If anyone would like to try my veterancy icons, get them here and either place in Company of Heroes/EuropeInRuins/Archives, or unpack and add to your own skin pack. You should be able to simply unpack them to the Data folder as well.

Edit: Links replaced, fixed a Wehrmacht issue. The new archive is zipped.

Note: The reason I began this mod was the vehicle icons were always stretched, and I wanted to fix that. Unfortunately, unless EIRRMod feels like tweaking the attribs, there's nothing I can do for that in EIRR, as the same texture is borrowed from the infantry, and Relic's infinite wisdom spawned a four-fold skew factor on various vet icons. Garrisoned troops, infantry, vehicles and the taskbar all have slightly different stretch factors, so I had to use reverse proportions to get them all to look half-way decent. So, the screens show what can be done if the .rgds are edited to include a set of "vehicle" icons as an alternate to the basic ones.

@EIRRMod, devs, whoever is responsible for this bit: I drew these up myself so they're copyright me, and I would gladly cooperate if you would like to include them in the mod, though you most likely don't need any help with that. Basically, consider them public domain.

Great job! ill give them a test.

All togather, these vet icons look very very polished. Im liking what I see.

May I have permission to use them in my skinpack?

[VERTIGGO]

Of course! Anyone can use them. Be sure to grab the new .zip file.

I'll post updates if I make other changes.

I like it. Couldn't find this "data" folder that you mentioned, but I'll see if it works next time I'm in game!

[VERTIGGO]

You would probably have to create it. Unfortunately I think the .sga archives trump the data folder anyway, so the best way is to just use it as is, or merge it with whatever version of ExternalSkinpack.sga you currently use.

This looks very snazzy. EiRmod should really add these symbols in. They look SO much more better
Great work dude. Will try and use these when I get the chance later

[shockcoil]

Looks awesome. Definitely gonna give it a try

[Grundwaffe]

Thankyou VERTIGGO, this is always how i wanted em, they look high res also which is good

[spinn72]

I'm using these now, they look awesome. Well done VERTIGGO.

[LeoPhone]

these are AWESOME. im using them now in my mod. thanks vertiggo.
these should just be added to EiR as default.

[Unkn0wn]

Hey Vertiggo, do you think you could make us some icons for vet 4 and vet 5 as well?
We can definitely look at making these the default EIRR icons then

[LeoPhone]

EIR is getting vet 4 and 5? laaaaaaaaame =_=

[Unkn0wn]

We will be reworking our vet system, I can already tell you there is talk of scrapping the vet purchasing system and returning to the old EIR way of earning veterancy. And yes we will probably add vet 4 & 5 (These will not give any real bonuses mind you)

[LeoPhone]

hmm, if its just an indicator of how many million XP the unit has i guess thats cool.

So...you could TECHINCALLY go up 5 vets in one game (Your unit would probably have to take on 3 armies worth of stuff by itself and kill ALL of it)?
That would be pretty cool
And hope vertigo makes the vet 4 and 5. Maybe make it different to the Vet 1-3 icons, Like adding Leaves to the vet 4 and having it swords and oak leaves at vet 5. (Or however the ironcross gets more "important". Would save the sight of seeing 5 Iron Cross' above EACH unit :<
Thats just an idea though, and probably sucks

[Unkn0wn]

Technically it'll become possible again to vet up from 1 - 3 or more in one game yeah, but the requirements are probably going up a tad. In addition, vet 4 & vet 5 will be very rare. (And just there for bragging rights/sense of achievement anyway. Who knows though, maybe we'll chuck in a fancy new skin or unit name)

[MittinsKittens]

Ahh I see. That will be pretty awesome, When the system comes in, I might have to try and get a KT up to Level 5 and name it KiTty :3
Oh well. I hope Vert takes up the challenge of adding the extra 2 ranks worth of vet symbols

[VERTIGGO]

I can work on two more, these only took a few hours once I figured out what rubbish Relic was doing to them, the only real issue is space. They obviously can't be 4 and 5 iron crosses in a row, or they'd never fit on the taskbar. I would definitely welcome suggestions like the oak leaves idea.

Unless no one minds that, since there's plenty of room on top of the health bars...

[Unkn0wn]

It would be nice if you could give them a unique touch, something different to set them apart.
They're supposed to be truly Heroic & Legendary vet levels.

Looks animeish
