Those look very nice ! Round Air Units - reminds me of an Avalon Hill board game from the old days !




Hartmann -> RE: Another counter mod (on going) (12/5/2016 8:54:04 AM)

Yep, recall those counters as well.

I'd almost like to mix and match the nato counters with the rounded air units so it is easier at a glance to tell air from ground.

SIPRES -> RE: Another counter mod (on going) (12/5/2016 10:58:00 PM)

Italians tanks + air force
still the Regia Marina to complete....

I plan to do all major nations with specific icons, it may take a while.
Did anybody knows why we got 12 counters per rows on the Nato sprite file?
I wonder this is to manage upgrades and facing direction?

Thanks all for your comments. Any

(I only own 1 game from AH but its War and Peace, so no planes....[:(]

Yes, you are correct.

SIPRES -> RE: Another counter mod (on going) (12/5/2016 11:25:59 PM)

Very nice counters, I didnt know that game
After thinking twice I realize I still got (somewhere) a second AH game.
Squad leader + crescendo of doom + Cross of iron expansion.

For the circle counter for plane I believe I have seen on Schwerpunkt game, I think they use also hexagon counter for navy. (or could be the opposite)





Magpius -> RE: Another counter mod (on going) (12/6/2016 6:25:32 AM)

I like the bombs as level indicators, may even give the round counters a look at. Similar to schwerpunkt's countrr shapes also.




SIPRES -> RE: Another counter mod (on going) (12/14/2016 4:42:42 PM)

Italians completed still few minor cosmetic changes to do.
I will post the final version by end of this week, then start next nation(s)
I did also change "unit_nato_flag_sprites" to allow correct HQ display

Voila

FF_1079 -> RE: Another counter mod (on going) (12/15/2016 4:07:19 AM)

Count me in for this mod - I like every graphic design decision you have made - the counters are informative, easy to understand and fun to look at.




FlightOfIcarus -> RE: Another counter mod (on going) (12/15/2016 7:33:40 PM)

Love it. Thanks for the great work SIPRES, looking forward for the other countries also [&o]




Capitaine -> RE: Another counter mod (on going) (12/15/2016 11:59:05 PM)

Really nice looking designs. I actually prefer the 3D icons in this game, but for counters you've truly nailed it. Kudos.




Ason -> RE: Another counter mod (on going) (12/16/2016 5:52:27 AM)

Looks very nice! I'm curious, what are those units with letters P,G and X?




SIPRES -> RE: Another counter mod (on going) (12/16/2016 6:30:21 AM)

Thank you all,

P is Partisan unit, G is for Garnison unit and the X Badge is for the X-MAS unit (Italy Marine Commando)

I Start UK unit right now should be little bit faster as I get template file ready and I think I will use same silhouettes for all navy's, with this scale I think we cant make difference between every nation battleships

The question always is: Should a unit be depicted from above or from the side. I'm always torn about this, but with ships I generally think that the outlines are easier to depict in a recognizable way if seen sideways on.




Skeleton -> RE: Another counter mod (on going) (12/17/2016 4:48:00 PM)

This is really well done, they look fantastic. Any ETA as to when this mod will be available?




n0kn0k -> RE: Another counter mod (on going) (12/17/2016 5:35:12 PM)

Very nice!




SIPRES -> RE: Another counter mod (on going) (12/18/2016 6:52:31 PM)

Hello All,

One more screenshot (Italy + UK completed)
I need to add Facing direction change at least for vehicles and Artillery.
Starting USA in parallel.

For ETA I Hope to complete in few weeks (humm...)
I didnt manage tech upgrade so far as it will leads to hundred of silhouettes to edit.

Rgds

Boonierat1972 -> RE: Another counter mod (on going) (12/21/2016 8:53:46 AM)

Courage Christophe! I really do wanna try out this mod when its ready, looks fantastic!




Capitaine -> RE: Another counter mod (on going) (12/21/2016 7:31:15 PM)

What does the naval designation "DN" stand for? Dreadnought? All modern, post-Dreadnought BBs were and are dreadnoughts. If meant to be pre-Dreadnoughts then "B" is the usual notation. DN isn't the vanilla game is it?




elrond petit pas tapons -> RE: Another counter mod (on going) (12/24/2016 2:13:27 PM)

Superbe boulot ! Bravo, j'ai hâte de voir ça fini !




SIPRES -> RE: Another counter mod (on going) (12/26/2016 6:24:06 PM)

Hello Capitaine.
You're right DN is for Dreadnought, and its already included in the vanilla game, I simply set a battleship for this picture slot.

Rgds

Christophe




Capitaine -> RE: Another counter mod (on going) (12/26/2016 10:29:30 PM)

What is a DN supposed to represent (in the game)?




AlbertN -> RE: Another counter mod (on going) (12/26/2016 10:34:46 PM)

I like these counters.
In a strategic game one should immediately, with a glance, understand the situation. Elegant and simple in their format, they serve the job magnificently.




SIPRES -> RE: Another counter mod (on going) (12/27/2016 8:54:09 AM)

Latest screenshot with US Forces

In the vanilla game, it's just a unit slot that can be used for modders.

Maybe we will use it properly in the future too. [;)]
