Creating a whole world...

[TomChizek]

To preface my questions some background, I am attempting to create a series of scenarios based around the John Ringo “Legacy of the Aldenata” series (also know as the Posleen or Fleet Strike series). The premise of the books is an alien invasion of Earth in the early 2000’s. Because of this I am creating a whole new “nation” to represent the invaders, along with weapons, units and formations. Not a huge problem so far, just some basic OOB editing…however when I get to wanting to add pictures and unit display icons I am running into problems. The pictures appear to be in “LBM” files that are not displayable (let alone editable) in any problem I currently have – does anyone know of a program that will allow editing/creation of these files? Also where are the on board icons kept and can I add a new set to represent the aliens?

Thanks!
Tom.
