TRIPARTITE PACK for AoD (new graphics and audio)

[Hister]

Seems like a day full of big positive events!

You might want to ask why - 'cos I finally managed my customised icons for CORE to work! Yaaaay. And besides your corrections files are working gain - double yeeey!


Hereby I proudly present my first humble result at modding icons to the other dude who prefers Titan's approach for CORE:




Edit: @Titan: I reinstalled GIMP and it solved my problems with exporting modded files.

 

[Titan79]

So reinstalling did the trick? Good to know!

By the way, that counterstrip seems to be exactly the one I've adapted on your request some days ago; the difference is that you moved the navy tags a bit more to the top, isn't it?

Good idea about removing the Xs, also - that wouldn't be needed for vanilla since the counters are differently made, but for CORE it is a neat solution (provided one doesn't miss them, though. I, for one, like to see them - they give an added military feeling, IMO).

 

[Hister]

Yes reinstalling did the trick. Maybe the latest version had the problem corrected, dunno.

By the way, that counterstrip seems to be exactly the one I've adapted on your request some days ago; the difference is that you moved the navy tags a bit more to the top, isn't it?

Yes that is yours; what I did was I moved the LR SS and CVL icon text more to the left and for counter_size I moved the two dots more to the right so as to avoid overlapping and deleted the X's 'cos they overlapped either way I've put them.
I actually prefer not having x's 'cos icons are less cluttered that way but I totally understand your luck of immersion with it.

 

[Titan79]

Ah, ok, it's clear.

As for the latest version fixing the problem: I doubt it since mine is not so up-to-date, yet it works fine. Maybe simply a bad install? Anyway, the important thing is that now it's ok!


Edit:

A generous selection of icons, made from the excellent findings by bestmajor, which will be present in the next version of Corrections:





P.S.: bestmajor, you managed to make me a fan of bikes. We'd definitely need to find suitable drawings for the remaining three majors, i.e. JAP, SOV and USA (and maybe some of the Axis/Allies minors as well)!

 

[bestmajor]

well, maybe ROM as they start with CAV? - otherwise maybe try to translate "motorcycles ww2 [GPW]" into cyrillic letters and google with those for SOV, MON and TAN?
JAP could be used as well for MAN and MEN?

otherwise camels would be nice to have for early SAU, OMN, YEM, IRQ

yes sorry i didnt mention that. what Hister said is true. i just always look forward to find new stuff and forget the flowers. so thanks for making these and you have great rottweiler-qualities to follow this mod over years! doesnt happen too often in these holy halls, unfortunately.

Yeah, ROM, like HUN as well, should have their own motorized cavalry icons - I'll make some research and see what I can find. Would be cool to find one even for CAN, AST and maybe NZL and SAF.

In the meantime, I've just stumbled upon this one which I think I'll use for SOV cav.

JAP cavalry could surely be "lent" to MAN and MEN, since I highly doubt we'd ever find a single drawing for these two countries' armed forces, even if we were to search for a whole century (though I'd like to have at least one or two infantries for them so to customize them a bit more).

Good idea - but do those countries ever produce cavalry units at all, in game?

some HQs: http://www.creativemodels.net/images/Products/MAS35108.jpg

Very good drawing! By the way, from left to right they're: Monty, Zhukov, Patton, De Gaulle, von Manstein and Yamashita - is it he the last one, isn't he?

Thank you both very much!

Don't worry best, your contribution to this is already beyond gratitude from mine - I do really much more appreciate some ten drawings more found on the web for making icons than a cheer .

In addition, thanks also for the remark on tenacity. And now, the good news: as long as there will be an AoD, there will be a TP (and there will be even if they'd release an AoD2, provided they keep the current icon tree) .

That one was definitely missing in my collection - here it goes:

well if its about material there is some room for tweaks, i'd say - eg i doubt that CW minors or MON, MEN and Man produced their own material, so most things could be used for them IMO. MAN inf is possible to get as a photo, even a MAN HQ in my mod - unfortunately i doubt it could be used for your stuff.

thumb is up!

all cool, except the last one is Sugiyama Hajime http://generals.dk/general/Sugiyama/Hajime/Japan.html
(maybe 1939 HQ and Yamashita later)

well more INF than MAR, the icon itself looks good, though.

Yep, true. Well, I'll then adapt some Japanese icons to their two puppets. Anyway, could you please link me that photograph? I'd be curious to see if it's possible to get something out of it for an icon.

Thanks for the clarification. I should have known better I was risking enough going to venture on your territory .

Sugiyama. Cool. I would have never recognized him...

Heh, you're right. As a matter of fact, all my previous four tiers of Soviet marines display their traditional marine uniforms.

I was facing a problem here, and it is that the icon is too cool to let it out from the set, and I've already filled the infantry ranks (with some shooting figures as well ). In addition, being this an assault engineer, i.e. an "elite", I thought it would fit better in one of the three special inf cathegories - mar, alp or para. Now that I think of it, maybe it would be better to make it a paratrooper instead...?

problem is i'm not at home and i'll just return in early october - no collection here and i have no idea where i have these pics from originally. BUT D) i posted some of them here http://www.stonyroad.de/forum/showthread.php?t=9086 (sould be complicated though)

Now that I think of it, maybe it would be better to make it a paratrooper instead...?

well if you ask me dont chose the easiest way; we'll find some. are soviet commandos still needed?

Ah, yes, I remember that thread - and I'd say that the 1st snapshot in post #19 could provide a good model for MAN. If I manage to dig out an icon, I'll post it.

well if you ask me dont chose the easiest way; we'll find some. are soviet commandos still needed?

Ok, but it would also be a pity to scratch it... meh, I guess it will be replaced by even better ones . // If by commandos you mean marines, then rather no; although one or two for the later models could prove useful. If you mean paratroopers, then definitely yes - they're among the hardest type of units to find so far, in my experience!

Has this been updated for 1.08?

Has this been updated for 1.08?

I'm currently working on it . Hopefully, it will be by the end of this week-end; I'll post a notice when it's done!

Thanks best! But it's specifically Soviet paras which are hard to find. Other countries are OK.


Edit:

The (probably) last teaser before the actual release of Corrections updated for 1.08. Two models I'm rather proud of, given the work it took to clean the background:

@ Bestmajor: now the only missing Cav IV icon for majors is USA's one .

wll, i think you have to dig out russian words then. probably not that much with latin letters.

These are additional very good findings - thanks a lot!

By the way, due to your last links I can announce that tier IV cavalry (i.e. bikers) for all majors is complete - being USA the last one missing:
