Here a big problem encountered: we can't input new icons without replacing an used ones ! After a huge effort to make accurate bmp's and converted shp files I encounterd the situation above ! I wrote to many SPWAW designers and they tell me the same thing. It's a bad limitation of this great game.
What to do in such case ?
Maybthe new awaited release resolve this problem ?
Thank you.
Leo.

Umm...if the SPWaW designers tell you that the only way to enter new icons is to replace old ones...I'd assume they know what they are talking about and there is _no_ other way.

The forthcoming fix won't help as it's only new oob's and new map graphics. Afaik.

Leo,
Voriax is correct: the upcoming patches will only contain new OOBs and terrain graphics. What you may want to consider is [I]replacing[/I] an unused unit (like helicopters, jet aircraft) with the one you created.

When I have any questions about unit icons, Warhorse or Rockin Harry are the guys I would ask.

The icon slots are almost all used up now, concerning H2H...for the latest MG-squads I had to use helicopters and erase their rotor-icons to not get selfpropelled MGs :D
