Sgt Eagle Posted June 18, 2002 Author Share Posted June 18, 2002 Jorgen, Your symbols mod is simply a Xerox copy of my original one, and a less realistic one at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have drawed the rest by my own hands. If something is unrealistic, I'd be happy to change that. Be so kind to point out the flaws.

Sgt Eagle Posted June 18, 2002 Author Share Posted June 18, 2002 Well, let's see. 1. The symbols you use to signify a better type of unit (the dots going down the side) do not mean anything in actual symbology. 2. You use the symbol for a Fighter-Bomber for the Strategic Bombers. 3. You use an Independent Air Force symbol for Fighters and Army Air Force symbol for bombers. A country has only one or the other. Keep in mind, NONE of these inaccuracies are in mine.

DevilDog Posted June 18, 2002 Share Posted June 18, 2002 I like the unit upgrade dots.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorgen_Cab Posted June 18, 2002 Share Posted June 18, 2002 Ok, I will fix these things as soon as I can, I apreciate your input, I'm no expert in military symbols and had no time researching it. The dots on the left are not meant to be historical in any way, just a way to easily identify wich tech level the unit belongs to. Something more like this perhaps...

Jorgen_Cab Posted June 20, 2002 Share Posted June 20, 2002 I have now updated my unit sprites according to sgt Eagles know how, and I hope they are more historicaly accurate now... Unit sprites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Posted June 20, 2002 Share Posted June 20, 2002 I just looked at the sprites, I have to admit, they are not very different from Sgt Eagle's. Same colours, almost identical symbols, did you guys work on this together? Just curious... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boozer Posted June 20, 2002 Share Posted June 20, 2002 Well think about it, how much different can a friggin box with an X in it look? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorgen_Cab Posted June 20, 2002 Share Posted June 20, 2002 I used the same colours, the rest I've done myself. All icons are standard military symbols, and there are not in so many ways you can do it. I just addad a little cleaner look, and highlight to get a little 3d effect.

pzgndr Posted June 20, 2002 Share Posted June 20, 2002 Jorgen's sprites look really good. The subs need some customizing, but that's easy. I'm wondering why some unit types have multiple sprites for showing upgrades while others do not, like the fleets and subs. Maybe Hubert can expand the sprites to include ship upgrades, so we can add dots and/or different silhouettes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valadictum Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 Is it possible to build unit characteristics MODS?, the reason I ask is that it might add more national charatcter to each nations army, such as the massive reliance on artillery units that the Russians used as opposed to other nations.

waynef Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 Both mods that I have tried were both (Sgt Eagle and Jorgen) very good. Thanks for the effort. Some constructive feedback. A) Its very difficult to tell the Army and Corp chits apart. The tiny xxxx above the military symbol does not stand out enough to distinguish the units apart. I like the idea of the Flag on the Headqtr unit representing the country. Needs to be larger if possible. Thanks again [ June 21, 2002, 07:57 PM: Message edited by: waynef ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Posted June 24, 2002 Share Posted June 24, 2002 This is not a mod issue, but I just wanted everyone to know that SuperTed was nice enough to allow me to post his great AAR's on my site. If you haven't seen them yet, they are a great description of an ongoing game from an experienced Beta Tester. Check 'em out at the link below, great work SuperTed!!
