Status: offline 		This is my VASL terrain and counters mod.
It is JSGME (JoneSoft Generic Mod Enabler) compatible, if not using it please backup your Terrain.png file.

http://www.mediafire.com/file/15za191rg8t3xfc/TotH.zip

The zip file contains three versions of my mod: v1.1, v1.1 with small markers, v1.1 with small markers and original terrain.

Update: Nope, just different style counters. Still pretty though!

Status: offline 		One thing that I've changed with this mod and the ASL one is making the Fire Counters much smaller. That way don't entirely obstruct the unit counters so you can still see what unit had fired. I did leave the 1 pixel edge on the bottom and right sides so that you can tell at a glance if units in a stack fired. Changed this for all the 'full size' circle things like Fire, Final Fire, Close Combats and Tired. Still debating if I like the banners of the ASL mod or the letters of this one though for things like Pinned and Broken.

Basically just cut the counter out (sans the 1 pixel edges bottom and right), pasted it right back where it was and shrunk it down to 30x30 and nudged it into the top left corner. Attached you can see how it looks.

Anyway you could make it available for mod incompetents like me?

1 Observation - The MMG on the USA side was represented by an LMG Counter.

This is because the American side doesn't technically have an LMG. There's the Medium and two Heavy's - the M1917 and the .50cal. So technically "Medium MG" is the "LMG" of the American forces. See page 57 of the Manual.

could you please give me a quick explanation how to do the mods in Photoshop?
- do I "just"change the pictures at the same spot of the big terain.png?
- how do I save it? Any special safe parameters?

Thanks a lot!

Dietrich

Status: offline 		Yup Dietrich, that's exactly it. I just opened the terrain.png in Gimp. Dragged down some guide lines (drag from the outside ruler onto the image and a little blue line will appear) to select each counter area. That then allowed the Select Tool to snap to that grid for easy selecting. So just change the image in those specific pixels to be whatever you wanted. Then Overwrite the file or Save as an XCF so you have an original with layers to adjust later and Export out as a PNG file. I just used whatever the default export settings in Gimp were. :)

Works the same in Photoshop but i think you can just save as png instead of having to export into png.

Attached you'll see what the screen looks like in Gimp.

This is a awesome MOD Making "FIRE" counters smaller , can I just drop it in the file folder and it works?

Love your Counters and Markers , .. not too keen on the Map tho ..

I prefer the more 'textured' look of the original map ..

Your Counters/Markers would look great on the original map ..

Keep up the good work ..


Cheers
Tom
