Arrows Infinite - Attack direction in conquest always visible!

Description
Intro:
I honestly think the lack of visibility of crude attack direction in conquest is a bad design. Especially in defense missions, this can be a pain to plan your defense line. Also from a realism POV your recon should be able to give you at least a direction the enemy may come from,right?

Sadly all mods that made it possible in the past don't work anymore or crash your game so i tried to make my own version, with a diffrent approach how it will be displayed ingame.

Duly noted this is the most ambitious mod-project i ever made for GoH, but i can finally say i got all 31 base game maps aswell as 25 maps from Talvisota DLC & 25 maps from Liberation DLC working. 24 selected custom maps are supported aswell now!... at least in theory, testing 105 maps takes time ;)

Features:
  • You will be able to see all possible attack / reinforcement directions in conquest when you start a mission in conquest. This does include attack aswell as defense missions.

    Note: Due to the method the arrows are displayed, you will see also arrows for your own team/allies when starting the mission. They will disappear in a few seconds.

  • Support for all new conquest maps provided by Talvisota DLC.

  • Support for all new conquest maps provided by Liberation DLC.

  • Support for a selection of custom maps provided by A&Rm and other map-packs! [NEW]

What this mod DOES NOT:
  • Showing you from which direction the AI will attack exactly. They usually have four diffrent angles to choose from.

  • Showing you when the AI will call in their reinforcements.
    Note: Guess the advantage to see directions all the time , should make up for it ;) Imo it made no sense to see it with e Fog of War enabled anyways

  • Adding Support for offical maps that are not supported by conquest in the base game or DLC.

  • Adding Support for non-offical maps from workshop.

    Note: Please take a look at the sticky to check the supported custom/SP maps. If you are a mod author please write me so we can try to make it work!

Compatibility
This is a very lightweight mod, what makes it very compatible with other mods.
However it is most likely not compatible with total conversations i.e. "Conquest Enhanced" or mods that add and/or change maps.

GOH A&Rm - Authenticity & Realism v3.41a maps are officially supported now!
Gates of Steel maps are officially supported now!
Dynamic Conquest campaign-map expansion is officially supported now!



IMPORTANT:
You have to apply my mod at the end of the load order to make my changes stay, since this guarantees overwrite of conflicting mod-files.

Closing remarks
