OK, so I just started a beta game of CORE 0.60 and after the initial confusion goes away I think I will love the mod! But, I sorely miss your graphics Titan... The vanilla unit graphics don't really do it for me. I know this is a question which has been raised previously, but is there a way of porting your mod to CORE? I read in the CORE mod description that you guys have already worked together?
Well, apart from thanking you very much for the appreciation for my mod, I can't tell you anything more my spokesman hasn't already explained you
.
You're right, the CORE team has included some of my graphics to their mod - but that's just some interface elements. Unfortunately, as Hister wrote, converting the icons would take
a lot of time since one would have to edit them one by one, and we're talking about several hundreds, if not thousands, of them (
I've never checked in detail how many of them - i.e. the model names - differ between vanilla AoD and CORE).
So, for the time being, you'll have to live with it... I could do the work, someday, but since it would be such a grand enterprise I'd need to be very motivated (and to have some serious spare time to devote to that).
As for counters I've attached them below (were made especially for CORE latest version by Titan).
Ah, by the way, I've noticed from your AAR screenshots, Hister, that the counters I've done for CORE are slightly off-centered (the unit size symbols on the left are partially covered). I might rework the file, provided you or Uandwhosearmy are bothered by that
.
I think you are confusing the issue. Its quite simple. You changed the order of the units in your mod. Other mods that rely on default ordering wont work with your mod because of this. Thus if I use your mod unaltered I cant use any other mod with it.
Its your prerogative to do whatever you want with your mod. But you should perhaps mention that you have changed the order of the units and that other mods wont work because of this. For your information I do use JSGME and I have altered your mod accordingly to work with SKIF. Other people might not be so knowledgeable.
My original post was just highlighting what someone might want to do to your mod in order to get SKIF etc to work with it ie delete the model.csv file in your mod. I am not taking anything away from your mod by mentioning this, neither am I trying to be insulting or derogative. I am just mentioning what I have found by my own experience.
Just because you have spent ages doing a mod and adding icons doesn't mean everyone is going to want tom use them. I personally prefer SKIF icons and Bebro sprites in addition to your mod.
BUT I think all modders are gods for what they do, because I know I couldn't be bothered to do what they do what you lot do. And what you do makes my gaming more enjoyable. I am therefore very grateful for what you guys do.
Ok, I get your point. The fact, however, is simply that you're the first person who complained about this and - more importantly - it's not that other mods would "not work" after installing mine. There would be some 10 aircraft names differing from vanilla, a thing which almost no one would care about or, probably, even notice.
What you write is basically true, but you're making it like a gigantic problem, while it is not - especially when thinking that my aircraft setup is more accurate than vanilla's one. By the way, I stress again that German Int/Fig chain has not been changed (not before jets, at least), so I'm still asking myself where did you see Bf109s "all around" instead of Fw190s in 1944 after installing the TP. Last but not least, in the installation instructions in the readme file I warn the users to make a backup of their files beforehand, just in case they'd like to go back to the defaults.
I also wonder if you've reproved SKIF for displaying Stukas like biplanes... this is a "violation" of vanilla as well, isn't it...?
Bottom line, I never stated that everyone should use my mod. Everyone's free to do as he wishes. It's just that reading that Hurricanes should be interceptors only because you saw them in an AoD scenario was simply bizarre, so to speak.
