hi

rtw 2 is it possible to have the pictures for the vessels as "steam and iron"  , when you click on each vessel and not only a game view

[noshurviverse]

On the strategic map, right click a ship and there should be an option to "generate picture".

The game will not automatically generate a profile image for any ship regardless of how many engagements it's been in; you have to create and assign the image using the in-game ship profile image editor accessed by right-clicking the ship in the Ships list and selecting 'Generate picture' under 'Change ship picture' in the menu, or assign an existing image to the design using 'Select picture' in the same menu.

Note that the profile images are shared by all ships of the same class and can be inherited by successor classes if the image was assigned to the base class before the successor design was developed from it.

Save the image you want to use as a JPEG (*.jpg) or bitmap (*.bmp) and store it in the active save folder, then right-click a ship in the Ship list and choose Change Ship Image > Select Image from the menu. You should get a dialogue window that looks like this:

You might want to rescale or crop the image to the size that the game uses (640x160) in order to ensure that what you want to see is actually in the part of the image that the game displays, because if the image selected is too big you might end up with something like the one on the left instead of the one on the right:

You can obtain a good picture by spending a bit of time putting on superstructures, boats, etc.... under the mod section of the forum you can find additional parts to help you make good picture.

You can also just use any image that is shrunk to an appropriate size as Aeson pointed out. Since RTW do not have real ships like Steam and Iron, it doesn't provide any realistic photographs for your ships. You just have to find what you want to use yourself.
