Childress Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 OK, I grew tired of gazing on the green floating icons for the Commonwealth forces so I decided to make my own. Which worked via Rez Explode and Photoshop. Unfortunatley I ran into the same conumdrum as Lt. Smash above; there seem to be no icons for leaders and FOs in 1.10. Any ideas? Do we a need a copy of 1.01? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Childress Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 OK, fixed. These are not proper khaki colored icons- which I find a bit hard to read. They're tan. Of course they can be darkened. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Childress Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 Probably a pure black background is preferable.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
para Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Probably a pure black background is preferable.... That's nice and it goes with the colour of their hearts. Is that your mod Childress? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Childress Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 That's nice and it goes with the colour of their hearts. Is that your mod Childress? Thanks, Para. The problem is that the graphics files are a oddly configured, some of the symbols are shared, like FOs and HQs. I could release this mod but if you were using an exclusively Heer force you get the SS icons unless you removed the brz file first from the Z folder. I managed to make tan Commonwealth icons (which look a bit yellowish on the forum), which I use and prefer, but there's that slight inconvenience of changing out the file if you move from British to American. User friendly icon mods may have to await a (minor) update from BFC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventually maybe, still looks very nice and rather apt for the SS 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjkerner Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Childress, whether you release to the general public or not, I'd like to get my hands on this. I don't mind changing out mods as needed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Childress Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 Childress, whether you release to the general public or not, I'd like to get my hands on this. I don't mind changing out mods as needed. I don't mind changing out my CW icons for the American ones and vice versa; one tends not to jump around on the Allied side. And the Commonwealth module is new! and exciting! But there are many SS/Heer scenarios in both the base and the module and juggling the brz files may prove onerous. Battlefront needs to address this. I just began the SS mod. If I finish over the weekend I'll post it to the Repository. White on Black may be overly striking. Gray and Black might be better. Opinions? The eye should be drawn to the squad/team/vehicle not what's floating overhead. I find it appropriate that different that different services, like the Rangers and the Airborne, should feature proprietary color themes. Like them the SS had a decided ethos. And not entirely negative. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stingray Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Please release the mod !!! I want it...I gotta have it...can't live without it Thanks in advance 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Childress Posted March 10, 2012 Author Share Posted March 10, 2012 Hehe. I just tried to upload the Commonwealth icon mod- the khaki is darker- but the Repository kept rejecting the file extensions (brz &7z). What AM I doing wrong? Haven't finished the SS dudes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjkerner Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Did you zip it first? Sounds like maybe you sent the raw file?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Childress Posted March 10, 2012 Author Share Posted March 10, 2012 OK, Winrar worked. CW Commonwealth icons uploaded to the Repository. SS tomorrow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Childress Posted March 10, 2012 Author Share Posted March 10, 2012 OK, Winrar worked. CW Commonwealth icons uploaded to the Repository. SS tomorrow. I should add that the icons in the above screenie look a bit mottled around the edges. This is an odd rendering from my laptop. On the desktop they're clean and crisp. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
