New ICON BMPS

Thanks, you'll be credited of course. I also took the liberty of adding the cover for the cargo area from my icon to yours to create more of an effect like seen here.

This was the result:

Here's an ATC with Helo Pad as seen here.

Hi,

Here's a new PBR Mk. 2 Icon, as seen here.



The PBR Mk. II was normally armed with twin M2 .50 Cal HMG in a forward turret, a single M2 .50 Cal HMG pintle mounted aft, and either one Mk 18 40mm AGL and one M60 7.62mm MMG or two M60 7.62mm MMG amidships.

I've redone the CCB Icon again - I had forgoten to add the communications shelter aft of the 40mm turret.

Here is the corrected image.

These are looking really good.

I mean - which programme do you guys use to create these icons and what are the parameters (size, etc)? Sorry for that question, has probably been asked many times - I might have overlooked it.

Which program to use is up to you, I personally rely on bad ole MS Paint ( ) for icons.

First thing to do to keep the game standard is to open SHPed, save a bitmap copy of the palette (load WinSPMBT_Palette.pal, click "display palette" then "save collage") so you know which colors are supposed to be used.
Then open some other ingame icons for inspiration in visual standards (slopes, lighting, colors, shading...) and the background color.
Oh, and the scale is 6 inches (152.6mm) per pixel for vehicles and 3 inches per pixel for infantry and artillery.
