and this repository from @BlackYps to automate tasks in Gimp.
Search functionality is broken on the old forums. How do you convert the link to the cached forums?

Advanced strategic icons The creator of this mod is known by the nickname of Shadows in the forum and lobby of Forged Alliance Forever. Main page: http://www.faforever.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=2740&sid=3f76b85c4a440c00d11a15f6e0a2ccd7 Email: [email protected] Copyright (C) Maxareuos. 2014. All rights reserved. You may not sell or change this creation in any way. ..That's what the original license says. I don't know if putting the icons on the mod vault would be a violation. But I modified some of the icons so I am a criminal for sure.

Good find - I've send him an email.
-
I've finished the conversion. With your instructions it was surprisingly easy and everything now works as it should!
I will then wait for the permission before uploading , but I'm ready to upload the mod if desired. (In 3 Versions small size, medium size, large size)
Of course I have named Maxareuos as the author of the Mod.

I have not yet received a response - let's wait till the end of the week and then I'll talk with Balthazar.

OK I installed Penguins Icon Mod and replaced whatever icons he had there with strategic icons as proof of concept and guess what... the mexes icons are still fucked up. What I did worked partially, icons except mexes and pgens and some others get replaced. I think "howering over mexes" did something with t1 icons

I'll look at this this weekend too then. Busy weekend

OK I had problem with game, I reinstalled ASI and FAF and supcom and everything is working. Problem was on my side
-
@KarlHoffman do you have a link to the installer for me?
-
Just pitching in that the icons work fine for me. I think I'm using this version: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2wnafvqj1mxwyut/Advanced Strategic Icons mod installer 3.3.1.zip?dl=0
Could it affect if I've previously added them to base game or something?
-
@jip link for ASI or for Penguins Icon Mod ? I didn't really create the mod in a proper way I just tried to see if icons works so I modify existing Penguins Icon Mod for myself only. I will read how to create mods and try to make a proper one. Never tried create mod before
-
@giebmasse yep I used the same
-
Ok, I have converted everything, how do I publish a mod?
-
Ok I published them
-
Due to copyright issues with the author these are likely to be removed as we work things out with the author
-
@sheikah oh copyright? so author have to publish it? I can share folder with him through google drive or something
-
or we need to redo all icons?
-
Penguin has put his icons into the public domain (that's how I'm interpreting his 1 sentence license) so you can use and modify those all you want and upload a mod that uses them: https://forum.faforever.com/topic/2554/list-of-crowdsourced-icons-for-ui-mods/2?_=1632360371537

ok it getting complicated in terms of copyright and sht, I only started to do this cause I had problems with icons. All I did replaced icons in Penguins mod with ASI icons. I solved icons for myself it is very easy. If anyone need I can share mods folders with different sizes of icons
-
I cant seem to get my mex or pgen icons back. Ive tried makin a new mod folder which didnt work and have tried installing penguins mod , im sure it installed because the ACU icon was different but still no mex or pgen icons. I am lost . :(*
