[REL] Supreme Commander icons (FAF)

is he giving good advice?

EDIT: I managed to add all and commit but can't push


EDIT: this is a slow (and painfull!) but steadily progressing process :


EDIT: finally a push went through.

annnd you can see it in the folder:




what now?

Well, you're almost there now.

On GitHub, press "releases", and create a new one. That will provide you with a link to the source code as a .zip. Use that link in Mereth's PAMM submission form here: http://pamm-mereth.rhcloud.com/mod

If everything went well, you can press Publish and Bob's your uncle.

errr? this :
clicky clicky then this :


so what I type should look like : https://github.com/tatsujb/FAFicons_v.15.zip ?

except i have to make the zip first right?

Bob's my uncle? but why? who is this bob?

You didn't create a release yet though. At least, I don't see any here: https://github.com/tatsujb/FAFicons/releases

For comparison: https://github.com/DeathByDenim/mines_as_strips/releases
Note that I have "Source code (zip)" there, which links to the zip that should be used in Mereth submission form.

I think Bob's an Australian. I don't know either.

@DeathByDenim
is github capable of zipping for me?

I don't know what to fill in here :

1.0.0

a release

a description to describe the release

And yes, GitHub zips for you.

how ? EDIT : figured it out.

EDIT : I can't remove the .zip I made my self and pushed like an idiot.

EDIT : managed to do it from the website.

on my way to not needing babysitting anymore!!

**** ! uploaded wrong version

@cola_colin @DeathByDenim HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLP

I brokesis itttz!!!!!!


it refuses to take into account my new push.

ok apparently I HAVE to change the version number in the config file and then it'll play nice.

Ha, glad you got it working. And yes, you can't push an update while keeping the same version number because it's... well... an update, eh?

yeah but I provided a new number for the zip. I didn't think it would look inside the actual files for a version number and refuse it if it was the same.

can't believe I figured this bit out, through trial and error though.

thanks for all the rest, without your help and cola's I coulda been there a long time

I really like this mod, but there is one thing that makes using this a bit difficult: That is the size of the commander icon from a range. It's a bit difficult to see it when you're zoomed out at a distance. Would it be possible to increase the size of the commander icon when you're zoomed out?

Anyways, thanks for this great mod!

Your words go right to my heart.

I could do a special one for you if you want.

the reason it's this small is because of pixel perfection.

Is pixel perfection important to you? if not I can just scale it up.

if it is then i'll propose several designs to you.

I recently started PA back up and tried out my mod. I found the sub icon and it's torpedoes to be off also alot of the colors are off, it no longer really looks like the demo video. is that in need of a fix?

Pixel Perfection isn't all that important to me, but it is nice to have. Really, whatever option is easiest on you would be just fine. As for the sub icon, I have yet to try out naval using this mod so I can't say anything on that part; I'll give it a look sees later.

well in anycase here's a pixel perfect take from me :

and here's a scaled up one :

right click and save image as.

open up PAMM go into options, click on the button at the end of "PA UI Mod Location"

then click on "com.pa.tatsu.FAFicons" then "ui" , "main" , "atlas", "icon_atlas", "img", "strategic_icons" and then drop either file there and overwrite.

try them both out.


What we think looks good when we have it occupying a big space on our screen doesn't necessarily look as good as a small icon ingame.
