Did the zoomed out version of these ever get done?

For those who would like to have an evolutionary version of the planes
They can mark names on the counters , something like this :


6 fighters
4TB ; 4 MB ; 6 ST and 6 "sea"

Hello GordianKnot

The zoom out version is in progress, but that's much work than i was expected (not only scale down of current files)
I want to release something wich is readable

Thanks for all the hard work! Hope I didn't come across as sounding impatient. I (we) greatly appreciate your efforts!

Hello, my USSR sprites didnt work in this mod ( they have nato symbols), all other countries are OK . any solutions ?

you must put the unit_sprites_Nato in each campaigns/.../bitmaps/major_04

ok thanks

Amazing work Sipres!

If there was a wish I had for either the Original developers or Modders would be to include historical unit names for the standard start of scenarios/campaigns. That would bring these games to another level of realism in regards to actual start of battles order of battle historical settings.

After that players can diverge into all their personal choices for unit purchases without names. Just a thought.

And I like the idea of a rounded counter for Air Units too.

Great job!

Really appreciate all the work going into this mod.

I am playing Soviet, but still getting Nato symbols like Jamper89 after putting unit_sprites_nato into Major_04. All others work fine.

Hello Rosseau,

Do you play a custom campaign?
The problem I have seen is every time you create a new campaign, the game engine will automatically copy Major_04 folder with the original game sprite (and then overwrite the moded file).

The reason is I believe due to shock Army counter design wich is specific to red army.

Try to copy again the Modded unit_sprites_nato into Major_04 and make sure you are in the correct campaign folder.

I have seen there is 1 Major nation slot unused, any Idea wich Nation I could add?

SIPRES, Started new campaign hotseat with correct file in Major_04 (I can see your Soviet sprites when opening file manually), but no go. I checked and your file was not replaced.

Not that I'm complaining, mind you! Great mod. Just want to give you feedback. Thanks.

little bit strange...
I wonder this is due to hotseat?
Can you try same campaign in single player, just in case?
Where did you install the files?

in the core game
C:\Program Files (x86)\Matrix Games\Strategic Command WWII - War in Europe\Bitmaps\Major_04
or in a user campaign?
C:\Users\Documents\My Games\Strategic Command WWII - War In Europe\Campaigns ect...

We have had the same issue in the past. See post #2 here for a solution, hopefully:

Single player Case Blue vanilla campaign and same problem. I see sPZAbt653's point about modded campaigns going in the documents folder. But this only occurs with the /bitmaps/Major_4 Russian units, not all the others, so doesn't make sense. The game is installed in C:\Battlefront\SC3

However, if it is working for everyone else, that's my problem. The other sprites are awesome.

for major_04
You must replace unit_sprites_nato in each campaign folder!

Thanks Daon! I'm thick as a brick. Works fine. I had only changed it in the main bitmaps folder. Looking forward to SIPRES' upcoming mod.

Hi SIPRES,

I modded your plane mod. Mind if I use it for my WWIII1946 Mod?

No problem Hairog
Feel free to use/Mod them.

Christophe

Thanks SIPRES. Great stuff.
