Default Re: Increase of the unit’s visibility

Are you serious ? Don't tell me you extract them manually... Oh my god, It takes hundreds of hours.
I used 2 little programs made by Fred Chandlas (the same as SHP edit) originnaly developped for Panzer General but they work fine for WinSPMBT and WinSPWW2 (simply don't forget to use the Camo_Workshop_Palette.pal file as a palette for these 2 programs).

shpsym for extracting all icons as BMP files
(You can download it here)

makshp for recombining all BMP files as an SHP files
(You can download it here)

If you need tips for using these 2 programs, you can ask me, it will be a pleasure to help you.

For automated drawing, i used the automatic programable tasks from Adobe Photoshop.

Now, if it can help you or another modders, here are all the 8 600+ original icons for WinSPMBT in BMP format in a RAR file :
(You can download it here)
(take care about the IDX files they are needed for recombining)

And here are all the 5 900+ original icons for WinSPWW2 in BMP format in a RAR file :
(You can download it here)
(take care about the IDX files they are needed for recombining)

Hope your dream come true...
