I've started doing some new icons for Factories, Resources and the like. One thing that I'd like to kindly ask the developers, is to provide the vanilla GUI counters (the unit counters showing at the bottom without the actual unit pictures, just the base 'button' icons that is) for all sides, in order to superimpose the new counters easily.

If you have those icons, could you provide them pls.

Thx

Status: offline 		Hey again.

I did these new factory/resource/rail icons for my own use, since I really wanted to have a clearer view of actual units v. infrastructure. I'm using different colors and shapes for easy differentiation, but unfortunately I had to use 'L' for rail, since 'R' is for resources. Gets pretty easy to use after a while though (green->rail, yellow->resource, red->factory. See the screenshot below about how these icons look, they also look very good in the highly zoomed-out map.

Installation should be straightforward if you're comfortable with winzip and the windows explorer. Make sure you backup your 'dat/art' directory first, then unzip the attached file in the 'dat' directory so it overwrites the proper files.

FRL art

Hope it's useful.

Agreed. The transport level should tell the rest.

Nice work coralsaw!
