So here is the thread I promised about the transfer of my counters combination Mod to SoP ...

For reference here is the original ToW Thread:
http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=2539764

I have been getting quite far with this but it's still not quite finished yet - so it's a "work in progress" so to speak.

HOWEVER here is what I have - first of all the screenshot of the unit layout that I intend to have for SoP:

You will notice that I have added a "Large HQ" sign for those units which actually have a leader in it and a "Small HQ" sign for those units which are under the influence of a leader of another unit - under the influence of the "Large HQ" so to speak...instead of the star and V-sign respectively...

And btw - I am using also the map mod for the black hexes - I forget who did it - Shame on me but thanks to him for it!!

In case you are wondering here's a list of what I am still working on:

- Zoom out views
- Further Improvement of Air Units (Round counters??)
- Maybe better ship units

Looks very good when combined with Peter123's map




Interested to see what you do with the zoom-out view

Round counters for Air would be great - thus when zoomed out it will be easy to identify Army and Marine (square), Airforce (round) and Navy (rectangular).

Thanks again.

Status: offline 		So here in the on-going work is an update with:

1) Slightly Revised HQ sign for better visibility

2) Round Air units which means now: Square (Army), Round (Air), Rectangular (Navy)

3) 3 different zoom out views with:

@30%-Zoom: Land & Air with simplified larger counters without details (isn't need at this Zoom level)

@15%-Zoom: Land as flags + Air with larger counters again - this is for better overview in sea areas where Air stations can be important during the Navy zoom out game (see below)

@10%-Zoom: Land & Air as flags - where air flags are larger than land flags

4) Navy zoom outs enlarged to be able to actually play the Naval game in these zoom outs (As Navy game can cover large areas)

Well screen-shots say more than 1000 words so here we go with #1 of 4 (@ Normal view):

I still have to tweak this view a little - so I'm not quite ready yet to post this "Revision" of the Mod - but anyway .... just thought I would share the progress! And thanks to all for the many ideas in this Forum!!

Status: offline 		So here it is - the revised counters combination mod 2

I also revised the Ship Unit text to the color black so that this mod can also be used with different maps where the sea-area color is lighter - white is hardly readable with the sytlized maps for example.... if you want it back to white then change the R,G, B values of the ship text color all back to 255.

Romdanzer

P.S: I updated the mod by changing the Ship and Fleet names font to "Verdana" & Called it "revised counters combination mod 2"

Status: offline 		Oh and here is a somewhat unusual screenshot - just because I wanted to know what can be done with Zoom-views....

You see I liked to play all kinds of AH-games back when I was a kid and I can still remember "Victory in the Pacific" very well....... so anyway I want to have a feel like that game with respect to being able to have the "Great Overview on the entire Map" with respect to where all the navies and ships are: (Zoom 0%!!!)

You CAN actually click on the ship units here too!! To choose a ship-unit you click on the Flag in the upper-left corner of the ship icon.... however I guess it would also require a small mod of the map to be able to move to a new sea-area by choosing the according destination icon (rather small at the moment).... Can Map zoom-views be done? I don't know ...

Great Job!

But you might want to change the font size or style for the ship names IMMHO

Status: offline 		Oh good point AH4Ever!! Actually I did indeed try changing the font type to "Verdana" and that alone works quite well... so here's sceenshot with the Ship and Fleet names in the Verdana Font:

I've posted an according update with the new Font of the "Revised Counters combination Mod 2" - but you can also quickly change it yourself - just exchange the word "Fixedsys" in the naval_units.csv file in all locations to "Verdana" and you have it!

There you will find all the other folders with the unit and map skins!

Let me know if you find it.
