ASL Graphics

[TheBigRedOne]

It isn't quite a 'new' mod, but it's a revision of an ASL conversion done by a guy named Franzi forwarded to me by a guy known as -E.

1. This graphics mod is setup for the default installation of the game
with no prior user modifications and/or additions. [This is a BIG one and needs to be addressed before adding the file]

2. Tradeoffs had to be made due to the way the Squad Battles series of games choose graphics. Pretty much anytime you see a white or grey background for graphics, it is either due to the graphics being shared or to lessen the impact of other shared graphics. If it’s a real problem, you can always restore all of your original graphics.

3. Several default scenarios in Pacific War have some real problems in
how less common forces’ unit foregrounds and backgrounds are chosen.
Some serious mixing and not matching going on (for an example see the
scenario Enemy of the People). If this is a major problem for you,
either fix the scenarios using the editors or avoid those scenarios or
just restore everything in your INFO directory.

As with all SB modifications, it's Buyer Beware. Copy your files before applying these modifications, that's all I'll say. I never tested this one out myself, not being an ASL guy. The graphics, while emulating ASL well, I'm sure, take away from the normal look of the terrain and make it look more cartoonish for my liking. I much prefer applying IronX's graphics files to my SB games to make the terrain look more realistic.

There's something for everyone, however, and if the ASL look enhances the game for folks, then by all means...
