ATG Icons - massive update

[Mario_Fr]

Some months ago I did some icons for some anti-tank guns...

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.

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

[Mario_Fr]

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.

[Wiking]

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

[Warwick]

Nice work, they look really good.

Regards, Warwick

[Mario_Fr]

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

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.

[Mario_Fr]

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.

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.
