You can try my old mod, It's called 'Advanced Strategic Icons' and recently it has hit version 3.0
viewtopic.php?f=41&t=2740
It offers changeable icons' size, easy to understand symbols, color highlighting for key structures, role indications for base defences and an advanced installer.

It is perfect for me, and I am not really that impaired frankly, it is related to the resolution too and few other things.

Works for 3599 but not for 3614 unless there is a trick ?

thanks.
this can also be helpful playing on a 15" laptop with full hd resolution.
i will test it.

edit: it works fine for 3599, but not for 3614. the strategic icons are really big, so it is for people with really bad vision.

Attached is the scd for the resized icons; this should go in the gamedata folder.

Didn't have time to test it with FAF yet.

That other icon work was just for the GAZ-UI icons, not the ones on the strategic map. I still have that (including the generator script I hacked together - will gladly pass it on if anyone's interested)

Yes, I am interested

PS: About Felitaur, I imagine he changed his name.

I don't have it I fear (actually I might even have it somewhere), but I definitely know someone who plays with it:
Felitaur (on FAF). He's visually impaired and the icon pack works great for him. He's a nice guy and if you tell him I sent you he'll gladly pass the icons on, I'm sure.

There was a replacement icon sprite pack that Thygrrr released ages ago. It wasnt a mod, it required you to replace a bunch of files in your supcom install. And yes, I mean the icons on the map.

The icons were just straight upsized, so they are rather pixelly, but if the normal icons are too small they should look fine.

I can't find the link on GPG forums anymore, so maybe you can ask Thygrrr directly to see if he still has it, since he's still around over here.

I guess, along the lines of "Things SupCom should have had in the first place", it would be nice if this was included with FAF and made integrated/switchable somehow

That is the only mod I use but it works only for build strategic icons (which is not very usefuk btw, you know quickly where are your built icons...)

I would like that for units and structures. ^^

GAZ UI lets you enable larger icons if you want them.

How to get bigger strategic icons for units, structures

2012-06-18T05:12:50+02:00

I would like to have bigger icons for units, structures. They are way too small...
I am on XP in windowed mode where the resolution is a default one, so to change it is not an option.
I would like to have icons at least 3 or 4 times bigger...

Any idea ? Thank you
