Counter and Flags question

[unmerged(6093)]

I´m wondering if I can use the counter packs from HoI in HoI 2? And would it be Difficult to turn CK CoA´s into HoI2 flags & shields?

I have successfully used my old HOI flags and icons with HOI2. I simply copied and pasted them to the appropriate folders for HOI2.

Good

And the counters are exactly the same as the HoI1 counters, so they're convertable as well. You don't even need to modify that counter direction file...

But in HoI2 there are more types of counters, like garrison, light tanks, interceptors......

That doesn't matter. The counter_xxx.bmp (where xxx is the country tag) file works as a standard template. The counter_strip file fits the unit marker into that standard template (whether it's infantry, a CL, or an interceptor). Really quite nice and elegant.

I refer to that you cannot change the new one counter_strip.bmp by the old one.

Oh, right. But you can swap out any counter_xxx file for one from the old HoI.

Excellent.

I have tried using counters but they won't work in-game. No matter what I do it always defaults to the original counter even if the counter .bmp is new!?!

Please help?

I have the same problem, can anybody solve it? If files were changed what files are responsible for national counters then?

Thanks in advance!

PS. I know that it's a little old topic, but I think it's better to stay here than start a new one.

Same problem here. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do this (and have been puzzling after it for about 3 hours now!)
