Default Re: The Old SP camoworkshop Icons for sp2/3

IN \Game Data\Design you will find WINSPMBT_MasterIconList.txt .

If you use FIND with your text editor/reader and enter 'Leo' you will find quite a number of Leo 1A1's and 1424 is just one of them. When you do find 1424 you will see this

{8152, 8153}, //1424. Leopard 1A1/1A2----GRN

1424 is the code number for that Icon ( the One thousand, four hundred and twenty fourth Icon in the code ) 8152 indicates it's located in Icon0081.shp in spot 52 for the hull and 8153 indicates it's located in Icon0081.shp in spot 53 for the for the turret.

However, that is the way the GAME reads a SHP file. The short version of a long story is the game and SHPEdit read a SHP file in different ways and you need to ADD 2 to SHPedit to find that Icon

For example. 8152 in the 52 spot in the eighty first SHP file. If you look for that with SHPedit you need to enter 54 to find the hull and 55 to find the turret.

WHY you would want those old, somewhat inaccurate Icons is a mystery best left to you to understand. However, that's as far as I'm willing to go to help you sort that out. The new German stuff is spread over a great number of shp files and if the old ones HAD been worth keeping they would still be in use
