COLOR pictures for Steel Panthers 2 and Steel Panthers 3

Major update: 26. 04. 2011

We present our set of improved COLOR pictures for Steel Panthers 2 and 3 (modern range) games.

After a ten-year break (from 2001), we present a substantial update, with most of Steel Panthers 2 units covered this time (some 515 pictures of well over 400 units - some come in several variants).

M551 Sheridan
BM-27 Uragan
The pictures are mainly color sideviews, with only some photos or 3D views. The source artworks came from many different sources (not all of best quality), and all were processed, sometimes corrected or modified, and converted by PIBWL to Steel Panthers LBM format. We have tried to obtain best results from the game's poor color palette - and you can check results yourself. They are far nicer, than old ugly black and white ones pictures, and in some cases (like Il-10 plane, BM-24 rocket launcher, M114 scout APC), our pictures are also correct, replacing the wrong ones. Some pictures come in several variants.

Our pack of improved pictures is available here.

They should be copied into the game's "PIC" sub-folder (in case such a folder does not exist, you should create it). The pictures will overwrite original or third-party pictures, so you may want to create a backup of the folder first (you should also have originals on game's CD). See the details and pictures' list in a text file attached.

Note: the pack doesn't entirely fit to WinSPMBT (there is an inconsistency with the British units). In case you installed a present pack into SPMBT, you should also download a a pack of several SPMBT original pictures, which show different units, that were overwritten by our files (from 2011 release; the pictures could have changed in newer SPMBT updates). We've been working on major SPMBT-dedicated update, but it is a huge amount of work, while not all color pictures are available, so this project was suspended. If you want such pack to be created for WinSPMBT - let us know about it, for better motivation ;).

The color improved pictures for Steel Panthers-III - World War 2 range
are on our COLOR Panthers page.

Panhard EBR90 We also have a pack of different miscellaneous modern pictures, not used in a standard game. You may find them useful for some purpose - I encourage you to try them. I also have some other pictures, so if you need anything, I may have it - write!

We are waiting for your comments. If you still find our pictures useful - let us know!
