Tokiedian Objective Flag Roundel Mod
 

This mod aims for the MBT version of Cross Objective Flag Roundel MoD. As a beginning, I made v0.01, making use of Cross's resource. I'll go ahead with the project.

Re: Tokiedian Objective Flag Roundel Mod
 

I like the roundels that you have done so far, but for me they are not displaying centered in the hex. They are in the lower right hand corner.

Re: Tokiedian Objective Flag Roundel Mod
 

I hope I am not treading on any toes here...

I had a spare moment so added approx. 25 more objective icons to Tokiedian's version. (Including "low Vis" USMC, Iran, Portugal, Austria, Brazil, East Germany, Russia, etc)

If no one else (Void1984? Tokiedian?) completes this I will probably work my way through it in spare moments.

The Icons have where possible been edited from objective flags / Cross's roundels so should all be in the correct palette.

I have used "SP Fix" to "center" all the roundel type ones so this should now not be a problem.

Any suggestions, errors, queries pls feel free to ask, and If someone is still working on this sorry - let me know and I will stop.

Roundel Objective Markers v1.0

This mod consists of 2 .shp files which change the current objective flags to "roundels" (usually based on that nations air force roundel). These allow more of the covered terrain to be seen.

To Use: simply extract the files and copy them into the ...\Shrapnel Games\The Camo Workshop\WinSPMBT\Game Data\Graphics directory replacing the existing files.

There is also a .txt file with some notes about the choices i have made.

Please be aware of the standard warning:
"This mod contains highly altered or additional files that may or will cause interference with the master game files and it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that this mod be installed and played ONLY in a separate copy of the game and NOT run from the master game"

Some of the icons still require a little work, generally to remove blockyness.

Please Note: that I have NOT checked all the icons in game yet. Please let me know of any needed changes, etc.

Enjoy

Re: Tokiedian Objective Flag Roundel Mod
 

Surprised at the lack of enthusiasm for this - I thought people wanted it...

Let me know if it is worth me redoing for new version (add georgia, etc)

Re: Tokiedian Objective Flag Roundel Mod
 

No doubt that I will use it.
Light years better than the stock flags.

Re: Tokiedian Objective Flag Roundel Mod
 

Working on new version - Georgia, Chad, etc added. A couple tidied up. Just need to transfer into new files (new version seems to have all countries in one 133 image .shp file)

Did any of you that downloaded it have any comments, problems or suggestions?

Re: Tokiedian Objective Flag Roundel Mod
 

I thought this mod was interesting. The farther out I zoom, the harder the roundels are to see as compared to the usual victory flags, but at zoomed in levels it isn't too bad. I'm playing a Polish vs France/Netherlands/ Denmark campaign, and I've been able to see all the roundels easily, they contrast nicely with the backgrounds. But just playing around with various scenarios, some roundels can really blend in with the backgrounds, like the USA/USMC and Soviet Union for example. Probably the uniform color and maybe because they are a bit dark? But since Don and Andy refuse to retire and keep patching this game so I will continue to play it, the roundels do give it a bit of a new look :D

Re: Tokiedian Objective Flag Roundel Mod
 

Thanks Steves!

Yeah at zoomed out levels they are harder to see cos they are smaller (so that more is visible in the hex under them - the reason the WWII ones were done in the first place).

Yes some of the darker, one colour ones are less easy to see, I'm open to suggestions. I did try putting a white band around them all to make them stand out a bit more but thought it looked awful.

I have a small daughter and unfortunately no time for the game.

Re: Tokiedian Objective Flag Roundel Mod
 

Feedback greatly appreciated folks!

Re: Tokiedian Objective Flag Roundel Mod
 

I just noticed something with the Italian roundel. I was playing a random created scenario, and the Italian roundel appears to have about 25% of a another roundel attached to the bottom of it. This other roundel looks like an outer red border with a white inner circle? I can't see much of the other roundel, but it is noticeable. Not a big deal, just thought I would mention it.

Thanks again for working on this mod!

Re: Tokiedian Objective Flag Roundel Mod
 

Thanks Steve!

will check when I return home in 3 weeks and get a new version up.

Re: Tokiedian Objective Flag Roundel Mod
 

I have done some quick testing:
- strange problem with Italy, as you described - sorry that was easily sorted
- Found half of 2 roundels seems to dissappear (hungary and norway) - having problems sorting, will have to redo them

Just got home from a month long road trip so give me a couple of days to get a new version up

Re: Tokiedian Objective Flag Roundel Mod
 

I still need to check this with the new version (v10 2016).

If anyone has added this into new patch pls let me know how it goes, ty.

Re: Tokiedian Objective Flag Roundel Mod
 

Will check the mod with the 2017 (V11) patch soon - If anyone spots any problems please let me know, thanks.

Re: Tokiedian Objective Flag Roundel Mod
 

I just had a quick battle using Italy (as I am there currently sightseeing and visiting some WWII battlefields / cemeteries :) ) Vs Hungary and had an issue where the Hungarian roundel appeared incomplete.

Anyone else had issues with this?

(cant check on home PC till i get home in mid-May, on borrowed lappy)

Re: Tokiedian Objective Flag Roundel Mod
 

Just noticed this post, so I went into one of my save Italian campaign games and I do see that maybe 10% of the roundel shows up. I tried it with a brand new game and see that same thing. I've attached a screenshot of what I see on my computer.

While looking at the Hungarian issue, I also noticed the Italian roundel seems to have lost it's centering, it has slid to the bottom right postion. I've also attached a screenshot of this for you.

Thanks again for creating this mod, I do enjoy playing with it.

Re: Tokiedian Objective Flag Roundel Mod
 

Thanks Steve,

Will try to get a fix up over the weekend (home now) - although the Hungarian ones in your screen shot look better than what I was seeing whilst away!

Watch this space...

UPDATED for Version 11.01! :)

"bug" fixes to Italy and Hungary AGAIN! (thanks to Steves308 for some playtesting)

(I have completely redone the Hungarian roundel using the 90-91 version as the great looking "flying triangle" just refuses to show up properly even after I redrew it several times?!?!?!)

Please, as always, let me know of any needed changes, problems, suggestions, etc.

Re: Tokiedian Objective Flag Roundel Mod
 

Finally got off my new motorcycle long enough to fire the game up with your updated mod. The roundels for both Italy and Hungary look good now, centered in the hex with no parts missing!

Thanks for this mod!

Re: Tokiedian Objective Flag Roundel Mod
 

Again, No official changes to any of the flag/objective files - so these will still work! :)

Re: Tokiedian Objective Flag Roundel Mod
 

Currently checking compatibility with V13 (2019) patch, I don't believe there are any issues.

Re: Tokiedian Objective Flag Roundel Mod
 

No Official changes to MBT's ID Flag or Objective Files and my testing shows we are all good.

Current version (v2.0) [post #22 above] still WORKS with V13 (2019) patch.

Re: Tokiedian Objective Flag Roundel Mod
 

Update 03/Apr/20:
No Official changes to MBT's ID Flag or Objective Files and my testing shows we are all good.

Current version (v2.0) [post #22 above] still WORKS with V14 (2020) patch.
:):):)

Re: Tokiedian Objective Flag Roundel Mod
 

Sorry folks not yet had chance to update my game with 2021 patch - I will, obviously, check and let you know when I can.


Anyone had any issues / can confirm we are good?
