stikkypixie Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Hi, I made a small modification to the floating icons of trenches, mines and obstacles to make less intrusive during the setup phase. Here's a screenshot. What do you guys think can be done to improve it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodkin Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Could be useful on maps with lots of fortifications but can you also make one for all the icons? I used to play CMSF with a transparent icon mod. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to play CMSF with a transparent icon mod. All the icons? I don't understand. Do you have any ideas to make them less intrusive, even at 50% opacity they are still very visible I feel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfe Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Cool, but more transparency could help. BTW, a unit that is panicking will have a more transparent icon and could get lost among the transparent fortifications, so perhaps make both sides slightly grey-ish (or brown-ish) in color. The US and Ger markers are different shapes, so making them the same color wouldn't matter, and it'll be a rare scenario that has fortifications on both sides anyway. - Chris 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaws Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Agree with Wolfe but I want this for sure 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stikkypixie Posted May 26, 2011 Author Share Posted May 26, 2011 I tweaked it a bit. @Wolfe, don't worry about units panicking getting mixed up with the fortifications. Once the game start the icons of the fortifications will disappear so there won't be any confusion. The only thing that might interfere with gameplay is that the icons are not visible enough under some circumstances. On my PC it is still manageable but it would be nice to get more feedback on this. If anyone want to test this out, I can send them the files before uploading them to the repository. Here's a screenshot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stikkypixie Posted May 26, 2011 Author Share Posted May 26, 2011 I decided to tweak it one more time, this will be the version that will go up in the repository. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
