Nice!

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.

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

still doing some testing on it, seems a bit blurry now.

closest zoom before they changes into top view ship icons.

zoom out view.

I'm wondering if I should use this or not. But in either case, these icons look great. THat is one awesome idea!

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 · 10-14-05, 01:49 PM

Nice, will try it!

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

soviet · 10-14-05, 04:12 PM

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 · 10-14-05, 08:35 PM

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.
