Xenon 141 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Hi! Ever since SC:GC Gold was released I found it sad that the various infantry levels used the same icon, while there is the possibility for unique icons. Some time ago I came up with the idea of creating an icon pack for my personal use to allow for different level 0 to level 2 infantry icons in SC: Global Conflict Gold. If you like that thought, I have uploaded it to the repository so it should be available soon... I tried to stick to historical uniforms for the most icons but there will certainly be some that are simply wrong. I'll be reworking some of my older icons and add more different AT-Guns as well as the icons for the zoom function later. Hope you enjoy this small pack for what it's worth. Feedback and comments are appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xenon 141 Posted November 8, 2012 Author Share Posted November 8, 2012 Thanks! I've allready completed the zoom bitmaps. Once I have reworked some of the older icons I'll reupload the pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xenon 141 Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 Great, looking forward to the next incarnation of your classic "Calm Before the Storm" mod! I've uploaded the new version with zoom icons and some other changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henderj Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Great work Xenon, your icons really add to the game and looking forward to the new version. Thanks for making these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david12345 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Any chance that you will do an icon pack for those of use who dont use the 3d icons? I prefer the other ones. I remember in SC1 someone made icons for the ones I use that would let you know if a unit was upgraded (example a panzer III vs a Tiger). They were just sideways pictures, but much better.

Xenon 141 Posted December 7, 2012 Author Share Posted December 7, 2012 At the moment I'm busy with exams and my projects at hand. It doesn't sound too difficult to do, so I'll look into it for the next version, if the opportunity arises. However I won't make any promises to "if" and "when" I'll find the time. Hope you all continue to enjoy the game! Xenon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenon 141 Posted March 24, 2013 Author Share Posted March 24, 2013 Now, for a quick update. I have uploaded version 1.2 with some replaced icons and new icons for the chinese (an attempt to make them look more like nationalists instead of communists) + other small changes. Sadly, I tried my best at the military icons but in the end my attempts didn't look all that great... I'm afraid I won't be able to do decent icons there... And now for something completely different... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill101 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 This looks really interesting, what war is it from Xenon141? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenon 141 Posted March 24, 2013 Author Share Posted March 24, 2013 This looks really interesting, what war is it from Xenon141? Hy, Bill It's about the struggle of the short-lived "Republic of Baden" in southern germany and marks the end of the german revolution of 1849. Basically the republicans and the army overthrow the Grand Duke of Baden (the last attempt in 1848, the Hecker Uprising failed) and are later beaten into submission by a federal army under prussian leadership. So far the scenario actually plays quite well but there is still a lot of balancing/scripting/images to do. It's not entirely historical concerning the strength/details of the forces involved; the republicans have a fighting chance here either to survive till the end of July or even spread the revolution into the neighboring Kingdom of Württemberg by decision events. The historical attempts failed but it's interesting to play with the possibilities of following the conservatives like Brentano or radicals like Struve. I have given this thing a mayor overhaul after I converted it to breakthrough. Still a long way to go but that's half the fun in building a scenario. Glad it looks interesting, despite the unusual theme. Xenon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill101 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 That's an excellent concept, and it's good to see some experimentation into a new period previously not covered. In fact there probably aren't many wargames covering this bit of history, so keep at it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
