Counter Mod

Please note, country colours are changed in the scenario folder countries.csv file. I can post colour codes to match the picture if required.

Looks like someone did't read my post about changes regarding skins in patch 1.03 [;)]
tm.asp?m=2529872

Another new thing is possibility to redefine colors of countries (default ones are in scenarios countries.csv).
Now you can add countries.csv to units skin folder with new colors definition for any country you want (country ID is important, not name).

@bleck,
okay I may have forgotten all that fine print...but; how much free time do you think we have? [:)]
Yes, I can go in and add the country colours, (and will do so), but not all will agree on the choices...as for individual unit pictures/ regiment patches[X(]
How many years have you got? [:'(]

[Edit] If colour 2 is not used, why does it need to be included in the unit's .csv definition file?
Is the 2nd, 3rd, 4th colour definitions a redundant code for something no longer under consideration? or is it being retained for some future purpose? just curious.

[Magpius]

Bleck,
Where is the country colour code embedded into the land_units.csv file? I tried cutting in your example, but the countries.csv colours still over-ride the unit.csv
...any chance you could add in some country colour code into my land-units.csv and post back into the thread, as proof of concept, as I notice Razz had issues trying to get unit pics for ships.

Both. Redundant AND retained for some (unknown yet) future purpose.

Not in land_units.csv, you need to create new file named countries.csv in your skin folder. Example attached.

Thanks again B.
Can I suggest that the countries.csv file for SOP & TOW have the same country code list.

@seamonkey
SC1 was a great game.
It was not just his units, but his GUI mod also, that I used extensively.
JB even hinted at working on a TOW mod in the forums here, but I'm not sure what happened?
I know the SC2 players are fanatical and highlight the quality of the game play, but, it's just not hexes! (very old debate@battlefront!)
If you still have JB's counter mod for SC1 feel free to post here and I will try to incorporate accordingly (time willing).
thanks

[Magpius]

This counter set is the reworked NATO units from TOW.
NB It also includes a countries.csv file that will change the default scenario colours.
example below

zip file next post.

[Magpius]

Here is the .zip file.
NB: You will need to make a [UnitsSkins]Folder to place these files in...

[Rasputitsa]

Thanks very much, really nice work, just as it was for TOW.[:)]

[Magpius]

Thanks Rasp.
I'm glad you like them.
-a slight tweak from TOW, relocation of commander icons, etc.
based on original graphics. more a .csv mod

Hey, you've got an election coming up. Pay attention to the pollyticks, not sit around drinking Melbourne Bitter  and listening to Kerry O'Keefe on the ABC!
(Tomo cracks the whip!)

Now get back to the design table, we want more counters from you quicksmart or you'll be eating Whiskas again NEXT year.

[Magpius]

Tomo,
working on it.
maps not counters atm.

nothing beats Kerry!

You have to admit that England produces consistent results in most sports, either way it's a small price to pay for some good game graphics from down-under. [;)]

Pity about the gloomy bad light [:(], we have bright sunshine here [8D], snow on the way. [:)]

PS - surely you would want to extend the agony over more than one day. [:'(]

[Tomokatu]

The agony has already lasted a century.
That's what The Ashes was all about - "The Death of English Cricket". Isn't that what it says on the Holy Urn?
 
Just rubbing your noses in it now, that's all.
 

[Rasputitsa]

Not 'was' all about, IS all about. [:)]

[Magpius]

Nice thread hijack, maybe this will get you back on track.[;)]

[Rasputitsa]

Good work, as usual, I assume the map is for TOW, is it one that you have posted, as I don't remember seeing before ? [:)]

[Tomokatu]

I like 'em. Informative, crisp, easily distinguished on a crowded map.

[Magpius]

The map's an old TOW mod. (not all mods I make go as far as upload).
The counters are based on the WW1 Matrix game 'Guns of August', check out the AAR's to see them in action.
I'll post 'em if you want 'em.

Someone made a set like these previously...for TOW.
These will be SOP compatible.

[Rasputitsa]

Easy to say for those not doing the work, but the more options available the better the game is. I for one, would like to try them out. [:)]
