be great as an modern day legionairre!

 

[Balou]

Thanks for the work you have done, dog!
This greatly extends the possibilities to use those two units in the game. And thanks for the previews you posted.

 

[gen.dragolen]

Balou,

If I could make a small request: could you change the beret to a kepis ?

Looking at the FAMAS, I thought of Legion DÉtrangers and that they would make a perfect modern age infantry for the French.

Gen.dragolen, Simply replace the red beret by a green one (see dog colored version) to make it foreign legion.
French legionnaires do not wear the kepi in combat any more.

Steph,

Thanks for the info. Been a while since I researched uniforms and stuff.

Time to finish my new workstation so I can start doing stuff in digital. Though for me, there is still something about holding a 1:72 model or figure and making them come alive that just cant be matched with a digital version.

That would be quite a bit more difficult. You couldn't do it by editing the palette, you have to go in and do a color swap with PSP. If it's something you really, really want (you), then it wouldn't be all that much work (for you ). If it's something you don't really have a need for (me), it would ge a gigantic task.

What do you mean by this?? It kind of sounds like something I was thinking of doing (and btw, Dannyevilcat, among others, publicly ridiculed me for ).

Actually, like dannyevilcat I would also love to have a parachutiste with a civ-coloured beret; it would be very useful as a generic elite troop (ever heard of the Royal Egyptian Yellow Berets? Or the chinese Light Pink Berets? Well, it's a vision of mine... ) Anyway, I asked Balou a couple of weeks ago about how hard it would be to do this on my own and this is his answer:

Originally posted by Balou
Well, you would need to make the beret/helmet the same color as the civ color on the arms. You could turn the beret into blue via a different palette (maintain indexes, not using civ color), then delete the blue color and apply the palette using nearest color (blue is civ color).

I thought that as soon as my finals are over and I've recovered from the ordeal, I would sit down and learn to use the Flicster and some good paintprogram to make the beret civ-coloured. But I wouldn't really hold any grudge against anyone who beats me to it. Quite the contrary actually, my relief would be embarrassingly great...

That' why I try to paint my Napoloeonic 1/72 figures when I can. But that's not as often as I would like with all the time spent on modding CivIII
