Help please - Infantry icons going invisible

[zerowithwings]

I didn't copy over the SPWAW shps as is. Rather, I extracted the bitmaps from the SPWAW shp and placed it into the new SHP in the same numerical order as in the SPWW2 shps, according to the instructions in the SHPedit help file. The order is, nothing in image 1, 1 man in image 2, 2 men in image 3 and so on. . . This works just fine with the grey icons (Germans/Icon0010.shp) and with the brown icons (Icon0020.shp) when used by Soviets, but not when used by other countries.

Try asking in the matrix SPWAW groups, as these are matrix game's infantry SHP files. Their designers may have done something or other in the SHP format that differs from ours. That may also be the best place to ask about any copyright issues involved in using the files in the first place...

First off are you aware SPWW2 uses 19 men as the max ?? Did you not notice that when you changed the SHP files? All sets should be done equally and you will find that your WAW Icons will not all fit in the space allowed ( and I am NOT encouraging anyone to use anything found in WaW in our games and vice versa. We do NOT support this in any way )

Where did you come up with the info that "The British and Soviets use the same tileset in SPWW2" ??? NO they most certainly do not. The British, or Canadians or Free French ( or USA or USMC or Polish or Hungary or Rumania or Greece or Norway or Netherlands ) use Icon0011 ( green infantry ) Russia uses Icon0012 ( brown infantry ). Maybe you should look at what you have done to Icon0011 instead.

Just a note, some of the WAW players already done that, meaning they made a mod of WAW and "borrowed" (or stole) SPWW2 graphics. But both games are not compatible as DRG has said.

I don't know why anyone would use the WAW graphics they actually suck, and the stolen ones are just that, ugly and copied/stolen.

just my thoughts.
