New counters mod (boardgame style)

Post by damastabongo »

Hi everybody,

As a great fan of old style boargames, i'm working on a graphical mode for the game. The objective is to make me feel like playing good old boargames (such "World in Flames" or "Third Reich") on my computer. This is for now a work in progress, but the finished mod well be available soon...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can download this mod here : http://wargameinfrance.free.fr/ww2tow.php

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

some exemples :

Image German armored division tech level 3

Image German armored division tech level 4

Image German motorized corps tech level 3

Image Polish armored division tech level 1

Image German infantry division tech level 4

Image French armored corps tech level 2

Image French motorized corps tech level 3

Image French armored division tech level 1

Image French tactical bomber tech level 3

My work is based on the EXCELLENT job doing by Volcano with the Volcano's Mods (for the "HPS series" available on Volcano mods).

Each nation (even the minor) have a different colour. For each nation there is different drawing between Corps and Division for each tech level and for all type of counter (infantry, armor, motorized, fighter, tactical and strategic bombers...). The tech level is indicated by the number in the yellow ring.

More pictures to come...

Thank you,

As i said before, almost all work are not mine but a transformation of the Volcano Mods.
Respect to his work.

Ah, un compatriote...
J'ai soigné les unités françaises, françaises libres et de Vichy, déjà que le jeu original permet ces 3 nuances...

beautifull ( "ho la la , dieu que c'est beau !! " , en francais dans le texte )
 
can I make 2-3 remarks ?
 
I would prefer to have the same colors between div and corps and I like the "classic" NATO symbols XX and XXX instead of the complete words ...
another one : could you try a version fully filled in color, instead of the white horizontal part ?
and the size seems too large , no ?

What kind of counter do you prefer ?

Image without blank plate

Image ala "Panzer Blitz"

Image with blank

Image with darker color for corps (and lighter for division) and complete text


Let me know.

if there is a majority of people for a specific style, i can redo this (ther is a huge number of counter to made).

For moment i'm almost finished for all nations with the last kind of counter, but because i'm working with multiple layers on Photoshop it's relatively easy to made another style.

I think the combination of dark/light color makes it much easier on the eyes.

hey damastabango , S35 counters were not included in PzBlitz, neither in PzLeader , but included in an add-on of "the general" !! [8D]
for my part , I prefer your first proposition , and with no colour difference between corps and divs [8|]
well, you are the chief stylist ... do your best [:)]

Great job on those counters, if you have any technical questions about making skins and how they works, I'm here to help [;)]

No, congratulations for YOUR job, You have made a real great game because i think you developed it as such boardgame geeks like me can mod it easely.
It's a very great idea to code everything in .csv files and .png files.
The only thing missing for me it's a map editor and a scenario editor and this game will be a dream...

I'm very interresting by the sequel you're developping (the pacific theatre of operation). I hope you will create a third world war game (NATO vs Warsaw Pact in the eighties) with this engine.
That will be a must.

P.S. (1) : I don't want to be offensive against Poland in my last post (i think you're maybe polish). It's just i don't see how Poland can resit to Germany more than few turns in this game [;)]

P.S. (2) : sorry for my poor english, its not my native language.

My neither, and I'm sure there are a lot of mistakes in my posts, I just hope that other users understand me [8|]

OK, enough of this offtop, keep up good mod work.

I have held Poland against the AI nearly till March 1940. The Germans can be distracted, and they do not do well on establishing a siege of Warsaw. If you can just get by the first rush it can be done.
