Odd 2D Sprite
I was using a unit of Galathraikes (they're a new unit I think) and, when I moved the camera far enough from the unit that the 3D bodies are replaced by 2D sprites, there seemed to be something wrong:

Here you can see that I have moved the camera to such a distance that part of the unit is still 3D and part are 2D. Is this a problem with my graphics card or something?

Why shouldn't they? They are closer to the camera after all.

Sorry, I wrote my explanation very quickly and missed out on saying what the problem actually was. :embarassed:
I meant to say that, though the swap between model and sprite works perfectly, the sprite doesn't look like a soldier but instead is an odd white fuzz with a shadow.
Again, sorry for not making that clear in my initial post.

Re: Odd 2D Sprite
It's probably rather intimately related to the little detail the unit's diverse sprites ("/eb/data/sprites/dacian/ebsprite_dacian_infantry_galathraikes_[whatever].spr"), well, don't seem to exist. In the internal version either.

Re: Odd 2D Sprite
It seems that the Rodian Slinger sprites are missing too.

Re: Odd 2D Sprite
I've created a little fix for this problem which adds the missing sprites:

I hope the EB team doesn't mind my sharing this unofficial fix. It should include all of the sprite sheets for the Galathraikes/Milites Ilergetum, Rhodian Slingers (and other slingers using the same model), Lusitanian/Celtiberian Skirmishers, and the Dunaminaca/Dorkim Aloopim. If you find any more missing sprites, I'd be happy to create them as well - it's just a matter of running the models through the RTW sprite utility.

Re: Odd 2D Sprite
I'm sure it fixes the problem, but I've taken the fix from the submissions made by the team members. I believe we've taken the same sprites. Good initiative :2thumbsup:!
