Player icon mods
 

Ok, following Andy's advice, i'll start a thread where various custom icon packs can be posted, debated, commented etc.

For now this is just a placeholder, I guess I'll add my own items as I go along, provided anyone has any use for them! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Big advantage over the mailing list/site folder: I will now be able to take "wishlists, corrections, congratulations, insults..." LIVE!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/cool.gif

And if anyone else feels like adding their own stuff, I do not rule this forum, so just go ahead, do!

Cheers,

Plasma

Guys, this is way easier than the Yahoo site!

Re: Player icon mods
 

Some assorted icon .bmps for WinSPMBT. I'm not icluding .shp files because the official ones will probably be changed in a patch anyway.

Some were also done by PlasmaKrab, but a little variety never hurt anyone. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

EFV(AAAV) - green and tan
Stryker engineering vehicle with roller - green and tan
Stryker engineering vehicle with blade - green and tan
Black Littlebird with 5 blades
EFOGM HMMWV
KEM Launcher HMMWV
HAWK AMRAAM
HUMRAAM (CLAWS) turret - green and tan
Avenger turret - green and tan
Stock HMMWV for HUMRAAM and Avenger turrets - green and tan
UCAV
Stryker with slat armor - green and tan
G6 SPA (South Africa) - green and tan
AH1Z Supercobra with 4 blades - grey and tan

Re: Player icon mods
 

Hey, these are the ones you posted on the Yahoo site!
Quite a good piece of work indeed http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/cool.gif

G6 is a good one, it just has kept slipping off my mind...
Too bad, that is a really tough one http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Your UCAV and HUMRAAMs are as good as they were! And as to the EFV; well Ididn't even know it had been termed EFV, so I won't challenge you on this one!

I promised myself I would have a further look at this SLAT version you made, but I just haven't had time yet!

And, well, apparently we've been working at cross-purposes on the Avenger, LOSAT and EFOGM. But when I started these I had to rework the whole Hummer range from the bottom up, since they were about 25% too big!
Hence the difference! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

So I guess it is up to what anyone feels like doing: adding new icons in the existing series or replacing the whole batch.

keep up the good work!

Regards,

Plasma

Re: Player icon mods
 

It took me forever to find an overhead view of the G6. I sometimes just alter existing icons if they are close to what I need (Shhhh...don't tell anyone).

Yeah, I decided to keep the Hummer 'big' look. They're easier to work with.

I prefer my LOSAT in the raised position, though it does look odd when moving.

Also, I had to redo the tan icons because of the new palette for WinSPMBT.

I may end up using your Hummers if I decide I like the realistic size. My eyes aren't what they used to be, though. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Re: Player icon mods
 

Don't repeat it, but I do the same... Except I tend to bicker it all down to scraping TINY bits so no one will see it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/redface.gif
Ssssh, we're both scavengers pretending to be artists but who cares?
Well I started doing Avenger at first on the old basis, but when I started with pickup variants from scaled-down drawings, I noticed something was wrong...
http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif You mean the EFOGM? If so, I can tell you that was tough work until I saw live firing picture from the Japanese Type-96 MPMS firing at a ~30° angle. There were pics from EFOGM with rocket pod in this position, so I decided it was much easier to render something correct than with the launcher raised http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif
I'm still not quite satisfied with the triangle shadow, but well...
If you're really talking LOSAT, weell I didn't notice there WAS a raised position... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/redface.gif
Did you? Were you having trouble with your old ones? Though the standard .shp pack doesn't seem to have changed http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif
Woops, I better have a check...
Seen me Wiesels? The tiny German paratroop support stuff.
I wonder why I bothered drawing the camo pixel by pixel and shading all the facettes, the body is 23 pxl long! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

Re: Player icon mods
 

Right, EFOGM. I've only seen it in the fully upright position. May have to change that now.

Re: Player icon mods
 

Shouldn't think so, from what I gathered of the future US doctrine, this one can stay vertical-launch ithout worry. That is just the Japanese versio that I saw angle-fired:

http://www.globalsecurity.org/milita...ype-96-fog.htm

BTW, this one doesn't figure in the Japanese oob yet http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: Player icon mods
 

Do you have your icons integrated into your oobs? And if so, could you post them here?

Re: Player icon mods
 

Mainly yes, but I would have to check what was changed in the oobs since the DOS version.

But with SA-10, Hummer, VAB, XA-180, ec, that changes some dozens of oobs.
I'll have to check it all with the latest oob files.

Re: Player icon mods, updated oobs

Edited 21/10/05 with new corrected series (earlier ones were damaged by the shp compression) including text file with icon info and SPfix placement instructions.

Re: Player icon mods
 

Using drawings of the FMC AIFV found in RP Hunnicutt's Bradley, I developed these icons. They're to the
same scale as the in-game M113 Icon.
