Graphic update

For most equipment files you will need a graphic update. All graphic for Panzer General II is found in the big file Panzer2.dat.

Since it seams somewhat hard for new people, to PGII, to add new graphic (doing it with the Fred Chlanda tool), I have made a icon upgrade. Its a simply program that requires you to locate the Panzer2.dat file and it does the rest for you. This program adds all the graphic to the Panzer2.dat file. It does not add ANY equipment file - ONLY the graphic.

The Datup has now been split in two, due to the ever increasing size. Part I and Part II. Part I will remains as it is now, and not change until Part II reaches its size, - which will hopefully be a while - but you never know with these icon dudes :). So you will have to download Part I only one time, and whenever the Datup gets modified you will need to download Part II, which will be the one that changes.

Part I is a full 43mb Panzer.dat file, containing 5000+ icons.
Part II is an update and works only on a Part I panzer2.dat file.
- there is currently no available Datup Part II

Sound update

For most new equipment files a sound upgrade is also needed. This upgrade contains all sound needed for most new Efile. This upgrade will update your Panzer General II installation to contain all new sound used by all equipment files that can be use with the DATUP graphic upgrade.

Installation is simple, locate your SFX directory in your Panzer General II main directory, and install the new sound. And you are ready. It should be noted that you will not hear any new sound, unless the equipment file you use, use them. So adding this sound update and using ex. the original SSI equipment file, you will not hear any new sound.

Equipment file

Here are the links to the actual equipment files.

The equipment file are the equip97.txt and equip97.eqp file found in the main Panzer2 directory. These file will have a *.DEU extension in the German version and *.FRA in the French version.

To install a equipment file all you have to do is put those two new file in your main Panzer2 directory, they will then overwrite the original one. You might want to backup the original one first.

Please note some equipment files cannot be downloaded without there corresponding graphic. That means you might not be able to download the equip97.txt, equip97.eqp and Gui97.txt (sometimes only the two equip97.*) only, but need to download the graphic also, cause its packed in one zip file. This is the same graphic as the Datup upgrade.

The Datup upgrade should contain all the graphic required, if it don't let me know. 

Here is the actual links to some of the Efiles available for Panzer General II. This is direct links.
