I've been toying with a few ideas, but it's difficult to come up with something that looks good, scales small, and is even somewhat historical. The problem really is there's no such thing as "veterancy" in the military. Promoting a pershing commander to Lieutenant General (3 stars) for valor makes no actual sense, and so I think what's best is to try and represent 1st, 2nd, and 3rd awards of medals for valor, and let the extra levels appear to be meritorious promotions, or something else.

I'm thinking the SS general leaves would work better for panzer elite (SS Panzer div.), and give the wehrmacht something else.

Unfortunately the equivalent is more awkward to use in an icon...

Doesn't matter if it doesn't make sense to be honest, the vet 1 - 3 bonusses you have now are great.
For vet 4 and 5, I suppose using some medals/awards for the other factions, like you did with the Wehrmacht's, is excellent.

No that's my point mate. All I did for those examples was add some rank to the medals we already were using, combining the oak leaves from an SS general insignia to the iron cross. But PE is more "SS" than wehrmacht, so I have to swap them out.

I could just have ribbons as well, or use the bronze, silver, gold thing, and just make a lvl 4,5,6 differentiated only by the oak leaves shape and color...

I say stick to the actual medals, they look sick Cheesy

When you did that ribbon one, it looked pretty tacky, and didn't seem to fit the theme of the others

To merge you have to unpack with corsix studio, copy the folders from mine over yours, and then repack. However, you should be able to just rename the archive, and add your own line to this section of the .module file:

[data:common:01]
folder = Europeinruins\Data
archive.01 = EuropeInRuins\Archives...

Like Jesus, Keeps died for us

He made a funny thread for bear, and got banned.

Now bear makes his own funny thread. It's unsurprisingly not funny.

Keeps died for our funny threads.

We asked him to work on a version that included vet 4 & 5 for the rework, but he just dissapeared :/

Could really use someone to do these.

I hope either Vertiggo is back soon and makes these or someone else that has the ability and is willing to make them available for EiR.

They do look fantastic!

P.S: anyone tried to contact Vertiggo again maybe ?

Do we have permission to use vet 1-3?

That's like offering Beer to fuck the fat chick. It will work for a while, but it's not gonna last. Not only that, but there is zero motivation for the Fat chick to loose weight.

Yes, but is there a download link for that up?
If there is, I suppose we should add it for next patch

Yeah I was just swamped with finals and papers. I whipped up a 4 and 5 set. They are separate from the first 3:

http://www.filefront.com/user/VERTIGGO

I suppose I could pack them all together into a "skinpack" but I believe it would be pointless until I'm sure of the filenames and directory structure that EIRR will call them from as the game doesn't address these yet.
