CORE compatible SKIF icons

[kazoo]

Hi, I've been playing Hearts of Iron for quite a while even though I never registered for the Paradox Forum until now. I've always enjoyed playing with the wonderful icons made by the SKIF team http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?t=236771, and when I discovered the CORE mod a year ago I made changes to their icons (for my own use) to make them compatible with the CORE mod, and also made a couple of icons of my own, to fill some of the gaps that occured due to the different models.csv-file for CORE and the one they provide for the SKIF-icons.

Generic set: http://www.megaupload.com/se/?d=UW97JFF4

Germany: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=P168K8K7

USA: http://www.megaupload.com/se/?d=370P80SK

Soviet Union: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=LUO9MKZK

United Kingdom: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=HFWDYQLD

All other nations covered by SKIF except for some spanish icons: http://www.megaupload.com/se/?d=PRXKN8GD

Much credit to Kristoff, Scytth and BeBro of the SKIF team for these wonderful icons, I merely changed the filenames and the model designation in the top left corner, when needed. And as mentioned, added a few icons of my own. Also Sensemann has made many icons for the majors, which I've also added. Thanks to all of you!

Would you mind doing a generic set for the rest?

Why don't you put them all in one file? And why did you actually made it, as I have already made a conversion for CORE for every major nation (although navy and air are missing for the most indeed). Some of your 'self-made' icons are undoubtly the same ones I made.

I didn't mean the ones you've uploaded, I've added some others too, for example in the english set. I must have put your icons there sometime in the past and forgot about it, sorry. I could remove them if you want and yes, I could put them all in one file. And I made them for many smaller nations too. Once again, sorry, I'll remove your icons.

You don't have to, I've got no problem with it if you mention that I've made them. If the other icons are good (didn't have a closer look, yet), I could save me a lot of time by just using them.

Allright cool, I'll give you credit too Some of them are okay, mostly I just adapted the SKIF icons using the same symbology I believe you came up with a time ago.

I will just add that I am making my own set - JAP, POL, HUN, ROM - possibly others as long as I enjoy adding something.

It is based on currently tested Beta Release Candidate.


I am trying to assign icons to specific models too.

 

[kazoo]

Nice, I have those countries somewhat covered but for the 0.3.2 version of CORE

 

[kazoo]

There, added the links to the majors sets again and added a link to a set that contains all nations covered by SKIF with the exception of a few spansh icons.

[kazoo]

Fixed the link.

can anyone explain to me how to use these modelpics ? i copied all of them to the gfx/interface/models folder but i only get the generic ingame


EDIT : nm, got it to work

 

[Dark Scipio]

Big thank you.

 

[Dark Scipio]

If installed all of it, but strangly as germany I get the generic pictures for Mountaineers and Reserve. Anybody knows why?

 

[Kelvin]

Not me.

I had other problems, with tanks for ger, inf for rus etc. (blinking while moving in certain directions).

 

[Loerst]

With v0.4 out my first step to install it and get again those SKIF icons, because I can't play with those boxes. I downloaded last file, however I'm having problems. Where should I put those files?

 

[bpscool]

GFX folder inside CORE then Interface then models just copy them onto there...

These Icons are really great! Well done!

Downloading Skifs

I'm not sure if I downloaded the Skifs in the right folders.
I followed your directions but when I looked at the C.O.R.E. file tree, I found the following structure of the GFX tree.

Under gfx, there were:

event_pics
gfx
interface
map
palette

Under gfx\gfx there was interface\models with a 41.2 mb model file.

In the gfx\interface path, there was also a models file with a 165 mb file. Did I do something wrong or is this the right configuration?

 

[mr.sorge]

well I found the solution,
nm.

SKIF icons have to be in the usual plain hoi2 dir -> /gfx/interface/models/
and
in the moddir of CORE -> mod-CORE2/gfx/interface/models/

now I get all the specific icons I copied there
