Re: Ukraine 2021(?)
If it's not too late to vote for the mine icons, I like the first one you posted, the Yellow background with the skull. Those seem to really stand out.
Just my 2 cents. Steves308 |
Re: Ukraine 2021(?)
Right now I am leaning towards a "sign" rather than just a skull and bones using the later skull graphic in either yellow or red.....so far.
I'm looking for a balance between standing out and being a distraction but for sure there would be an option for players to use the original SSI ones if they wanted What I have found though that triangular signs tend more to point downwards than upwards, they also tend more to red That said there are hundreds of variations https://kinmen.travel/image/10418/?r=1538719824293 Just to throw fuel on the fire https://i.imgur.com/UoxoxMP.png I am liking these........... |

Re: Ukraine 2021(?)
Loving the mine graphics (yellow triangles my favourite), however just a thought: how would they interact with objective flags?
Does the mine sign need to be larger to show under a objective marker/flag? or raised/lowered in the hex? |

With the first test example I built, the top of triangle shows above the V-hex and the number of mines below it. I have not tested the latest ones but you raise a good point and I will ensure the V hexes do not hide them though through preferences while playing you can turn the V hexes on and off to check things like that I just built a simulation and the last inverted triangle example I built would show a bit of yellow above and below a V-hex flag alerting a player to the mines there and that is actually a bit better than it has been up until now as a single mine would not show under a V-Hex flag and only be really obvious with three-four EDIT ----And there is always....... \ - Enable or disable the display of victory hexes.** that has no effect on mines but it allows you to check under a V-hex |

https://i.imgur.com/UoxoxMP.png Some proposition this mines option may have a button in game interface typically we will have standard mines icons like now but when you click that button you can change minefield representation to other icon and you can in that way cycle through many minefields icons and chose that what is best for your taste. In that way will be possible to use all the icons which Don present to us. Problem with solution is that will need some addition to game code ;) that button which need cycle through new SHP file icons. Plus of that solution is that in SPWW2 if that code also will be added we can have "Achtung Minen" sign. Probably one shp may be dedicated just for signs from various parts of the world. Just proposition to consideration :) |
Re: Ukraine 2021(?)
While I can see how the ability to cycle through various mine/sign graphics that allow players to try different representations would be a 'nice" addition it overcomplicates what was intended to be a simple swap file exercise like the Alternate German flags in SPww2
Also, while Red is indeed the predominant colour used on these signs in real life the issue for Red, that the question about how they would work with V hexes pointed out, Red is used a lot more for flags than yellow is. OTOH a red sign on the game map is a bit more subdued and less eye-catching than Yellow I have not made up my mind one way or the other |
Re: Ukraine 2021(?)
Just curious, would these be a player option to use or not?

Re: Ukraine 2021(?)
This is an example of how the inverted red triangle version would look In the game
https://i.imgur.com/YcpIM4T.png The tiny left side shows what it would look like fully zoomed out which is more clear than the existing set The middle example is the standard 1:1 level that the game starts up with The right side is zoomed all the way in I used Uganda as it had a colourful flag. Note the "tail" of the mine sign can clearly be seen under a V hex flag indicating there are mines there A further refinement of placement in hex. This lowers the inverted triangle so that the skull symbol is in the middle of the hex but the "tail" of the triangle now hangs fully down below a V hex flag and the four different levels of mines laid can be clearly seen https://i.imgur.com/iA5IVWC.png NO decision has been made as to which or even if for sure they will be added |
