Hi -

I have been trying to create my own icons for spmbt. I know how to use PSP and SHPED, but I just can't get my icons to look as beautiful as the ones in the game. Is there a icon drawing guide that I can use? Or can someone point me to the graphics designer for the game, because I have a lot of questions, specifically how to determine scale. My email is mkr8683@yahoo.com - thanks!

Hi -

What I really wanted to know is how best to make the icons look real, like the ones in the game. I know how to use SHPED. How does one determine scale for the icons?

Land vehicle ( tanks etc ) scale is 1 pixel = 6 inches

Aircraft scale is flexable as only one aircraft is on screen at a time
