IEGIP - Icons for HoI DD in "SKIF-style" comeplements for SKIF

[Van der Gent]

IEGIP - IndoEsia Gent Icon Project

Hello everyone!

I guess almost all of you know of(and probably most of you use them as well) the famous SKIF. (SKIF Thread)

I and IndoEsia45 started a little project. We wanted to make new icon sets to complement those already existing. I guess just like me, most of you have always wanted nice icons for every nation. But making icons take time, so the SKIF-team themselves haven't been able to fullfill this wish of ours.
So me and IndoEsia decided to have a go for it!

Finished icon sets are(in no particular order):

Sweden
Denmark
Norway
Tibet

Our team now consist of:

IndoEsia45
LeonidOst
Prinz Wilhelm

(Yes.. A change of name is needed. I shall see if I can think something up)

All comments, suggestions and help from the community is welcomed.
Remember we work really hard on our spare time to make icons for you, you could at least encourage us a bit!

[Van der Gent]

I am not doing anything HOI related anymore, but you can still take the icons I have converted for your project.

The two mexican icons made by Wilhelm are also perfectly usable.
And, again, my Latin America generic set:

I looked through it and it is pretty much ok. I've double checked all of the offcial scenarios and the icons I've added are good for all the ships Colombia, Peru and Chile have (as well as for most other LA countries, who have no ships).

This is the way I have done it

Also we want your suggestion to improve our project.

[Gen. Skobelev]

Great! I love the SKIF and getting more countries covered is always nice.

Suggestion: some of those models could maybe use a bit more something in the background.

[The Great Duck]

Looks good.If you have time,maybe you could do something for mods (1914,CW,Eurogeddon when its released),since I cant really play on the vanilla icons.I wish you luck.
PS Is there a tutorial somewhere on making SKIF style icons?

[Van der Gent]

I'm afraid there isn't. But it's quite easy when you try. At least I thought so.

[Narakir]

Great Work. Seems we'll be finally able to play the Ottoman Empire and Austria-Hungary with decent units cards.

I have tutorial but in polish language

[Randwyck]

Good, but a bit too bleak and blurry for my taste.

[IndoEsia45]

Can you gives us suggestion how to sharpen the images to suite your taste ?

Well, you don't really have to tailor your own mod to my personal taste.
But that's what I'd do (to the leaft - your version, to the right - mine):

First kudos to the two of you doing more icons, some very nice stuff here

Second, I wrote something which may interest you here:

Maybe it helps you.

[General_Grant]

All that is very nice, good job!

I'd be very interested to include your work into my mod, wich include Austria-Hungary and the Ottomans. I tried to make icons for them (despite having no graphic programs but only paint), but your work is even better.

If you are interested into having an Austrian naval icon set...


They are just German naval icons than got their flag changed, but if you want them just ask.


Next I think you should make a Greek set, and then a Swedish one...

[Van der Gent]

I have started on a swedish set. Although I've only made 3 icons so far. I'm mostly working with finishing the Austrian and Danish so we can release them.

The problems with a greek set is pictures. I only have 3 good pictures. Guess I'll have to colourize som b&w ones.

I'd be very interested in adding that Austrian navy set. I actually am in the middle of a game with a nice litt austrian navy and they'd be perfect for me.

I myself tried to do an Austrian BBI icon:

[IndoEsia45]

Hey General Grant, do you have some Ottoman stuff that you can share with me to complete my Ottoman-Turkish set ?

I need some new pics now.

[Van der Gent]

IndoEsia, I have sent you some Turkish pictures.

All ww1(except one), but I think most of them are quite usefull! Thank you Snajper06 for giving some of them to me.

[IndoEsia45]

Thanks Van !!

Edit: the mail that you sent doesn't contain any picture or attach ??

The infantryman from the cyprus invasion I thought could be used as 47 and 51 model.
