Advanced strategic icons mod
-
If I had to guess, what probably happened is that they changed the name/designation of some of the units in the FAF Develop branch so that the Strategic Icons mod doesn't know what to replace anymore. The ASI mod works by replacing the icons already in the game simply by having the same name as the icons that already exist and it overwrites them. But if the FAF team changes the name of the already existing icons/units, the ASI mod won't work. Which means all you have to do is go into the files and see what they changed the unit names to.

Your link doesn't work because you didn't provide access.

@Jip Correct me if I'm wrong, but the develop changes include support for custom strategic icons in mods right? So using an installer like this wont be necessary anymore, people will be able to make their own strategic icon mods and upload them to the vault.
-
If I recall properly then yes - but I do not know by heart which PR made that possible.
-
It was the change to the init file that allowed mods to load custom textures.

I really needed this too to play FAF on a 4k monitor at full resolution and I think I fixed it. It took me longer than I'd like to admit, but here it is: I copied all the icons from advanced strategic icons (large version) and made it into a mod. Hope it works for you. I called the mod Advanced Strategic Icons XL. It should be under UI mods, but it's the first mod I uploaded, so maybe I messed something up.

Hello guys
I'm trying to play FAF on Linux and I'd like to install these icons too
As far as I understood after installation a fileAdvanced strategic icons.nxtshould come up in folderC:/ProgramData/FAForever/gamedata/Can anybody provide me with this file?
I think I know where I should put it
-
It is best to download the Brewlan UI mods (small / large / classic). They work as intended, assuming that you enabled them.
-
If you use medium set on higher res i can send you what I'm working on which is a overhaul of asi, but I've not yet finished to upload as a mod yet. Otherwise for small use brewlan as suggested.
-
@jip I don't know why, but Brewian UI mod doesn't work
I'm okay with any strategic icons except default one
-
@macdeffy let's try
my email: [email protected] -
Are you playing via featured mods? Those do not support the custom icon approach (yet).
-
@jip I added the mods through FAF client, but it doesn't work
Do you know how I should do it to make it work?
-
@rubbern Maybe close and open FAF? or make sure another UI mod isn't applied to your icons

How to download this mod? The link from the old forum does not work. The google drive link doesn't work either, sorry: the file has been placed in the trash. Where to download the file?

ASI stopped working with FAF. Still works with the naked Steam version.
Anyway, looks like the Redux icons you can get in the mod vault is a good replacement, as it highlights strat launchers and defs the same way.
-
ASI still worked for me as of the 2023 2.0 version of FAF, but with the latest version, it goes right back to the default icons. Anyone know of a way to make it work for the most recent client version? I really like the whole design, but especially the way the mex icons look.
