Iran Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 I'd like to include a cameo for every unit that is unbuildable. I was thinking of: -A generic background -And some text at the bottom of the cameo, like every normal cameo has Anyone up for making them? They're needed for mods that make these units buildable, the sidebar glitches graphically because these units dont have a cameo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen262 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I could use the old TS XXicon and add some text to it for each thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iran Posted April 15, 2013 Author Share Posted April 15, 2013 Doesn't fit the RA1 cameo style sadly :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyerguds Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 It's also fugly as hell Would that be a separate icon for the buildings and units? Or just one for all? I'd say, take a background with the "FAKE" banner over it, only with "NO ICON" instead of "FAKE". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkVen9109 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Well we can't just leave it be. We have to find something to make use of for blank cameos. :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen262 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 How about ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkVen9109 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Works for me. But how would the filename be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyerguds Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Umm... that's Iran's problem, DarkVen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkVen9109 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I know that Nyer but the missing cameo icon is the one I'm referring to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iran Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 Could you add the text "GRNL" at the bottom like with normal cameos, Allen262? I'm not sure how well it'll look in-game, so after that's added we can see. Nice start though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen262 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 The icon is from ra.afraid.org and used on the info pages for CS and AF. I'll change the background blue to remap yellow. Yes I have the needed things to add text to icons. Also ra.afraid.org may have some icon in the may mods it has listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyerguds Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Could you add the text "GRNL" at the bottom like with normal cameos, Allen262? I don't see the use of adding the internal code to the ingame icon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen262 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I wouldn't use internal code name on the ingame icon anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iran Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 Because it helps identifying the unit.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Harisson made some empty backgrounds for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 He also created alternative wide-screen resolution cameos which come with EVA-style placeholder icons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyerguds Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 wide-screen resolution cameos? Those are just a lazy cutoff of the darkened bottom part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen262 Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Iran I would use the full name of the unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iran Posted April 19, 2013 Author Share Posted April 19, 2013 But the unit is never named "General', it's either named Stavros or Volkov. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen262 Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 General is the name used in the conquer.eng. Stavros and/or Volkov are done by Name= in the map it self. Name= was made for CS as before that [GRNL] was only used of Allied 9s misions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Who made the icons for http://cnc.wikia.com/wiki/Giant_Ants#The_Ants? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen262 Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Not a icon but a screen shot of the Ant Into Video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyerguds Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Yeah... they just recoloured it a bit for the different ant types. On a related note, in the missions themselves, the different ant colours are actually simply done by assigning the full-remap ant to different houses.

Allen262 Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Here are the "No Icon" icons for all of the Inftray. [EINSTEIN] and [DELPHI] are not working in game but all of the other are. Inftray_No_Icons.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyerguds Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Did you try calling them EINSICON.SHP and DELPICON.SHP? IIRC the game cuts it off after 4 characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
