Steam Community :: More Generic Tank Icons (1.12)

sombertownDS 11 Jul @ 12:14am

love this mod and have been using for a few years now. but one gripe is it gives m3 lee/grant options for advanced mediums and not basic mediums which the m3 was

AGMKnight01 18 Jan @ 4:08pm

@LasagnaMan12 That's ok my friend, I just hope you keep updating the icons

bomb_oclottt 15 Jan @ 6:20pm

I totally understand but can you help me with something I want to play with any country but still have the German tanks icon can you help me with that

LasagnaMan12 [author] 15 Jan @ 5:43am

I don't have as much time on my hands anymore and I don't remember if I backed up the mod files when I changed computers, so we'll have to see

Also @AGMKnight01
Didn't see this before, but I don't have any knowledge on doing 3d models, so most likely not.

bomb_oclottt 14 Jan @ 10:37pm

can you add more icons cuz this is the only mod that works fr

AGMKnight01 10 Jun, 2024 @ 9:45am

ever gonna do sprites?

LasagnaMan12 [author] 23 Oct, 2023 @ 10:44am

It should still work fine as long as no other mods interfere, let me know if it doesn't!

Grabahan 21 Oct, 2023 @ 5:20am

When will it be updated 1.13?

LasagnaMan12 [author] 25 Aug, 2023 @ 9:55am

It should. If not, let me know!

Liberty Prime 6 Aug, 2023 @ 6:56am

this still works?

Emperor Palpatussy 23 Feb, 2023 @ 10:18pm

Hey, you are a fucking hero you know that?

LasagnaMan12 [author] 26 Jan, 2023 @ 4:10pm

There's a link below I provided that will give small countries more generic icons.

Dr. Quackers M.D. 26 Jan, 2023 @ 4:04pm

We need this for planes now to.

V.A.L. Commorby 22 Dec, 2022 @ 10:08pm

I really enjoy this mod. Thank you author!

LasagnaMan12 [author] 1 Dec, 2022 @ 11:12am

It isn't very likely at the moment, the process of finding 3rd party art, converting it to a file the game will accept, and then listing the actual artists is quite a bit of work (not to mention, as I've already proven, converting jpegs/pngs to .DDS does not work very well.) It's partly why I'm not continuing this mod.

vent sus 1 Dec, 2022 @ 11:02am

could you make your own generic plane icons mod with additional icons and not just the ones found in the game

LasagnaMan12 [author] 22 Nov, 2022 @ 10:41pm

Somebody actually made one recently here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2889187776 Basically all major power's plane icons are available as generic icons, or, that should be the case, I haven't played with it yet.

Mid-2000s Anime AMVs 22 Nov, 2022 @ 9:00pm

Definitely hope you find inspiration for that plane mod. This one adds a lot to the flavor of designing tanks and the Planes need help bad

LasagnaMan12 [author] 16 Oct, 2022 @ 8:34am

As of right now, I don't think there is I hate to say. The idea of making a mod for the plane designer is kinda floating around in my head, but it hasn't gotten me motivated enough to make one.

Hansag 16 Oct, 2022 @ 5:43am

Anyone know if there is something like this mod for planes?

LasagnaMan12 [author] 4 Oct, 2022 @ 4:09am

You'd have to mess with the mod files to move it back to 1.11. I won't be doing that at the moment.

DUUde 4 Oct, 2022 @ 1:17am

how play on 1.11?

Lock&Load98 1 Oct, 2022 @ 8:30am

Nice, thanks for the update!

LasagnaMan12 [author] 1 Oct, 2022 @ 7:46am

Actually, saying this now, this will NOT be compatible with 1.11 anymore due to file structures being rearranged

LasagnaMan12 [author] 1 Oct, 2022 @ 7:43am

Officially out. If anyone has trouble, say something and I'll be on it!

LasagnaMan12 [author] 1 Oct, 2022 @ 7:40am

I'll have an update out in a minute

LasagnaMan12 [author] 1 Oct, 2022 @ 7:39am

Yeah you right, I just goofed on the file placement lmao
Thanks for the tip

TheMuumio 1 Oct, 2022 @ 7:36am

Under 'gfx' -> 'interface' -> 'equipmentdesigner' to be precise. So the same folder org PDX is using.

TheMuumio 1 Oct, 2022 @ 7:24am

Yeah, I created a new folder for it in the mods files under the name 'graphic_db' and just threw it there.

LasagnaMan12 [author] 1 Oct, 2022 @ 7:22am

Wait, you just moved the file and that was it? That was the first thing I did and it didn't work.
Looks like I have to mess around with it again

LasagnaMan12 [author] 1 Oct, 2022 @ 7:21am

Oh I know where they moved it, the problem is the way the game finds and uses the icons now. It looks way simpler, but it's thrown me for a loop and, so far, my experiments with it haven't worked.

TheMuumio 1 Oct, 2022 @ 7:18am

I might have found the fix: Paradox moved the tank icon files under 'equipmentdesigner' -> 'graphic_db' folder, instead of the old location within the tanks folder. Threw your "lasagnas_00_tank_icons" file there and it seems to work after that.

LasagnaMan12 [author] 29 Sep, 2022 @ 9:22am

If for whatever reason I can't get an update pushed out, just saying it now, you're perfectly free to try and fix this yourself and make it a separate mod, as I may not be looking for ways to fix this all the time.

LasagnaMan12 [author] 29 Sep, 2022 @ 8:47am

Yeah bad news, looks like they completely messed up how the game finds the graphics files for the tank icons. It's completely different from the way it was before, which means I'm gonna have to experiment with the files to see what works and what doesn't, because I have very little experience with this sort of thing.

LasagnaMan12 [author] 29 Sep, 2022 @ 8:31am

Ok looks like I've found it, thank god. Gonna run some tests to make sure the changes work.

LasagnaMan12 [author] 29 Sep, 2022 @ 8:16am

It looks the newest update moved the "00_tank_icons" file which is needed to load the icons into the game, so I'll have to find its new directory. Hopefully, this is just a simple fix; if not, it may take a few days to push out an update.

LasagnaMan12 [author] 29 Sep, 2022 @ 8:07am

The mod seems to be outdated, as for why, I'm not sure. It's something I'll need to tinker with.

NovaPablo 29 Sep, 2022 @ 6:55am

With the latest DLC I don't get the icons. Is this my problem [not sure if anyone else has this problem] or does the mod need to be updated?

lakupupu 20 Aug, 2022 @ 10:55am

epic

LasagnaMan12 [author] 28 May, 2022 @ 2:07pm

Very cool, hope you can enjoy

EpicBlitzkrieg87 28 May, 2022 @ 1:23pm

Thanks! That's awesome. I do have NSB.

LasagnaMan12 [author] 28 May, 2022 @ 10:54am

This mod has new icons for main battle tanks and super heavy tanks! You will need No Step Back DLC, however, because this is for the tank designer.

EpicBlitzkrieg87 28 May, 2022 @ 3:46am

I haven't tried the mod yet so I don't know: if this one doesn't have tank icons for generic modern tanks could you make a mod for that? The one and only vanilla icon for modern tanks is missing the turret and it's ugly

LasagnaMan12 [author] 19 Mar, 2022 @ 11:06am

Unfortunately I don't have the experience in that area, so it wouldn't be something I could do yet

dragonsnot2008 19 Mar, 2022 @ 11:03am

can you also add new generic tank models that are copied from America or a other major nation because i sick of seeing the old ugly generic tank model.

BLAZEPK 25 Feb, 2022 @ 4:00pm

Great job

LasagnaMan12 [author] 20 Feb, 2022 @ 9:36pm

New update: Char 2C has been added as a sprite for the GW Heavy Hull

LasagnaMan12 [author] 17 Feb, 2022 @ 3:13pm

It'd be difficult but doable I think. Issue is, it'd be replacing the normal icons.

mazkas 17 Feb, 2022 @ 2:55pm

wish this was ironman

LasagnaMan12 [author] 17 Feb, 2022 @ 11:00am

Found and added a few halftrack armored cars. I'll clean up the code next.
