Arrow Re: icon mods

Well, let me see.

You need the ".shp editor". There is a copy provided with the game in the "Graphics" file, found under "Game Data". TCW - Camo Workshop - provided a better version on the forum too, somewhere. You will also need some form of icon editing programme. MS Paint suffices.

Go into MOBHack (in "MOBHack" file) and look in the West Germany OOB. Find the Jaguars. Look at the icon numbers at the bottom to the left of the icon itself (you will see a picture of the icon on the screen in the bottom right hand corner). Note the number. Go into the "WINSPMBT_MasterIconList" - a notepad file on my PC - ("Game Data" under "Design") and type the number of the icon into the text box under "Find" (Edit -> Find...). Once you have found what you are looking for on the list you should then look for the ".Shp file" the icon is contained in. In the case of the Jaguar ATGM this would be Icon0001.shp at slots 72 & 73 .

Download the two icons - hull and turret - and then edit them. A step by step guide as to how to do this is on the forum too somewhere.

Have fun producing your very own icon mod .
