@Limyx826: I think that is just related to how the game handles mods. This mod is safe to activate/deactivate mid game though so no harm in loading a save even with the error present, if its deactivated then the icons should not load. :)

I had noted that in the save file where this mod is used and not enabled, it will show as missing mod in loading screen.

@Captain Nuclear Thanks! They might have some special counters too that conflict and then its all up too load order I believe which counters are used, I've never tried WA myself.

good job bro! Works with world ablaze, albeit not perfectly

@GL56 It should still be working, but I've not had time to test it myself. I'm working all weekend but I'll get it updated next week. PDX has probably once again hardcoded in some new counters that will look odd in the new Scandinavian trees. Please tell me if you found any that stick out(like skii-troops using armoured counter etc, or worse, a vanilla non nato counter!

New DLC Dropped, please update.

This mod is the last hope for standalone high-quality NATO Symbols.

@Limyx826 its short for garrison. @butrus-yusef-83 I'll look into it when I do my next pass.
Limyx826 Nov 13, 2022 @ 2:42am 
What does GAR meant?
Butrus-Yusef-83 Oct 27, 2022 @ 12:57am 
Could we get the counters with the Division Icon (XX) in different colours? Great work
God-princess Celestia Oct 19, 2022 @ 12:29pm 
nice:)

Should be in today's update if everything turned out right. I had to reorder them a little so there might be some templates in existing saves that need there counters re-applied(only inverted and below).
Fredholm Oct 18, 2022 @ 1:02pm 
Great work, they look gorgeous. Any chance of having black ones for SS and red ones for Guards divisions added?
God-princess Celestia Oct 17, 2022 @ 8:31am 
@xiziz
Wonderful:)

This is good enough, Perhaps adding the medium tank could be good as well.
(if "space" for more custom counters exist that is, or instead of light if space is premium).

Coloured Mech and mountain would be appreciated. Guards mountain divisions did exists iirc.
xiziz  [author] Oct 17, 2022 @ 2:58am 
@God-proncess Celestia I added some coloured ones, let me know if there is any specific one you feel is missing, added garrison, infantry, motorized and armoured for now.
God-princess Celestia Oct 7, 2022 @ 1:10pm 
Hey!
Great work!
As a suggestion. one thing i really liked for immersion with the MPU edition was colored nato symbols, so you could choose beige for UK, red as soviet and darker as germany (or for elite units)
Is something like this doable?
captain403 Oct 7, 2022 @ 5:23am 
Theatre icons don't really have to be nato. Just '1st-to-x' for armies (make them colourable), and 'A-to-Z' for army groups. You could add some directionals (north, south, etc) for the army groups.
xiziz  [author] Oct 7, 2022 @ 4:48am 
@captain403 Thanks, I'll have to look into it, I'm not sure its as easy as just replacing graphics, especially since the theater ones are square instead of rectangular and I don't think NATO counters would look good as squares.
captain403 Oct 6, 2022 @ 1:37pm 
Great mod. Getting the AI to use the right ones is something no-one else has been able to do, so excellent work.

Any chance of theatre icons being added?
xiziz  [author] Oct 4, 2022 @ 11:07am 
@zez;- Yeah I thought so too so I made it a high priority to fix them so I could start playing the new expansion. I managed to get to march 36 without the counters. xD
zez;- Oct 4, 2022 @ 7:25am 
Thanks for the update. Game is almost unplayable without proper counters.
xiziz  [author] Oct 4, 2022 @ 1:05am 
Thanks Nowhereman! I'm testing it out right now, so hopefully the rework will be up in a little bit, managed to scrape the art-time together last night to draw them all up. :)
Nowhereman Oct 3, 2022 @ 7:34am 
Thanks for the update and double thanks for the militia counters. Tried a different NATO counter mod a few days ago that had been 'updated' for BBA but the Italian irregular units were using heavy armor symbols. Looking forward to your rework.
xiziz  [author] Oct 3, 2022 @ 3:51am 
Updated for BBA, properly this time(with new counters for the new militia units). Give me a heads up if you spot any AI using weird icons, PDX can have bound more templates to icons in the patch.

I'm currently reworking all the icons, they will look crisper this time around thanks to a new dds conversions script.
zez;- Nov 29, 2021 @ 11:14am 
Thanks, that was my main issue anyway. It really is sad how Paradox didn't ship (or update) the game with proper NATO counters.
xiziz  [author] Nov 29, 2021 @ 10:57am 
@Zez;- Yeah, coming up when I have the time to do so, mainly to get rid of the annoying exclamation mark, got a few requests I might slot in too. Its still working fine though, nothing broken. :)
zez;- Nov 29, 2021 @ 8:56am 
Any chance of an update?
xiziz  [author] Mar 13, 2020 @ 12:17pm 
@ixilthicilix Thats weird, because it is most definatley in the mod package and when I download it it does come with. Try unsubbing, going into *\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\394360\2009333583 and removing any content still there and then resubbing (thats where the mod files are downloaded too).
ixilthicilix Mar 13, 2020 @ 7:09am 
It's telling me that I can't install because the mod is missing the descriptor file.
xiziz  [author] Mar 10, 2020 @ 2:18pm 
@GS_Langkeit thanks, I will add some when I get some time :)
PzFaust Mar 8, 2020 @ 10:24pm 
Here are the best resorce for icons:

I would love to see the assault infantry icon....
xiziz  [author] Mar 2, 2020 @ 4:54am 
@Alexander Added in todays update, thanks! @TexasJaeger added some artillery variants, you got any pictures of garrison/millita counters, I cant seem to find them. Based most of the ones I have done from wikipedia(excluding the coastal artillery one which is inspired from bice) Thanks for the suggestions!
Alexander Feb 29, 2020 @ 4:26pm 
would you mind adding a few inf with the vertical stripe on the left?
TexasJaeger Feb 29, 2020 @ 9:29am 
Thanks for the mod! All the other nato icon mods are currently broken. I would suggest adding icons for garrisons, militia, more artillery variations, and more historical nato templates. Wikipedia would be a good source for these. Thanks again!

Thank god , your my hero ! All the counters mods , are outdate ! :german:
