Map Icons, lines, positions etc Reference Guide?

[Gambit21]

Has anyone taken the time to place all the Icon types on a reference map with labels? 

I need an easy reference so that I can see what type of line or marker each icon type creates.

 

I might do this myself if it doesn't exist already.

For the lines between icons with Icon ID "None", see "Icon Translator" on pg. 255 of the IL-2 Sturmovik Mission Editor and Multiplayer Server Manual. However, I haven't tested lines between other icon IDs; maybe they are the same as for "None".

Ahh...thanks Jim

Actually starts on 265

 

I always feel like a dummy when I miss something in the manual...should have known to look harder.

I'm referring to the page number (255) printed on lower right corner, not the page number indicated in the Acrobat Reader interface (265). They differ because the front matter pages are labeled with Roman numerals.

 

Cheers!

I've been playing around with the Translator:Icon a bit recently for putting labels and icons onto my training maps. Was there anything in particular you were looking for or was this just a general question?

I bet it was a general question. I was also searching for a reference of the different icon types just yesterday. Wouldn't actually be a big task to do, just add one example of each icon with the icon name to a mission, run the mission and take a screenshot

FYI, I've rediscovered a method for making the PDF interface page number display match the page number printed on the document so I'll apply that change to the next version of the manual. That should clear up any confusion re. the exact page that information is on.

I just started putting together a reference map with the Translator:Icon variants on it using the Velikiye Luki map. If it works out okay I'll make it available for anyone that wants it.

 

 

 

 

As promised https://app.box.com/s/2yaq1f1k628djvr0pgc1pccd7ntppxj4

 

Unzip the archive into your <game>\missions folder, start up your game and choose the Icons Test mission to

see how each of these Translator:Icon variants will look on your map.
