Well you are becoming a one stop shop for WW2 extras what with your Hotkeys Sounds etc, thanks.
Nice to see you included a screen shot with yours great idea star on CS tank its the main reason I want alternate halftrack icons so gun versions hopefully stand out a bit more. Plus one hopes they might look nicer.

I just found a site I haven't seen before.

Mark Sheppard has a lot of Icon mods on his site, and a couple of nice maps, by a few different people.

The icons could be used in SPWW2, SPMBT, or SPWaW,

There are over 80 Panther icons!

First how do you convert the bmp's to shp and second how do you know what shp number they are?

Thanks.

If anyone has a load of these already in shp format I'd be most obliged if you could put them up for download somewhere.

Thanks

Hey Wodin,

This link may help you with converting BMPs to SHPs:

It also tells you where to find an icon map within the game:
WinSPWW2\Game Data\Design
The map isn't comprehensive, but it's a good place to start.

I think some of the links in earlier posts of this thread do provide SHP files, but check to see that they are newer than the SHP file you are replacing, as you may have a mod that's older than an official update of that actiual file.

I posted SHPs for my infantry mod here:

Hope this helps.
