It should be that only the counters that had to be modified for the campaign are contained within the campaign's own structure, otherwise the default are used, when required.


Thanks Bill. I was beginning to suspect this is how counter bitmaps work. It explains how sometimes my Frankencounters ...

Thanks Bill. I took a closer look at the UK bitmaps and saw what I had missed earlier. Army row becomes brigade. Your OOB explanation clears things up nicely.
Now it's full speed ahead on Frankencounter for Older eyes v1.2

Something wonky about this campaign scenario.

UK/ Empire references the X Counter for both Brigade and Regiment. Indistinguishable in game without checking properties. Brigade attack 5 & 3, Regiments 2 & 2. Good luck keeping track of who's who. Alas, this cannot be corrected through bitmaps but ...

OCB,

Insignia clarification was most timely. Imphal is gonna be slightly more involved than I anticipated as counter changes will be required for the following countries:

Axis Minor - I I I replaces XXX
Allied Minor - I I I replaces X [Edit: replaces X not XXX] (New addition from stock)
USA - Mars ...

Jack,

I appreciate your attention to the mod. Thanks for the info about unit designations. Most useful as I tackle the Imphal Kohima campaign.

Quick I may be, but not that quick 8-) I've yet to implement and post any changes. The anomalies you see are due to the update, and/or any previous issues ...

Ok recorded a segment to get screen captures.

1) I open the game and chose Day of Infamy scenario. Franken-Mod is already enabled. I play a few moves.
2) I go into Options>MODS and disable Franken-Mod
3) I wait for the units to revert to NATO..and get an error and am quickly kicked.

So I never ...

Nope tried many times and can not get it to work with Imphal-Kohima 1944. I get kicked completely out. Unfortunate as I am ready to start recording a MP match of that scenario for YT.


Without replacement bitmaps in the specific campaign folder things get wonky most rikki tik. Sometimes a ...

In the process of updating my Frankencounter for Older Eyes Mod I found a possible oversight.
Two folders in the location below appear incomplete.

D:\Strategic Command WWII - War in the Pacific\Campaigns\_1944 Imphal and Kohima

Axis Minor [3d and nato sprites present]
Major_06 [nato sprites ...

Yep. As I thought, many new campaign folders.
The original mod for WitP v1.00 had 6 campaigns, each of which required a separate modified bitmap folder:

1939 Khalkhin Gol - Nomonhan
1941 Day of Infamy
1942-43 Solomons Campaign
1944 The Marianas Campaign
1945 August Storm
1945 Iwo Jima

The new DLC ...

<sigh> Here I was happily Frankencountering the navies of SC:War in Europe and just dropped into the old thread to find a new DLC blowing up the mod.
Changes to the file folder structure would be my first guess.
I'll purchase and see what new mischief is afoot.

Jack,
I know of two major sources on the 11th Airborne.
The Angels, by Gen. E. M. Flanagan, Jr.

Also, a history of the 511th, When Angels Fall: From Toccoa to Tokyo , by Jeremy C. Holm. His Grandfather served in the regiment.

As to the custom SF counter for the British Empire, that is the unit ...

Finally the 511th Regiment dropped on the north coast of Luzon preventing any Japanese forces from retreating off the Island. It appears there was a lack of air transports to drop an entire division in the Pacific, up till the end of the war. The 11th was the first occupying force in Japan ...

Quite the regal looking fellow, your Neo-Babylonian Regent. Balthazor does indeed carry some mana.

Glad you got the counters sorted. Thanks for posting that pic of your mod settings. I'm sure it will be helpful for others. I've listed the instructions many places but there is always the danger that ...

Ack! Must refresh page more often. Posters sneaking in unawares!

OCB, didn't see your post until just now.

My modified Historical Flag Mod v1.1 is included in the main package so best not to enable one on top of the mod. If you prefer your own previous version, then I suggest deleting the ...

Jack59,
Ask, and it shall be given you...
Merry Christmas.

Jack,

Glad you're liking the mod so far. The splayed black crosses on the China counters are IronX's original work. Not sure in which version he introduced them as he changed things about frequently during his creative process. They do indeed have a distinctive look.

I'd not considered combining a ...

Version 1.1 released. Download link and instructions in first post of thread.

Screenshots below:

Wow. Just wow...

As a mere pixel jockey, recently delving into the counter game, I remain in awe of the artistic skill and technical acumen of these creations. For those of you wondering why such endeavors take time, I've learned all too well how much brain sweat, hours and effort go into this sort ...

Some screens from Release version 1.0, which for reasons unknown to me aren't showing up in the edit. Hold please....
