ATG Icons - massive update
 

Some months ago I did some icons for some anti-tank guns...
http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showthread.php?t=50696


Well, it was fun to do and I did go on from there and now every ATG should have it`s own icon. I even made a grey, desert, winter, green, brown and camouflage version of many of them.

Overall it`s 45 different guns and some 185 icons.

My suggestion is to use in generel green for Russia, brown for US and Uk and grey or camo for Germany, but of course winter and desert icons are included as well.


Here are some examples (only a selection):

I`ve included in the zip file a key to all the numbers for Mobhack, so you can see which gun is which.

It`s new shp files (icon0185.shp and icon0186.shp), so no need to overwrite.
Just unzip and put the two shp files to your \Shrapnel Games\The Camo Workshop\WinSPWW2\Game Data\Graphics, then it`s # 7900 to 8088.

Important: It`s best to turn off ID tags in the preferences or use the excellent Mini ID flags by Cross, otherwise it`s difficult to see a lot of details.

Maybe someone can give me feedback on this, which is always nice when you do some icons.

Re: ATG Icons - massive update
 

Give me time to recover and really have a look at these and maybe we can add them to the game

Re: ATG Icons - massive update
 

Don, please take all the time in the world to recover first. This is just icons for anti-tank guns, so really no need to rush.

But if you want to include the icons in some future patch, I would be happy.

Re: ATG Icons - massive update
 

Pretty freaking cool! I don't have time to install and try these out yet, but its on the to do list. Every little bit helps with a game this old, Mario :)

Re: ATG Icons - massive update
 

Nice work, they look really good.

Regards, Warwick

Re: ATG Icons - massive update
 

Thanks for the kind feedback.

I also plan to continue and make some icons for the AAA (2,5cm to 3,7cm) and maybe even some field guns and howitzer, but not of all of them, it`s just too many.

But first I want to have a look at all the other icons I did the last five or so years which got rusty on my HD.
It`s mostly resizing, rescaling and standardizing, then I can post them here.

Cheers

Re: ATG Icons - massive update
 

That's an impressive array of icons, though I must admit that when placed on actual game setting I probably would not be able to tell the differences between most of those.

That said, there seems to be some distinctive ones, like 2 and 25 pounders with their specific carriages.

Re: ATG Icons - massive update
 

Yes, I know, especially when ID tags are on, it`s difficult to see much detail in the game.

My advice is to select different colours for the nations, so Germany has grey or camo, Russia green and the British and US brown.

Re: ATG Icons - massive update
 

One vote from me for the AAA icons.
Not only are most of the existing ones terrible but the same icon is used to represent various French, Italian, Japanese, you name it AA guns that look nothing alike in real life.

And great work on the ATG ones BTW.

Re: ATG Icons - massive update
 

Try Cross' excellent "Miniature ID flag Mod"

Re: ATG Icons - massive update
 

The only problem is that AAA icons are somewhat more difficult to make and that I do have very few pictures in bird`s eye view of them.
For the German 2 and 3,7cm Flak it will be possible, but I`m not sure if I can model every French, Japanes, Italian AAA.

Re: ATG Icons - massive update
 

I'm a dev of the Forgotten Hope 2 mod for Battlefield 2. We have accurate 3d models of the 2cm Flak 38, 2cm Flakvierling 38, 2cm Flak 38 on Sd.Ah.51 trailer, Italian 20/65 aa gun, M33 50cal, M51 50 cal and 40mm Bofors. If you need a topdown view of any of them I can get it.

Re: ATG Icons - massive update
 

Thanks, that would be perfect.

Except of the Bofors which looks already very nice in the game, I could utilize every one of the list.
I do have some pictures of the 2cm Flak 38 and the 3,7cm Flak from blueprints.com but if I can have a look at your 3D models, I would appreciate.

Re: ATG Icons - massive update
 

Ts4EVER, I remember playing the original Forgotten Hope for Battlefield 1942. I don't know if you were with the team then, but I'm glad to hear that you guys are still alive and kicking :) You turned a good game into a great game!

Re: ATG Icons - massive update
 

Ok.
Note that I am not a 3d modeller so I don't know how to properly render these. I just took a bunch of editor screenshots of relatively low quality, but it should show you the proportions.

@Wiking: Thanks! I wasn't around back then though, I only became a dev last year for this Omaha Beach map:

Sometimes I wish BF2 mapping was as simple as WinSPWW2 mapping...

Re: ATG Icons - massive update
 

That really really help, Ts4EVER, thanks a lot.

Here is a first glimpse of how the 2cm Flak could look like in the game. It`s only a first try, but looks not bad in my opinion.

Do you have a picture of the 3,7cm Flak 36 as well?

Re: ATG Icons - massive update
 

Pretty slick, Mario. I am always looking for ways to tweak SPWW2 so I'm keeping a close eye on this thread :)

Re: ATG Icons - massive update
 

Lots of great stuff in the Mods sub forum ;)

Re: ATG Icons - massive update
 

I'm afraid those are all the light flaks we have (we have a twin MG34 as well, but I don't think that is in SPWW2). We also have the 8.8cm Flak 36 with and without shield, but IIRC you already have an icon for that.

Re: ATG Icons - massive update
 

Aye, I already have virtually all of Cross's stuff and many other little things from there. :D

Re: ATG Icons - massive update
 

Ts4EVER, can you please post the 8,8cm Flak 36 without shield and the twin MG 34 anyway, maybe I can use it.

And if you have models of howitzer or field guns, I could make icons for them as well.

So far, I only have made the German 7,5cm leIG 18 and the 15cm sIG 33.

Re: ATG Icons - massive update
 

Ok, sadly I couldn't find the twin MG34 in the files. Also check your pms btw.

Re: ATG Icons - massive update
 

@DRG

Hello Don,

maybe it is still possible to add the icons for the ATG guns that I`ve done.

Or have you decided against it?


Cheers

Mario

Re: ATG Icons - massive update
 

If time allows I will consider it but that's all I will promise at this time. Adding the Icons to the SHP files is the shallow end of the pool of work

Re: ATG Icons - massive update
 

That is beautiful work

Re: ATG Icons - massive update
 

Wish someone would do the WWII AA guns, only the bofors looks at all realistic.

Re: ATG Icons - massive update
 

I`ve done some AA, which I can post here later, but right now it`s only the 20mm AA (Germany and Italy).

Re: ATG Icons - massive update
 

But maybe the size has to be scaled still.
