More Correct Counter Colors

Post by OberGeneral »

Here is mod that changes the color of the unit counters to what is more historically accurate.
Credit goes to Stoat who did this for WitE 1.

I will be uploading this mod to Nexus Mods. Search for Gary Grigsby's War in the East 2.

Unzip to your WitE 2 Dat/Art/Units folder.

Nexus Mods has still not activated my mod so I am not releasing this. DropBox costs too much
and I don't know where else I can share zip files.[:(]

@OberGeneral, I love your mod but their are bugs that need to be fixed. The Hungarian's are practically blank counters, and there are also almost blank counters for some Luftwaffe and German units.

@OberGeneral, I do really like your color mod but there is an issue with the Luftwaffe.

This is a mod that was done for WitE 1. I just copied it over to WitE 2. I am aware of these problems but not sure how to fix them.[:(]

I do like those colors too.
Luftwaffe issue seems related to symbols not being properly applied on top of the counter background. Looking at those files (original and moded ones), I've got an idea how to fix it.

OK, it's working so I can do it for the whole set (let me about an hour before posting the corrected files).
I've modified the 76x76 counter for testing it and here is Luftflotte 4 big counter before and after modification:

Thanks to metaphore. I still would like the Soviet Naval units added and fixed.
