DCS features a massive range of aircraft and land vehicles, and not all of them make their role(s) clear just from the name alone. What this commit does is add an "information" button (and resultant window) to the recruitment section. This should allow new players to understand what each unit is/does. Current state - every aircraft has a country of origin and an introduction date for that variant. Some also have a small placeholder description, taken from ED's store page for that aircraft. There is also a placeholder picture (taken from a rejected image from my own personal photography) that will, in time, show a banner image of each unit. Todo - add appropriate screenshots for each aircraft's banner, replace the placeholder text for each aircraft (this will take a while...) and add more data points for each unit type, such as a unit role (i.e. "air-superiority fighter", "multirole fighter", etc) or perhaps a list of weapons carried. I also haven't made a start on the huge number of ground units yet.
In this folder are icons for the different units in DCS / DCS Liberation.
How were these retrieved :
- I took screenshoot of the units from the encyclopedia in DCS. If you want to add more pictures, please do the same, so that the units have the same background.
- Then resized all the image so that have static size. Aspect ratio is not perfect, but it's hard to notice on such small image.
import os
from PIL import Image
for img_name in os.listdir("."):
if os.path.isfile(img_name) and img_name.endswith(".png"):
print(img_name)
img = Image.open(img_name)
img = img.resize((64,24), Image.ANTIALIAS)
img.save('./out/' + img_name[:-4] + "_24.jpg")
You need PIL to run the script :
pip install PIL
If you want access to get my high res screenshoot, i still have them, but to reduce size and ram usage, i believe it's better to use super small jpg icons instead.
