Guille's PzCorps Support Base - Multipurpose Icons and more.

[Messmann]

This is a supply truck.

[Messmann]

This is an improvised airfield...

You could create an aircraft carrier on land with this, possibly in combination with the supply truck.

[Messmann]

What else do I have in store? Let's see...

A standardized car... (Einheits-PKW means unified or standardized "personnel powered vehicle")

This one was available as "Horch 15 G" already, but I changed it a little. It's color and canvas was too dark for the camo schemes.

[Messmann]

Now these are corrections of previous ones, and I give only the base icons and masks.

I corrected the shadow of all my Kubelwagens, because there was no shadow under the car.
I corrected the Bunker Flak and AT, because many pixels were transparent, and that bugged me a little.

Enjoy!

Messmann: Very good units! Thanks for sharing! Keep up the good work, pal!!

[guille1434]

Some more support for the Slovak forces...

The 150 mm Houfnice vz.25, in direct and indirect fire modes, in Slovak and german (captured) schemes.

Enjoy!

[Messmann]

At the moment, no problem

The following is a "heavy Wehrmacht towing vehicle" (Schwerer Wehrmachtsschlepper).

I have only included the base icon and mask with an additional pack of standard icons. File size restrictions.

Here is the brother to the 10 cm Houfnice vz.30, the 8 cm Kanon vz.30, in Slovak and German colours...

[guille1434]

Very nice icon, the Einheits_PKW! I like it very much... Thanks for sharing!

[Messmann]

Never mind!

I have not been able to deal with artillery so far, and I think something like the leIG 18 is a nice idea I would indeed welcome. But here is another German infantry icon.

I suggest to use it as light infantry, with slightly higher spotting and movement. (Jäger means "hunter" or something like "ranger", and this kind of infantry was supposed to fight in hill terrain.)

Bear in mind that the animation works well with the Wehrmacht infantry animation, but I suggest to replace the shot of the Wehrmacht inf upper left guy with some MP shot from the guy on the right. Edit: You might use the animation chart two posts below.

[Messmann]

Ok, the following is about new movement icons.

Bear in mind that you can create your own movement types by adding something to the movement file in the data folder. But when you do that, you do not have an appropriate icon for the "movement" folder. This means you won't be able to show yourself or the player what kind of new movement this unit has.

I was fumbling around a little and I am able to present new icons for the following:

car movement (for willy's jeep or for the kubelwagen, if you might)
boat movement ("swimboat")
amphibious movement ("swimcar")
"swimleg", I suggest to cross rivers easily
airplane on starting lane, possibly for the improvised airfield?
and
an "airplane" as a reserve.

Enjoy!

[Messmann]

As a further contribution, I figured out that I needed something like a big animation chart to change animations... I think it is still appropriate to offer it here.

There was already a small one floating around to help you with this. (I guess it was provided by VPaulus.) But there was none to deal with the actual animation files.

That means when you want to change actual animations you do not have the possibily to do so without knowing for sure that you do not mess things up. And many animations do not work with new units, so it is required to rename or change old ones. As a consequence, I put all the little ones together and generated a large one.

This is supposed to help you to change and create animations at your liking, without losing track of where to place gunshots and the like. Enjoy!

P.S.: As an example, I give you my animation chart for the Jager_Inf icon. It works, I have tested it.

[guille1434]

Very nice and useful sdditions Messmann!The animation chart is a "must have" if you are going to work with those files!
The movement info and icons are also very welcome!!

I already made an icon for the 7,5cm leIG 18, I just have to make the masks. Probably will upload it later today!

[Horst]

Messmann, your Jäger icons are not bad! I’m currently using a modified GebJg in green trousers as Jäger. In Africa, they wear the same trousers like the GebJg but brownish cap. Statswise, they have legged Movement 4 and are slightly cheaper than the GebJg as difference.

I’ve already tried to create new movement type icons too, but gave up. My additional types so far are all-wheel drive (between all-terrain and wheeled) and Tracked Bridge for bridging tanks, because my tracked tanks may not cross rivers otherwise.

Guille, 21-gun salute for you later!

[guille1434]

My pleasure Horst! After the regular icon (gun only) I also prepared crewmen in differet uniforms (SS, SE, desert, Fj, SE Fj) to make crewed variations of said unit. Stay tuned!

[guille1434]

As an answer to a request made by Horst, here is the 7,5 cm leIG 18 pack. No-crew version, in direct and indirect fire modes. Base icon and mask are included. Enjoy!


EDIT: Uploaded corrected unit pack, now with their shadows! Also, some semi-transparent rogue pixels cleaned...

[Horst]

Muitíssimo obrigado!

No shadows?

[guille1434]

Oops, shadows... The consequence of a late, or very early release (2 am, local time)... Please, wait for an update today, and thanks for the feedback!

[Messmann]

My additional types so far are all-wheel drive (between all-terrain and wheeled) and Tracked Bridge for bridging tanks, because my tracked tanks may not cross rivers otherwise.

I have used the car movement icon for all-wheel drive and motorcycles.

Edit: Thanks for the le IG 18 draft, I will surely use the completed icon in my mod.

[Anfield]

So many new goodies here, thanks to all that have added units!
