BullGod's Unit Icons(Heroes + Otomo DLC update) + Invisible Battle HUD

[yobi_uk]

Greeting BullGod,

I love the style and look of the cards and I really appreciate the invisible bar mod.
I have to admit I wanted to use vanilla ones to see them all first before I tried your mod. I just finished using SR+ and realised you've done ones for it...doh.
I've moved off to ZenDarth mod and I know it uses JFC's unit cards (I was using for SR+), but I really can't put off using your one any longer, so here I am just DL it and trying it out.

Just noticed however, that there aren't any for the Ikko ikki DLC.

EDIT:
I am also using UNIT VARIETY v3...just checking if things will work out. ===> EDIT: Having some compatibility probs, but trying to amend it to fit unit variety structure...weird results though...

And as for the Unit Variety mod by The Hedge Knight (that's what you're using, right?), it shouldn't interfere with my mod as there are no icons there (right?).

I have a fixed version I made for use with Unit Variety. The problem between the two (if I recall correctly) is that Hedge renames the ashigaru units in order to get clan symbols to appear on armour. That causes icons not to display properly for those units. The solution is to repack the icon mod with duplicates named for each clan (just for the ashigaru). I'll see if I can find it as I just started playing again and cleaned out my mod collection to update things.

edit: Here's what I was using for UV 3.05 before the TROM UV submod came out. It should work without issue, provided nothing else has changed. Haven't time to test at the moment.

Appreciate for doing that, I'm no modder, I just try to tinker with whats available...LOL, you saved me a head-ache-and-a-half...

...er I'm not getting anywhere with the "retexture project"...if you have time, give it a butchers...cheers! off to work...

Would you perhaps like to have a look at my poor attempt to get BG's cards compatible with Retexture Project? I've amalgamated unit icons and recruitment icons with DLC and troms pack. I get the icons to show apart from on the campaign map. (I also had to delete the icons in the Retexture Project pack file to get it to work that far...)

I'm just using Demokritos' re-color along with Unit Variety, so I'm not sure how that's put together at the moment. Maybe wait and see how things shake out after the next patch.

@Bullgod

That's a nice example. It's hard to find specific examples from that period online as most sites are either commercial (and therefore limited) or poorly designed university or museum archives with low resolution images and horrible search and navigation facilities. I studied Japanese language and culture in college at length, but the Middle Ages were almost completely ignored. I suspect there's a wealth of Japanese archive sites out there, but my language skills have gone seriously downhill in the past 10 years

Hi Yobi_uk,
Ikko-Ikki unit icons are included in basic icon pack, there is no separate download for them.

And as for the Unit Variety mod by The Hedge Knight (that's what you're using, right?), it shouldn't interfere with my mod as there are no icons there (right?).

That screen shot showing the invisible HUD preview looks amazing. Its so clear and pristine. Are you running all options on? Im running everything all the way up, and I also have all the options like heat haze and bloom checked, do you have some of those things unchecked?

[BullGod]

@rc5924
I have all settings on max, and all options on, except for Depth Of Field, which I have turned off, because I don't like the unrealistic feeling of it. I'm not 100% sure, but SSAO might have been off for this one too.

[yobi_uk]

I love this so I've been trying to make it compatible with the mods I use namely Unit Variety.

I've tweaked BG's colour cards, recruitment, SJ_dlc, etc are included, with the guidance of KP.
It works so far for me, but I'm no modder just a tweaker so any issues I'll have to refer to KP an BG.

BullGod Colour Icons_Full compatible with Unit Variety no RoTS changes


credits go to BG et al. With respects

[Bartolomeo XIII]

Hi, I have make a version of Your cards compatible with latest version of Trom (aor and etc ) and Trom unit variety project. Can I post it on the Trom forum, of course with giving You credits?

[Neoton]

AMAZING!!! Just amazing, man. Rep given.

[BullGod]

I've changed download link for TROM3 icon pack in the first post, linking it to the file Bartolomeo XIII uploaded in this thread. Many thanks to you, Bart

[Bad213Boy]

Awesome mod. Thx man. Will definitely give it a try.

[♔Lord Hay♔]

these are pretty nice but i can't use cuz my shogun won't work

[MrBoBo1]

Excellent work dude, these looks fantastic.

[Kiwi Force]

any chance of a mod like this for FOTS?

[BullGod]

Unlikely, since I don't have FOTS

[Taskeen]

I'm surprised FOTS hasn't been gifted to you

I love these unit pictures for regular Shogun 2. I play RoTS, Sengoku, and FoTS in order, w/ Radious extra unit packs. It would be super amazing if you ever develop these similar unit icons for the expansions and radious units.

[Hazeyshot]

there any chances you make more of this since another new DLC came out for shogun 2?

Not in any foreseeable future, I'm afraid.

[pesgta]

Can you add icon of Hattori unit?
Thanks!
