Please gift Iron Cross a copy of War in Europe, hint hint
We need some of his magic dust in the ETO.
Took a peek, but I'd rather not reverse engineer his great work!

Samething for me, possible that the server is too busy, the mod has too much success.

Of course if it works for you why not.

It is visible, but perhaps a little too subtle.
How about this as an alternative?

Hi Ironx,
I edited mys posts, my problem came from a bad installation of the Welk's map mod. Now all is ok. sorry to have bothered you for nothing.

No, it's no bother. I felt that the original was too subtle for me anyway. When I am happy with the new icon I will upload it so that it'll be available for anyone who wants to use it.

Uppdated the last mod. Even better. I hade no real quarrel with the soldier symbols, but this was much, much nicer.
Only problem is, everytime you make an improvement, I have to redo my changes too. [;)]

Don't really like the weather symbols in the picture above. After you changed the colour of the rain earlier, I think the weather graphics are very good. You can see the cold and the wetness.

These affect storms over oceans only. The rain and snow tiles are the same as before. I've altered the storm icon a little from the above, but have decided to use this from now on rather than the original. It's available now as a small zip file.

Haha! Nothing right now. It's pretty much done. But never say never...
I did look today at the fighter intercept/escort range tile highlight - it appears when clicking a second/third time on an air unit - as it's not obvious what the colors mean. A quick read of the manual clarified that and what I replaced it with didn't look better so in the end, I didn't change it.

For some reason the Russian nato counters don't change in the game, but when I check the bitmaps folder they are modified. I've tried re-installing with same result. Any ideas what might be wrong?
