Old Unit Icons

RE: Old Unit Icons
Essentially it requires a mod.  As Mr Miller pointed out, too the main sticking point is going to be the new 100 size, although if you do find an old set, you cannot simply copy and paste, as when WDS re-worked these they renamed the old 50 and 100 size 2d graphics as 25 and 50 respectively (and the sizes [in pxels] of those files are different.

You can if you rename the file that you want to move over from 50 -to 25, and  from 100 to 50 - as those would be the same dimensions.

The newer native 2d super zoom in -called 100 - is essentially a doubling in size of the old '100 size file'... but you can't really just double the size of the file by expanding it - it will work, and I have done that but only when needing a new 'canvas' and then have to create stuff from scratch ... take that to mean I did one project where there was a new zoom in size but nothing to go by (unlike what the Civil War series would have).

In other series, there is programming in there to magnify and it would work if you took out that larger set, but that doesn't work in the Civil War Series (as I tried, and since it doesn't work, essentially I have to do up an entire set of graphics in that scale) ... personally I think JT's own coding idea was a better idea - keep the size dimensions for 50 and 100 the same, and just call the new size 200 ... but it is what it is.

Yeh ok I might own doing some work in the series (graphics mods) myself- so happened to be going through all of this recently -but that's another story ( and also the excuse for such a detailed answer).
