You need to replace the original icon files, with those provided in the mod - the 49 of the ICON0nnn.shp files in the game data/graphics folder. The unaltered files should be left in place.

Played the game for the 1st time yesterday. I was the SS in 1946 against the Soviets. I liked it alot. You guys put a hell of an effort into it and I appreciate it.

I did notice one thing. It seems like the Soviets did not have the hordes of men that they throw at the Germans in Winsp WWII. It was still challenging but I only played one meeting engagement. Maybe I'll try a defend and see how that goes.

Either way I am sure I will be putting in quite a few hours on this one :-)

Re: WinSP MBT: Das Reich
 

Btw I used 3rd Reich oob at first time today:P... No any icon problem seen (yet). Looks good overall:).

Re: WinSP MBT: Das Reich
 

Slight hyjack here (I hope RecruitMonty doesn't mind, LOL). But I tossed the Atlantean WW2 OBAT into MOBHack and I'm looking at it now, and I'm a little interested in the backstory you invented for Atlantis -- there seems to be a lot 'unsaid' in the OOBs (WW2 and Modern) and the files attached to them.

Like what was the history of Atlantis? What do all the names mean? :p

Monty, here's some (semi) convergent evolution based upon the same requirement -- massive firepower in a compact armored package.

US T31 (or is it T34) Demolition Tank = 105mm Howitzer, plus two rocket launchers on either side, capable of being reloaded from under armor.

German Pz IV project to use 7.5cm Recoilless Rifles. Attached is an icon that got done uh, ten years ago for the RGW Mod for SPWW2v2 DOS. Maybe you can use it for inspiration.

Re: WinSP MBT: Das Reich
 

Btw, is it any way possible to add both (2Reich and 3Reich) oobs into game (and flags too) at same time? Just using Red/Green or someboby else oobs for them?

Just asking:P

I wouldn't recommend that. You'd be replacing four OOBs for next to no effect.

Did you get the private message I sent you answering this? I ask because it wasn't in my 'Sent Box' and I don't want to derail RecruitMonty's thread too much.

I think it could be better add 2 other oobs into Red/Green (for example) than change 2 oobs all time (depending of course about player's own willing to play as 2Reich/3Reich oobs):re:... But I like to play with both sets;). Okay using Red map will be more mountain terrain but it can be changed easily into more suitable map. So it's not big problem? Another thing is possible icon "mess" by using both 2Reich/3Reich (just speculation I admit)... Any risk exist?

Just 2 cents

Re: WinSP MBT: Das Reich
 

No "icon mess" as such as both variants of 35 are identical in that regard.
