    Well this looks interesting. Are these open to modders to use? Cus these or a pack of the source images would be quite a nice resource to have on hand. Good work on these.

    Hey cute puppy,

    thx for the nice work.

    Though there is one think to be mentioned: Falschirmjagers did not normally wear the Edelweiss - it was the insignia of the Gebirgsjagers. Later during the war, when Gebirgsjager-Division got transformed into SS-Divisions, due to their high fighting power, those SS-Troopers were still wearing their Edelweiss to indiciate their origin.

    But, it is not known that Falschirmjagers did do it as well.

    Don't get me wrong: I love your work. But its historically incorrect.

    thank u for telling me about that.
    i thought i seen german paratrooper had an edelweiss on his clothes at "band of brothers".

    how about this symbol for fallschirmjager, is it historically correct?

    Hey puppy,

    nvm. Since I'd really like to enjoy your icons for my Waffen SS... uh.. Panzer Elite... I'm glad to help to get them hitorically acurate.

    And, YES, the last symbol you use is perfect. It represents the so-called Fallschirmschützenabzeichen, and it is granted for absolving six training jumps, similar to the parachutist badge of the us army.

    In regard to Band of Brothers: THE EDELWEISS CONUNDRUM.

    Thx for the dedication & Cheers,
    Hans

    Hmm, I don't really like the Wehrmacht ones, the eagle just not looks right IMO.

    Just saw the Heer ones, and i like, i like.

    A lot of these would be useful as a modding resource for modders, i know some like the Grenade and bundled grenade symbols would be incredibly useful, i failed at making some for upgrades some time ago.

    Can I use the Wehrmacht ones for PE? Yes I can change the files to the required PE ones, however, I notice you haven't included a file for each with symbol or portrait in the filename as you have with the PE icons or the old Wehrmacht ones. Do I need this file or how does it work?

    I would like to use your new volks symbol for my Assault Heavy Infantry symbol. Maybe you might like to create a more appropriate symbol?

    Cheers

    yes people can use these if they give it a credit.

    @majorWAA

    you can use the heer ones for PE, if you change their name.
    you can check each files name at my 1st post.
    or do you use corsix? you can see files by corsix too.

    Hey puppy,

    like i said before, luv your work.

    Though I also enjoy the Totenkopf-Icon for the PE-Infantry, it's kinda big and overlays the number. It also gives my infantry a slight touch of a rogue pirate squad fighting on a personal vendetta mission.

    I know that the TOtenkopf-Division used this Insignia but i think it would make the SS more generic if you could use the SS symbol (the runes) as the icon for the standard infantry.

    If you find time and the will to do that, I'd really appreciate it.

    Best,
    Hans

    I just downloaded all 4 files from the Alternate links posted in the first post fine. Does your browser have a problem with Mediafire?

    These are nice Iam using them now good work..I do have a question about icons I tried to make one but Iam having problems getting it to show up in game I started with converting unit_axis_grenadier_symbol rgt to dds then using Paint.net and converting them back to DXT5 with no mip maps then with corsix changing it back to rgt but I get pink red box over the grenadiers ..
    Not sure what im doing wrong I tired to search for topics on this but found few on working with UI or icons.

    Again problems.

    Your steps are fully correct.

    You need to know, that for example, an icon for any soldier consits really of three icons, the symbol (symbol/unit_axis_grenadier_symbol.rgt), the portrait (portraits\unit_axis_grenadier_portrait.rgt) and the unit icon itself (units\unit_axis_grenadier.rgt). So for a new unit you need all three. The name of this icon in the ebps and sbps file (ui_ext and squad_ui_ext) has to be only "unit\unit_axis_grenadier". The suffix "_symbol" and "_portrait" and their foldernames are used implizit by the engine. Also you don't have to add any file extension to this name or the icon can't be found. That's maybe your problem. A pink icon means, file not found.

    In the standard the axis grenadier (ebps) uses in ui_ext "axis_icons\wehrmacht_grenadier.tga". I don't know where this icon really comes from, because this path and file name doesn't exist. So if you change it, make sure you correct this path and filename to your new one. The squad file (sbps) uses the correct filename and location.

    Which file you have changed and which name is used in the ebps and sbps of this squad/unit? It may also be, that you made something wrong, but as I said before, a pink icon means "file not found" (your icon can't be found). It may also be you have a typo in the filename.

  29. #29
    Ok I tried a test to see if there was a problem with conversion I pulled the grenadier and ran it in to my art program but made no adjustments and then converted it back to rgt and it works ,so it has to be that Iam leaving out a step when I change the icon maybe there is a place I have to put the icon more then just the grenadier rgt...
