Sipres, are you still working on those graphical icons? That's exactly what I am looking for...

+1, me also, as i have no idea still on Nato ones, old i maybe, but Nato ones just don't cut it for many players

+1

I usually prefer NATO symbols, since most games using figurative icons just feel childish, but those are really well designed. Very good job. [&o]

Thanks all,

I am currently busy on an other MOD for SC3

But I didnt give up the TOAW one.

I will try to give an update soon

Any updates on these?

I think they won't, perhaps, work well with the smaller sized counters, but that doesn't matter (at least for me). It can bring on a nice effect to have NATO symbols on a more strategical view (zoomed out) and those on a more tactical plane (zoomed in). I was willing to experiment with it, but as far as I can see, most counters aren't done yet.

Hey!,sorry to be a Pooper but is there any joy yet on the news/progress of these awesome looking counters?
Im also of the opinion of some of the above about Nato counters however i dont mind for example a little one in the top left corner say on counters like these ones here above by Sipres.^^

Hi IckieStickie,
I'm working on it.

I'm using some of the Icons from SIPRES (I hope it is allowed?) and some of the Icons from the Euipement256.png in the graphics directory of the game.

It will be for the 2D Huge View oft the Map (Options --> Map View --> 2D Huge) as the example from SIPRES.

It is no problem to change the images in the h_CounterUnits.png with Paint 3D, which is included in Windows 10.

Give me three days more and I will post the file,

All you have to do is:
(1) backup the h_CounterUnits.png file in the graphics directory
(2) Copy the new h_CounterUnits.png from this attachement in the graphics directory

Remarks
- it works only in the huge map view (Options -> Map View -> 2d Huge)
- it is easy to replace the Icons in h_CounterUnits.png, you can do it with the windows 10 tool "paint 3d"
- at page 97 in the manual is the explanation of the ingame Nato Symbols
- bold left side in the counters means the usual: heavy, heavy weapons
