EDIT: This small mod should no longer be needed since "QwikFix1.06aQF2= January28,2013",
as it has been included in.


(nb: DL link is in bottom of the post)
Don't you think the top icons should be moved?

Each time I think Moral is Victory Points, Victory is EngagementPoints, and EP is National Moral
So, I would want
NM takes EP icon (the lightning should be the still strenght of spirit),
VP takes MN icon (laurels' victory!), and
EP takes VP icon (in RUS, politics, ability to distibute medals)
I did very easily a mod (first part):

Yeay that's good now! Don't you think? It feels like it was the devs intend, but they had mixed their icons...

Now, the icons in Objectives tab (F9) become not fitting (worse than before):
[ATTACH]21114[/ATTACH]

By changing their names*, it becomes good:
[ATTACH]21113[/ATTACH]
By the way, here you see the lightning threatening for a sudden death...
I'm in the dev' minds :cool:

Make backup of your 12 following game files,
then unpack [ATTACH]21116[/ATTACH] and overwrite the new png files in
\Graphics\FrontEnd\Top Left Panel\Assets and in
\Graphics\FrontEnd\F9 Objectives.

* (Don't touch GUIObjectives.dfm in \FrontEnd, it brings the mess and is not enough)

Done, it becomes:
[ATTACH]20427[/ATTACH]
Unpack and overwrite [ATTACH]20428[/ATTACH] in \Graphics\FrontEnd\Top Left Panel\Assets

Yeay that's good now! Don't you think? It feels like it was the devs intend, but they had mixed their icons...
EDIT: To complete, go to post #5.

Lightning Bolt = Action = EP ... fine with me.
Medals = Points... fine with me.
Laurels OK by default.

So to each its own. I am used to this anyway.

Yes, it's AJE that confuses me.

The icons in Objectives tab (F9) are too not fitting:

By changing their names*, it becomes good:

By the way, here you see the [color="#FFFF00"]lightning[/color] threatening for a sudden death...
I'm in the dev' minds :cool:

Here are the new png files: [ATTACH]21099[/ATTACH]
In \Graphics\FrontEnd\F9 Objectives, make backup files of
Obj_Objectives_Laurels, Icon_Objectives_Medal and Icon_Objectives_Lightning.
Put my 3 new png files in the folder.

Beware! My last post (I deleted at least 2) was refering on the changes I made on the icons from the screen top:
I don't talk about a real bug.
If you did understood, then I'm happy that my taste is yours,
but if it is made official, it should at first bother many players habits (if they really can't stand it, they will have to do the reverse mod of mine!).
I will merge my posts of this thread in the first one to be more specific. (edit: done; the DL link is in bottom of 1st post)
EDIT2: And [color="#FF0000"]BEWARE to the devs: I swaped the names of icons[/color], so for future mods they (at least the 3 of F9) may be misleading.

Oh, beware again: If it is made official, you would have, to be consistent, to do it for all other AGE games too...
