WAY TO GO SOVIET! AWESOME WORK! :up: :up: :up:

Please do upload them... all options are open. :sunny:

Nice! :up:

Just a suggestion, maybe you should make the sub look a bit more "WW2-ish" by making it more squarish, ie not so well rounded as now since it looks like a modern SS/SSN at the moment. :)

[Kpt. Lehmann]

The best thing is that these are all the same color.... which assuming the pic was taken at maximum zoom on the map... suggests something WONDERFUL...

oRGy,
thanks!

Jotte,
i will try to make the changes now.

Kpt. Lehmann,
the new icons are not at maximum zoom level, but i think you can just move the alpha channels to the TGA files that are used in maximum zoom.

i was doing some adjustment, the steam makes the merchant marker blurry so i removed them.
btw, for merchant i use an ocean liner silhouette, for warship i used destroyer. will replace the sub with a new icon soon.

the new sub icon is a Type VII :rock: still doing some testing on it, seems a bit blurry now.

closest zoom before they changes into top view ship icons.

thanks, you could just try and see ;) it's not hard to get rid of it... just backup the 12 files in units folder, and put them back when you're done.

[Marhkimov]

Nice, will try it! :up:

EDIT: Tried it, and love it. Wow!... so much better than floating boxes. It's amazing what a simple mod can do for your gaming experience :yep:

[soviet]

happy to hear that you like it.

i'm trying to make a new merchant icon now....... ocean liner is not really a merchant imo. :P

[soviet]

i made another new one with a different merchant marker, it's based on a C3.

if you want it to be color and not black, change the RGB layer of all 12 files to white, they'll show up as red, green, blue like before.

have fun.
