Hello.
I think it would be useful instead of the “Always Render Strategic Icons” option to make it possible to choose zoom distance at which strategic icons stop showing.

Idle Engineers Light is a really nice mod.
I didn't find a separate discussion thread about it. So I decided to post here.
It would be great to add options to resize or reposition overlay icons for idle engineers, upgrading extractors and factories.
This would be useful for people using the mod for larger strategic icons.
Otherwise the icons overlap, making them difficult to use.

It works, but the icon borders look like an 8-bit game. Apparently the Advanced Strategic icons mod takes a different approach.

Interesting fact that this command does not scale the flying nuke icon. But it was scaled when the nxt file worked.

Maybe there is another way to scale icons for unscouted units? At high screen resolution they are extremely small.
How Advanced Strategic icons mod scaled them? Looks like Inside the .nxt file only the icons themselves. There are no other parameter files there.

Looks like unscouted units have their own icon.
The ASI mod scaled their size along with the regular icons when it worked.
Yeah, it would be really fun to have a separate icon pack for all unknown units. It would have definitely turned the game around)))

Hi. When using a mod with a size 125% of the original, the icons of unknown units on the radar remain small. Is it possible to scale them too?

@arma473 This file no longer affects the operation of the new mod. I have not deleted it and everything works fine.
You can leave this file in ReplayData.
This is an ASI for viewing replays.
The ASI mod still works when viewing replays.

ASI are installed in the folder c:\ProgramData\FAForever\gamedata.
The file "Advanced strategic icons.nxt" will be there.
You need to change the extension of the .nxt file to .zip.
Now if you unzip this archive you will find all icon textures with the extension .dds.
Now you need to install the mod "Reworked Strategic Icons".
In the folder with the installed mod will be directory "custom-strategic-icons" with files with the extension .dds.
Now all you need to do is copy the dds files from the ASI mod into the "custom-strategic-icons" folder with replacement.
Now you need to enable the mod when creating the lobby.
The lobby should be created 2 times.
Hope this helps.
