All right. I've gone back through the old threads but can't seem to find the one made by Saber Cherry discussing some pointers on how to best capture/modify icons in the game at this stage of the modding tools. If someone could point me to a link to that, I'd appreciate it.

That said, pulling up the BlackUnitView map is pretty darn helpful in terms of number crunching but pulling the sprites from the portraits there doesn't do me a ton of good. My main two concerns:

1) I'm not sure how to best go about re-sizing icons in Paint to meet the guidelines recommended by IW. I suppose I can just zoom and re-size until I've got something that looks about right but if someone has a better idea, I'm all ears.

2) The topic itself -- BlackUnitView gives the "at rest" sprite but I'm not sure how to go about actually getting the "action" sprite without basically sitting down and watching a battle replay with my PrtScr finger twitching at the ready.

Suggestions?
