These unit counters are supurb!
But - being a noobie to the Strategic Command series I just went to the link, downloaded and extracted straight into the WatW Bitmap folder..
mm...I should of read the fine type.. the download was for WIE...

The Italians were in Europe, their Fleet in the Baltic and the Wehrmacht in Tobruk and Ethiopia. Red Army counters had bolted - gone.

Not a problem.. (WTF had I done), lucky me had done a backup..

Copy and paste said Nationality bitmaps into correct folders of WatW - Major_08 (Germans) Major_09 (Italians) and the Russians into anything that read 'Major_04'.
Allied & Axis miniors and Major_01 to Major_05 folders were fine.

I am enjoying Strategic Command World at War with the new counters, they really add 'flavour' to a staid boring NATO counter mix.
A lot of work and effort must of went into the production of these.
Can't wait for the Chinese and Japanese Units

Thanks for making the mod available.

loving the counters, but for some odd reason the UK counters do not take ingame for me at all.
They show in the preview where you can choose between 2 and 3D counters, it shows uk counters i believe, but ingame uk counters do not show.
Can anyone help me out here please?

Even more wierd to me is that only forces starting in europe or north africa are affected. The ones in sudan,south africa or india all changed to the new counters.Im lost

Hi Markus,

This is really strange. The same file is used by the engine whatever the UK units are located on the map...
could you check the following path on your computer:

C:\Users\YOUR COMPUTER NAME HERE\Documents\My Games\Strategic Command WWII - World at War\Campaigns\_THE CAMPAIGN NAME YOU PLAY\Bitmaps\Major_01

You should find there "unit_sprites_nato.png", check the file content with any image software to see if you got the Modded one, if not then manually copy it there (there was maybe a problem with Mod download)

By the way my game is in version 1.01 , is this the proper version?

Status: offline 		i worked around it by simple pasting the files into the game folders, so its now a permanent change for all scenarios, hope this doesnt screw anything else up, but i doubt i ever want to go back to the original counters anyways.
I now remember i had the exact same issue with the WiE game a few month ago and did the same thing.
So its all good for now, and thank you for the awesome sprites

Hi Happycat

I believe its a game engine problem, I did experience the same problem also with WIE 1.16 beta
When you open the campaign with editor did you see the modded counters for UK?
As a temporary solution just copy the Major01 (UK) bitmap units to the core program folder (backup the original first), it must work...

I think Bill/Hubert are aware about this issue and will fix in next WAW update

Status: offline 		I believe you are right Sipres---after I posted my last message, I found another directory for SC that probably is the core folder, copied the files over and all is now good.

Awesome looking counters---I especially like the little bombs on the tactical vs medium bomber icons, makes differentiating easier. Give yourself a pat on the back from me. These take me back to the 80's board games such as WIF, Europa etc.

I installed my game through Steam, so my setup may not be the same as yours. When I go to SteamApps folder I see a subfolder called Bitmaps plus two others for SC WAW and SC WIE. Once I placed the modded bitmaps in all three locations it worked.

Notably, I did NOT go through the editor for any aspect of doing this, and it worked out just fine.

Hopefully someone with a lot more knowledge in this area will chime in and help :)

I'm glad your copy is working properly and I hope I'm the only one with this problem.

My SC WAW is through Steam and the bitmaps are fine in the editor and in NetPaint but no the game.
