Make sure you read through this post here:

I also recommend you download the BMP collage for Icon0095.shp and Icon0096.shp (using ShpEd) so you can see all the vanilla objective flags and quickly identify which to replace and what their image # is within the shape file.

Here's PNGs of the MBT objective collages:





You can see that the individual images are 40x25 pixels. Most flags are 37x22 pixels with a 3 pixel shadow.

The roundels I made were mostly 25x25 pixels (no shadow) but some were 24x24 when the design required an even number of pixels.

You could start a thread over on the MBT mods section if you think you may need help, or post here if you want.
