Matrix Games Forums

You can find here the graphics which will allow you to create new units to enrich mods after WW2 (like the "Heroes of the Gap" mod available here : http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3584401).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the creators of mods, you take (right click/save as) graphics files (127x127 px BMP) such as they are (without numbers),
you assemble them in a BMP file corresponding to the game and you create the UNITS.CSV file with the units which you want.
You post these files.
With the UNITS.CSV file, I can add the values which have to appear on the file of the unit and I re-assemble the whole in a similar BMP file as your original.
Then I post these BMP files,
and you can add them to your finished mod.
In this way, the numbers of the unit are registered only when they are definitive.

If you wish for units which are not present here, do not hesitate to ask me for them.
I would indulge to create them.

Leopard 2 is one mean MBT

i don't understand what you want to say.

It's just a silly comment.

I think the Leopard 2 is a good Main Battle Tank. "Mean" in this case is saying it's tough.

The counters look great!

I continue to be amazed at the work being done! [&o]

Thanks again all,
Chris

Added the italians...

Where do you get the numbers for the blank counters. Which are great by the way. Nice work thanks.

The numbers have to be determined by modders (you maybe ?) And to put in a units.xls file, then i can add them to the graphics.
That's the major point to do. To determine these numbers is very hard because they must be coordinate with the existing units in game.
You can inspire yourself with the modern units included in the "heroes of the gap" mod soon available in the download mods thread.

Thanks for the response. Are there any German Infantry counters anywhere yet.

You can find some german infantry counters in the heroes of the gap mod. I can make some others if you want but it take more time to do than the vehicles ones. Let me know what counters (squad, half squad, heroes, officers,...) you want.

That would be great if you could. I was thinking a selection like you did for the French would be really handy. Even if you just made up the base counters I could add the numbers. Do you know what font is being used for the counter numbers and letters?

I soon have a special layer to put the numbers on my photoshop it's very easy... the font i use is the arial (helvetica on Mac)

I am just using microsoft paint so they tend to come out a little fuzzy.

Also how do you get the game to recognize the counter files. I have made a couple files and put them in the art folder but the game doesnt see them.
