Made these Alternative 2D flat counters for myself but you can get them here (http://www.strategyzoneonline.com/forums/downloads.php?do=file&id=1217). The 2D small counters are not inclued, will be done later. :laugh:

Nice work, I was just wondering if you did all the color combinations?

Nice work, I was just wondering if you did all the color combinations?
The Numbers.bmp and all the normal 2D counters, except for the NATO type icon, were repainted to ensure color consistency. Also the color buttons icons on the Standardbuttons256.bmp was repainted.
My motivation was that I didn’t like the bold hazy number look.

Will your numbers.bmp work with the standard icons, i mean, did you use exactly the same colours?

It's just because i don't like the edged icons..

You like the non-bold numbers, but not the icons?

Yes, is there a misunderstanding due to language deficiency?

Edit: Ah! I meant i don't like the edged COUNTERS ! I love the NATO icons, without any doubt..

No, just making sure you hadn't fallen to the dark side of flat counters. :laugh:

Well you better wear your crucifix and safety goggles if you read me and Larry's FitE AAR on Matrix, squared counters all over the place. If you don't get pulled to the dark side you might poke an eye on the sharp edges:nuts:

Fortunately, your guys' AARs are mostly small counter pics, or the mini-map so I can safely view 'em and not get dragged down the wrong path. :p

When will this modding madness end?

How come some people don't realise yet how perfect the original TOAW graphics are! :D

Hilarious. I was just thinking about how great it is that TOAW is so easy to mod. :laugh: Means we can all have great, different set-ups. I have the old CoW graphics, mixed with red air fields, so they show up, the blue anchorage hexes from TOAW III, my own railroad mod that have thick cross-hatched RRs. It means I have everythgin I want, everythgin I want to show up, does. :)

It is not madness my friend. It's like that "old dead guy science" theory of natural selection put into practice. The original graphics are far from perfect as successive mods have proven. Think of round counters and original terrain as Cro magnon man in the TOAW world slowly and surely being supplanted by the likes of JMass mods, the true Homo Sapiens sapiens of the TOAW world if you will. One day soon rounded counters and original terrain will only be the museum pieces of AAR's from days gone by.Even Windows is not immune from this natural selection as you'll see from this screenie. :laugh:

Hey, Cro Magnon men were Homo Sapiens Sapiens, just like us! At any rate, only evolved, highly competitive and glass-wearing wargamer species can decipher the original railroads (broken, not broken? Let me get closer to the monitor...), airfields (where the heck will I land this squadron?) and the blending shades of terrain (damn it, stuck again in badlands...) :D

I'll come back to you in ten years or so when my eyesight gets poorer!

Nice Windows layout you have there for sure :surprise: :laugh:

Yes Cro magnon men were homo sapiens sapiens, but where are they now? In a display case at the Museum of Man and Nature. As for original RR's etc, it's like comparing stickmen to the Mona Lisa, but I suppose it could be an acquired taste, like chutney. And Veers put the gunsdown, pleeeease?

No, but if you go here (http://www.strategyzoneonline.com/forums/downloads.php?do=file&id=1218), i have inclued a numbers only file that works with the original unmodified stock counters.

Oh you roundy boys and your retro out of date systems, more like inaccurate and heavy :rolleyes: If you're going to replace your clubs at least use something a little more cutting edge (like squared [] counters). Try this one, it's from the curent century, AN 94, no recoil, burst fire will penetrate any body armor

That's what so great about TOAW-III. You see your wonderful rounded counters & your opponent sees his square counters. It's all beautiful man.

I prefer the rounded counters myself. I'm also a tit man, I'm sure there's a connection.

Back to the original topic of this thread. I tried ezjax counters and liked them enough to switch over to them, nice work dude. You can see some screen shots of them in the AAR me and Larry Fulkerson are doing for our FitE game over at Matrix site.
