Just extract the file into the mods folder located at C:\Users\Jan\Documents\My Games\Gas Powered Games\Supreme Commander Forged Alliance\Mods
Its set that the spawn icon is the faction of player and the death icons is the eye.
You can change those two icons by adding your own icons to the icon folder and changing this bit of code (in Mods\Decals_UI\hook\lua\ui\game\gamemain.lua)

Code: Select all

ring:SetTexture('/Mods/Decals_UI/icons/'..factions[armyData.faction+1]..'.dds')
to ring:SetTexture('/Mods/Decals_UI/icons/myspawn.dds')

As you can see the icon file must be DDS. You can use this site http://www.aconvert.com/image/png-to-dds/ to convert png images to DDS (also has jpg to dds converter).
To change death icon change this bit of code

Code: Select all

death:SetTexture('/Mods/Decals_UI/icons/death.dds')
to death:SetTexture('/Mods/Decals_UI/icons/mydeathicon.dds')

EDIT: Only works for your ACU death. Currently cant find a way to get position of other acus.

Forgot to mention. This part manages the scale death:SetScale({18, 0,10.116}). So if you will use 500x500( or any AxA) images use death:SetScale({18, 0,18}) if not scale accordingly AxB death:SetScale({A*factor, 0,B*factor}) where factor is such number that makes max(A,B)*factor=18 . Not sure if i em the best at explaining.

IF you want the image to be bigger just make the 18 to 20 or more
