Player icon mods: wants

JaM · #1 July 8th, 2005, 03:48 AM

I forgot one icon! It will be nice to have Abrams with TUSK upgrade (grill armor in the rear, ERA at the sides, etc...)

Nothing undoable... except possibly that awful black slat pack under the engine exhaust. Slat is a bugger to figure, since it is mostly vertical.

Should give it a try, the thing will look like a Magach-Abrams Frankenstein tank!

Oh, and 3-tone center-europe camo version as well...

Err, Laurent, do you mean Panzer or pachyderm?

cheers

He means pachyderm...

Yeah, I know, but that's for his Vietnam mod. Quite like the cavalry units really, only when you don't have horses you make do of elephants ro water buffaloes...

I was hoping someone would eventually quickly hack an actual ACH-47A icon, and perhaps a UH-1B/C gunship icon without the M5 nose turret, since none of the units in game actually have the AGL fitted (though I did make some that did). Also, an Australian Bushranger with the dual support assemblies would be nice.

nothing about the LBM and really didn't read the older threads about this since I just got interested in doing something with doing something with the OOB's and Icons with the new release.

1. what format are they?
2. can you import from Photoshop( witch I know) to make a LBM? If not, what can you mport from?
3.I think there is a program in WINSPMBT to do them right or wrong?
4. can you make a color LBM?

I want to start with making a M-60 blade tank and a M-88 to start with.

Oh, I just can't refrain from posting a wishlist...

Not sure wether the 1410/1411 are CV90 or Warrior...
If Warrior the CV has been exported enough to warrant their own icons by now I'd think.

All in both winter/summer camo anyway.

Leopard 2A4/strv121 with mineplow (1416)
Leo 2A5/strv122 with mineplow (2255)
CV9040 and CV9040C
AMOS on a CV90 hull
CV90120-T?
CV90 SPAA (lvkv90 w radar dome)
CV90 engineering vehicle (bgbv 90)
Archer 08 SPA
CB90H/HS
CB90E

Here it comes!

Sorry, I know I have promised a center-europe camoed variant, but after much reflection (2, 3 sec or so

) I decided it was much bother for a non-existing thing altogether.
Now if someoneabsolutely craves for it or it appears it could come up IRL any time, just pass on the info, I'll add it here. Or edit it yourself, for what it takes...

This one is a shortly crash-built version with the various TUSK elements (ERA, slat pack, armored MG post, OHWS) added on the existing desert-tan Abrams A2, which is largely good enough as is.
Could have posted it a week ago, were it not for the reflection over EURCENT camo or not...

Just thought I would have a go at modifying some .shp files. It has been a whilce since I have done this, but.

I checked that the right pallette was loaded, imported a 24 bit bmp file, converted, but when I went to find bignew.shp, it was not there. I did a check with Find, and nothing....

However, I seem to have made a new .shp file, entitled newshp.shp, which contains only one image, the one I uploaded, but the pallette seems to be inverted. All I can say is WTF....

Any advice?

cheers

Luke the perplexed.

Luke,

First of all, where have you been loking for your bignew.shp?

Whatever you do, it should be in the same folder where the original .shp stays, no matter where you have loaded your images from.

I also stumbled on the newshp.shp recently (in the image folder), dunno the purpose of it, or if it is a side effect of the shp conversion.

All I can tell you for now!
