RE: JTS The Seven Years War Released
Thanks for the reply.

Great, now i understand the function for NATO counters in the unit portrait, they represent NATIONS, i think represented unit types (in summer i am not in my best moment, my spider sense is Shocked )... where i can see the list with the relation NATO counter colour-Nation??? i dont see it in the PDFs.

Anyway even using the NATO icon i find more inmersive and informative do like in the FIW mod and when is possible place in the unit portrait background the regimental flag+a small nation flag and if is not avaliable the regimental flag use the nation flag, the specific nation flag for the unit, not the army flag because to know the army we have the counter colour in the moment is not possible have in same army OOB structure diferent nations with diferent counters-unitboxes (i refer you need create a new army to use a different counter and unitbox for units).

Is not possible use the files from EAW in M&P, well, same if you try port a file from a different serie, i think in BMP every icon (for counter, unit portrait, 3D image...) has a number that represent the position into the BPM and this position is linked to the point it is used (i remember see mods for other Tiller games where in the unit portrait appear a number adn when you edit the OOB you use these numbers to link the portrait to the unit).

Apart this when REN receive the 3D art i think the .exe file was changed to allow the use of 3D because i think to use 3D you need the game support it, is not simple place the files with the correct links, engine needs support 3D.

Yea, i remember that 1776 mod, even i remember another one that in 2 days or less was removed because Tiller ask it.... he was working in a title covering the mod material... maybe this title???.

Thanks for take in consideration the modification for unitbox, is true that SYW uses a different unitbox, a lot darker, and the same for all nations... maybe in next titles (and retrofited to SYW) a good idea could be use different boxes for different armies like in nap serie, use the counter colour in the unitbox to.

In the unit 3D i allways like a lot the Nap art, the used now is perfect to represent infantry in line and give cavalry a good look, i never like a lot the big soldiers because 4-5 never give me the sensation of combat line.

EDIT: I find the mod!!!, yes, was for FIW title, this is what i want say about the unit portraits and the background.

I cant upload the file because is to big... well i can post the image at least.
