[question] small icons for soldier types

[FriZY_SK 9]

Hello All,

can you please tell me where I can find white small icons of soldier types? I would like to use it for Respawn Screen for custom roles (Officer, TL, AT, MG, AR, radioman,medic,sniper,sapper,pilot).

 

btw: I dont undestand why BIS by default is using rank icons. ROLE should be like "Machinegunner" with correct icon of MG and LOADOUT like "MG 34" or "MG42"  for example. Rank icons makes no sense there for me.

_icon = getText (configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> typeOf player >> "icon");

Cheers

For a full list of icons Icaruk on the Biki has a good tip (at the bottom of the comments): https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/drawIcon

That's cool.  Is there a configFile command to dump that same icon list (similar to what @grumpyoldman posted above)?    Particularly, I'm interested in using the paw print icon you see on animals module in Editor, but use it as my dog marker icon in a mission.

Something like this maybe? 

_allVehiclesWithIcons = "getNumber (_x >> 'type') == 0 && getNumber (_x >> 'scope') >= 2 && getText (_x >> 'icon') != ''" configClasses (configFile >> "cfgVehicles");
_allVehiclesWithIcons = _allVehiclesWithIcons apply {getText (_x >> 'icon')};
_allVehiclesWithIcons = _allVehiclesWithIcons arrayIntersect _allVehiclesWithIcons;
copyToClipboard (_allVehiclesWithIcons joinString endl)

Which will dump to your clipboard:

...
iconAnimal
iconMan
...

BIS didnt create icons for each character/role which I would like to have .... MG or pilot is still only "iconMan" .... it is not suitable for rme

I used PBO Manager to extract PBO file. Works well but I have to find something useful

I didnt find suitable icons for all roles for me. So, I will probably download Unit Map Icon Set created by W0lle.

 

btw: Icons for roles should by placed in folder  \GUI\Cfg\RespawnRoles ...... but it contains only 3 icons. BIS doesnt finished it yet  :(

@FriZY_SK, using @HallyG's code pasted above I did see these man icons (you probably looked at this already, but just to be sure):

 

iconMan
iconVirtual
iconManMG
iconManLeader
iconManAT
iconManMedic
iconManEngineer
iconManExplosive
iconManOfficer
iconManVirtual

 

And @HallyG I want to thank you for this, as I now can use the animal Paw icon (iconAnimal) to put an icon on my dog so I don't lose his him in dense jungle.  Thanks man!

 Man I agree 100% Always wanted better icons such as Marksman and Sharpshooter etc.. I think Unsung has all new and much broader Icons but not sure. Would actually love dynamic Icons with more unit information as well as possibilty to show enhanced skillset etc but maybe Im just getting Hidden and Dangerous nostalgia.. Lemme know if you get those Wolle ones config'ed id love to check em out.
