Hi

I had the idea to make some APP-6A style minimap icons.

But i have several questions regarding the minimap and Icons...

how big can they be at max? looking at the pr FOB symbol it is much biger than the original tank ikon, non the less ingame it is musch smaler.

Is there a way to not let the icons rotate? like the squadleader icon. For the apps it looks cooler if they would always face north, regardles of the vehicles heading direction.

Is there a way to represent the squadleaders kit as an minimap icon?... i know the commander can switch it, so that the minimap icons represents the kits on his map.

Can you get rid of a whole color? eg in pr you cant report enemys the nilla style via Q. For vehicles you just changed the minimapicons to none. But how does it work for infantrie? in other words, could you get rid of everything thats for example blue on the minimap?

i hope anything of this makes any sense its 3 AM... time for bed.



for what they "should" represent :
Infantry squad; recon squad; tank; tracked IFV; wheeled APC; wheeled IFV; tracked APC; amphibious tracked APC (Amtrac); tracked recon vehicle; wheeled recon vehicle; SPAAG; tracked missile AA; motorised missile AA; motorised AT; engeenier squad; logistig truck; maintenance depot; HQ; fixed AT; fixed AA; suplies; repair; outpost(combat);

Is there really that much need for new map icons. I think that the ones now look pretty good nyway.

ey mate i really like this idea¡¡ i was thinking the same a lot times but i dont have the knowledge to do something similar...keep it up¡¡¡
