Artasan's Contour Icons

MOD:
This one allows you to quickly orientate through allies and enemy tank classes. Light tanks are colored in white, medium tanks - gray, heavy tanks - dark gray, destroyers - blue, artillery - red. This mod acts good with my damage panel xvm config.

How to install:
Drop archive to the game folder and extract it.

Screenshoots:

I like all your color choices except for the light/dark to represent medium and heavy tanks only because at times its a little difficult to differentiate between the two. Having either mediums or heavies being represented by yellow/gold would be great because then you have 5 distinct colors to seperate each tank class.

That's my reason for suggesting yellow for heavy rather than threat level so either heavy or medium being the different color would be cool. And I really like your icon pack precisely because its clean and simple rather than being too crazy like some mods I've seen. :)

As I always say, the simplest is the best and the standard icons to me seemed almost perfect, except for the faded colors, so I decided to alter them for myself. I was guided by the following logic: SPG's as representing most threat should be red, TD's to differ from the rest must be blue. Also i didn't want to overload the interface with colors because what decided to make rest in gradients of gray. Most weak should be in light color, hardest - in dark.

And where is logic of You'r suggestion? ) Just colorful icons pack? tons of them on internet..

But i thinking to make separate mod with yellow MT's, because they after getting tier X tanks representing more threat than heavys..

Just wanted to say thanks for this mod! It was EXACTLY what I was looking for because I'm always looking to see how much damn artillery I have to deal with each game. :D

Just one suggestion though. You were considering using yellow? How about yellow for heavy tanks instead?

Light - white Medium - dark gray Heavy - yellow SPG - red TD - blue

This is simple modification of contour icons, i'm automated it. Only thing what i do when new update comes - sorting icons by classes then run batch process in Photoshop =) So, i don't know how works highlighted/shaded icon color modifier in the game(probably this specified in one of millions xml's of the game..), and at all i'm not interested in this, because i'm know which tank im driving/spectrating at the moment. Maybe in further versions ill try to find and alter this setting.

P.S. Sorry for my English =)

is 8.0 working as intended? colors work well in team lists, but individula tank icons are shades of green for friendly and shades of red for enemy. Exception: friendly arty is red.

I spent some time in paint.net altering for brighter colors and trying to find colors that remained consistant in BATTLE (not the list - individual tanks) friendly -> enemy...black and red worked. Every other color I tried (and I tried quite a few) displayed one color for friendly and one color for enemy.

Hmmm? I saved the icon as "auto detect" and as "32 bit" in Paint.net.
