These files add more mod-tagged [snow] content including a whitewashed user interface, floating HQ icons with portraits, snowy portraits imported from FB and Russian skins with scarfs. All the artwork is Juju’s and Jorge MC’s modified. I am not able to include my Russian snowy portraits because of copyright restrictions.

Lt. Smash’s Floating Icons for Fortress Italy

Lt. Smash — Mon, 22 Oct 2018 18:36:04 +0000

This mod replaces the default floating icons in Combat Mission: Fortress Italy (CMFI) and its Gustav Line module. These stylized icons are based on the U.S. War Department’s 1943 Basic Field Manual FM21-30 Conventional Signs, Military Symbols and Abbreviations. The icons have a slightly three-dimensional appearance so that they look like counters from traditional board-based war games. And, when the icon blinks (i.e., the unit is selected or wounded), the unit’s national flag is displayed.

Lt. Smash’s Floating Icons for Shock Force 2

Lt. Smash — Mon, 22 Oct 2018 18:16:37 +0000

This mod replaces the default floating icons in Combat Mission: Shock Force 2 (CMSF2). These stylized icons are based on the U.S. Department of Defense Interface Standard (MIL-STD-2525C) and supplemented with NATO’s Military Symbols for Land Based Systems. The icons have a slightly three-dimensional appearance so that they look like counters from traditional board-based war games. And, when the icon blinks (i.e., the unit is selected or wounded), the unit’s national flag is displayed.

This mod will work with the CMSF2 demo. Detailed instructions and provided in the zip file.

9 Mod Floating Icons CMBN/CMFB

3j2m7 — Sun, 19 Aug 2018 01:52:02 +0000

So folk, this is my Floatings Icons mod.

This represent Icons for CMBN but can be also used to CMFB, later I will added Italian and Russian troops, that we can use with CMFI CMRT and probably the new module that we are waiting so long…

But let us begin for the time with
-Usa
-British
-German

Let you know that the size is a little bigger as allowed
but, because CM system is really intelligent, the Icons will be automatically resized, from 64×64 into 32×32 thus, dont have any problem to show you another basic size, (don’t have to tell you but is already better to remind…).

In fact I did the icons in a bigger size, because I had a better view and is more easy to work about a detailled pictures and have also a better result…

Thus, I give you also more possibility to use it, regarding to the Bonus folder that you will choose.

Be of course aware to use only one kind of file, like Bonus 1, OR Bonus 2, OR no bonus at all.

I did these mod with a particular precision, to try to have the better and simple view…

A)
I choose Icon from Officer with Phone or talkee walkee following the country, cos in my opinon they are representing the key of the PC.

B)
I choose Icon from NCO cos in my opinion he represent all troops under his command.

But you make yourself your opinion.

Hope will be usefull !!!

If you see something wrong please let me know !!!

And when you don t like it, simple, don t install it…!!!

Enjoy

Vin Geometric Icons CMBS + bonus Arrow Bases

Vin Geometric Icons CMBS + bonus Arrow Bases

First, special thanks to Juju, Wolf, and Bil for all their original contributions from which I have drawn from to create this mod, and it’s concepts. If you are familiar with my other Icon mods this one works the same in using different colors for spotted and FOW icons, along with different colors for fortifications icons making set up much more visually organized. Each unit class has a unique geometric shape making it much easier to differentiate unit types while making icons smaller.

Newest Feature: New HQ icons.

HQ units stand out much better now using contrast for visual emphasis while having a more interesting look with a white star icon for USA, Gold Star for Ukraine, and Russian Army Star for Russia. READ instructions on how to swap blue HQ’s.

BONUS Arrow Bases mod included!

Enjoy!

Modification for Italian Army Icons for CM:Fortress Italy/Gustav Line by Tempestzzzz

Tempestzzzz — Tue, 31 May 2016 23:08:09 +0000

This is a modification of floating icons using Royal Italian Army map symbols. Nearly Everyone either fudges it with NATO/Wehrmacht or small pictures. The real deal-Royal Italian Army Tactical Map Symbols! I should add we (CMFDR and myself) had quite a few historical resources to draw on-but every icon used won’t be present since there are some units not in the Royal Italian Army depicted in FI/Gustav Line time period (i.e. SNIPERS and ANTITANK infantry units [like Bazooka and Panzershreck]. Certainly no Heavy or Medium Tanks.

Enclosed in the ZIP

1) Italian Icons

Enclosed are 3 different and Regular Unit Icons. 2 files are for RED Forces one is for BLUE Forces.

2) Italian HQ Icons

Enclosed are 3 different HQ Unit Icons if you want an authentic Royal Italian Army markings for your HQ units. (You need to mod tag HQ Unit Icons )

Also enclosed in the ZIP is a PDF key showing screen-captures of symbols we found and used in game and 2 readmes in English and French.
