[REL] Transparent Strategic Icons V4.1 (Galactic War)

Excellent work, when may we be seeing this?

after a short smalltalk with proeleert .. tomorrow

Well tonight 18:00 GMT+1 actually

moldez, should we ever meet I will make out with you so hard.

proeleert can watch.

.. don´t know what to say ...

Shhhhhhhh, don't say anything...

to ruin the magic of the moment? .. ah damn too late sorry

Updated to 3.3 and totally ignoring previous posts

well as @proeleert just says (including the ignoring part ) thx again man

Update to Version 3.3

New Icons: ( thx @tatsujb for his infos on that ! )
- bomb bots ---> never used but still they got an icon
- pelican ---> feedback needed
- land mines ---> now it´s really fun to place them
- reworked orbital (not my final thought on that ..)

- lots of changes to existing icons to force more contrast (@Quitch )
---> time to leave your comfort zone and choose a different colour already!
- adjustments to iconscaling - Most defences are bigger again .. orbital is bigger again
- and many many more .. (all fabbers updated again for example)

have fun,

Moldez

Feedback is as always very welcome !

whoops .. found a bug

That contrast change is a godsend, especially combined with larger defence icons.

The Inferno could really do with a different sign, it's way too similar to the Spinner.

It would be good if, for consistency's sake, the Skitter had that same overhead line the Firefly has.

yeah, already thought about that, I have to release a fix anyway cause the inferno and gunship have f***** flickerin borders

.. I´d like to keep the inferno icon though - it´s the closecombat icon Uber uses for gunships too (and for combatengeniers !? but I got rid of that)

Also, shouldn't the Gunship icon have a second border as it's a T2 unit?

will consider that as soon as a lvl2 gunship is added into the game .. right now I think it is somewhat t1 ? same for the transport (I still hope for a t1 dropship/gunship).

Moldez

They are made by an advanced air factory, so they are advanced air by default, right? They are supposed to be just specialized units, not direct upgrades as far as I know. (unlike the hummingbird and pelegrine)

thx for feedback @DeathByDenim

specialized units - and they have special/unique icons

.. If the majority wants to have a second border I would add it, but that´s hard to decide from so few people talking to me - and thx again to this group!

they have no border because they are somewhat standalone right now

or:

they should have a second border because they are build in an advanced factory

now it´s up to you, I can live with either way

Moldez

but maybe I´m wrong and there are only 6 guys playin my mod .. then one third of them already want that change.

i would vote for 2nd border.

I haven't updated yet but surely will when I get home later. This is my second favorite after the hotbuild mod. Wouldn't leave home without it.

PAMM says 1105 downloads. Don't know if it only counts uniques, includes updates, etc.

To be honest, I'm not sure I do want the change. It's an issue I raised as a query more than anything, I haven't had any issues with the icon thus far so I'm not sure changing it for consistency is worth it. Then again, if I were a new user picking up this mod the lack of a second border could be misleading.
