Sensible Theatre Icons

Description
Sensible Theatre Icon (STI) is focused on making the theatre icons (for both army groups, armies and navies) more easily recognizable. It started as a personal mod because I didn't really liked the assortment of vanilla icons, but always loved the selection present on MPU Theatre Icons (thanks @mpu.daemos for the inspiration).

The icons are colourable, following the in-game palette and do not overwrite vanilla icons (generic and country specific).

What STI adds:
  • 73 new Army Group Icons
    • 20 arabic numerals
    • 26 alphabet letters
    • 15 military acronyms (HQ,SF,ART,etc.)
    • 11 military based symbols
    • 1 blank
  • 139 new Army Icons
    • 30 arabic numerals
    • 25 roman numerals
    • 26 alphabet letters
    • 31 military acronyms (HQ,SF,ART,etc.)
    • 17 nato-like icons
    • 5 stylized military icons
    • 4 cardinal points icons
    • 1 blank
  • 100 new Fleets and Navy Task Forces Icons (big for fleets, small for task forces)
    • 15 arabic numerals (big)
    • 8 cardinal points (big)
    • 16 oceans and seas areas (big)
    • 2 acronyms (big)
    • 8 military stylized icons (big)
    • 10 military stylized icons (small)
    • 14 acronyms (small)
    • 27 task-force-esque numerals (11,12,13,14,21,22,23,24,etc.)

Compatibility
STI should be compatible with ALL modification, unless they specifically change graphics in the theatre panel (icons & alerts). The mod however has a very small footprint as I ensure that it does and will always pertain to his scope.

FAQ
Can you add more icons?
It seems there is an hardcoded limit on the number of icons, so far we've touched it already on the navy icons so I can try add more to army groups and armies
Can you extend your work on map/unit counters?
I really would like to, however I barely manage to keep up with STI. Hopefully at some point I will do that
Can you add real unit insigna?
I thought about that but the hardcoded limit would prevent us from benefitting for generic icons like the one present in the mod
I've found a BUG!
Please post a comment here, I'll try to solve ASAP!

Special Thanks
All of you from the community with your comments, suggestions and bug reports!

Btw Bald Eagle, the number of the file can be seen in the web address bar ( filesdetails/?id+<number here> ) in this case it's 1915965716. If you ever can't see the link, just click the share button and you will see it copy-able

Just so everyone knows, this is indeed ironman and achievement compatible! It would be helpful to add this in the mod description, author!

@Ghaleon What is the name (number) of the file?

To anyone who doesn't like the yellow triangle saying it is out of date, all you have to do is go to the descriptor file for the mod and type/save the current HOI build where the old one is listed....and it will solve the "update" issue.

Time to update this mod. Also is it possible to add icons for the Air Force?
Marv de Marvenlöse Oct 22, 2023 @ 4:05am 
Could it be updated and improved a bit by including some sensible theatre icons for the Air Force ?

Can this get adapted to work with Millennium dawn? I think the style for this would work great with it
