The Tripartite images are great Titan! They would certainly be a nice addition to CORE
Well I'm hardly 'the boss', but am downloading your pack at this very minute.
Thank you! (and, Hagar: as Tegetthoff correctly says, you're "the boss" from a GFX point of view
)
As to the Tripartite pack, it has some great stuff (sound effects, for one). But so far I'm not sold regarding the color terrain imagery. The main quirk is that they are 'modern' shots, rather than pre-1953 vintage. So they are pretty much generic, lacking modern features, to keep them usable. (...)
Well, you know, I didn't care to mod every graphical side of the game - I rather focused on the elements I thought were more important (just like the terrain and political map colors). Nothing forbids me to take a look at other gfxs, though. Feel free to ask, I'll see what I can do.
What I liked is the basic choice of colours for countries and terrain features (hills, plains, urban) etc.
I also like the AA icon
Regarding icons, we cannot move away from the NATO counters, that´s very "deep" CORE philosophy.
But the ship counters are just great and since ours are generic anyway, that would be something to add
Regarding aircraft - I like what is in there but I am unsure wether it collides with out unit philosophy.
Thank you very much, Tegetthoff (as a matter of fact, the AA icon on map - not the one in the prov screen, which is mine - has been done by someone else; I liked it very much too, though, and decided to put it into my mod).
Re: icons, unfortunately I know my land models are unusable (apart from your mod's philosophy) because they aren't updated to CORE's light/heavy division system. I could mod them in the future, though, if people should show interest in that.
Besides, along with the naval counters can I kindly suggest you to use my improved land counters too? IMHO they do a good job in helping the player spot on map his most important units (tanks, HQs etc.) at a glance
(given you're really referring to "counters", since I'm now thinking that maybe you were referring to naval icons).
Aircraft icons are the part of the mod that took me by far the longest time to make and which I'm more proud of
(298 different model icons - except 4 - all done by me). It would be really cool if you'd implement them in CORE.
Those do look pretty good, I must say. Do like the Kharkov shot as well, for one.
Thank you very much too, Hagar (and, re: the Kharkov shot, it took me some patience to find it. Google didn't provide appropriate WW2-era pictures for the city, so I had to scout for a magazine with good ones, which I eventually managed to find).
