Thank you for your informative response. I did as you instructed and it works and looks great. This is such a help, as I don't like the 3d icons and this allows me to better see enemy units that are upgraded as such. As you probably have noticed, sometimes you can see the enemy unit, but don't have enough intel to see it's upgraded level (in the vanilla game). However; this requires starting the custom campaign game. My opponents don't actually know me, and sometimes there is very little communication beyond a "GL" at the beginning of the game (hoping chat boxes get bigger, but that's another issue). Anyway, I'm pretty sure there is no way to get them to start the correct campaign. If I start this one, and post it, I'm guessing it won't work for an anonymous player without the mod. Since I only play PBEM, this negates my ability to use the mod. Before you say, "sorry, that's life ", please consider that I was able to get the "fixed" file to work. After putting that file in the main game (yes I backed up originals), I can click on 3d icons and even games in progress PBEM show the new Russian icons (I haven't checked that they change as I upgrade). Could I just copy over the bitmap files I need to play this way? That should be a win-win for me, and the opponent could be using vanilla,and it would not matter. Thanx again for the response and great mod!
