Battlefront Repository Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Vin geometric FoW icons - Thanks, and credit to the original modders Wolfe, Juju, and Bil (engineer symbol) from whose mods I used as a base to make this. For my part I did the necessary color changes, and made the geometric FOW icons. I think many will find this to be practical, and useful in reading the enemy contacts especially when many FOW icons are present. This mod has two unique features: Geometric FOW icons, and a 2-color code system per side. Geometric FOW icons –Advantages:*Makes FOW icons smaller by losing the “?” which is no longer necessary.*Gives each FOW icon it’s own unique shape to make them more distinct. 2 Color coding system per side that incorporates colors from CMSF, and CMBN for function -Axis - (red = spotted, grey = FOW) - default Allied - (blue = spotted, green = FOW) - defaultAdvantages:*Allows much greater visual distinction of SPOTTED enemy contacts from FOW enemy contacts.*Spotted icons pop out from the FOW icons giving the player a more organized view of the enemy situation. One will see through eye directing that they concentrate easier on what is spotted from a sea of FOW icons. Player’s will notice the spotted icons stand out while FOW icons become more unnoticeable unless you want to notice them. USING ALTERNATE TAN FoW icons -The mod has two folders. One is the default with color combinations described above, and the other is an alternate folder, which contains neutral colored TAN FoW icons. These ca...

Vinnart Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Using just the tan FoW icons from the mod along with stock icons: They can be used with any other icon mods such as Juju's, or Wolfe's grey/green geometric icons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baneman Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 These look very good - although years of flying IL2 have gotten me used to Axis-blue Allies-Red 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinnart Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Just started using these.Really excellent and glad to see blue Brits now added.Just a side note the ones GAJs site don't have the blue Brits added,got these at the Repo.Again,thanks for the icons Thanks for the heads up Brindlewolf. There are two versions; CMFI and CMBN. I'm not sure if I included Brits in the CMBN version, and they might only be in the CMFI version. It has been awhile since I packaged it all up. I got CMFI not long ago, and did see I did have an error on one of the truck icons, which I have fixed. If anyone notices anymore bugs please let me know. I will probably do an update soon to address any missing icon errors, and to include a new icon shape I made for ATG guns that changes the shape from a hexagon to a bullet shape. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brindlewolf Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Yeah i just put the CMFI folder in the CMBN/CW folder works a treat.I was put off with the shapes of units initially a while back but actually they are great to work with especially on larger scenarios.Makes micromanage less of a chore now as each unit stands out on it's own.Cheers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiterider Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Hi Vinnart. The different types of mines have the same icon. Would it be possible to make them different? On the other hand I find so useful and detailed this mod. Good work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
