Good morning guys...

I am making some modification in this game for my personal fun and use...one of these modifications is:

I add all tanks in their respective factories to be buildable but when I did this all PLA tanks lost their SBPS Icon...( bacause you do not have mini image for these tanks) (pink square)

I found the solution using the Data / Commander ICON and paste this address inside SBPS icon Type 99 tank.... that make the icon appeared in the PLA tank factory... but when I did it this tank lost the DATA / symbols Icon....

that mean: now the Type 99 appear like pink square when you use the tactical map...

I know that you need 3 image types:

First= EBPS = data / vehicle
Second= SBPS = data / symbols
Third= ?? = data / portraits

in all three I used the same name adress Type99_tank

Somebody can help me and explain me what is happening please??? What am I doing wrong??

thank you guys...

In the SBPS, you enter in the directory of the vehicle icon, i.e., "vehicles/vehicle_PLA_Type99". The game then automatically looks for "symbols/vehicle_PLA_Type99_symbol" and "portaits/vehicle_PLA_Type99_portrait".

However:
  • It's a commander ability, so the vehicle icon doesn't exist (you need to create one, using the directory above if you want the existing symbol to work).
  • It's a vehicle, so a critical chart is used in lieu of a portrait.

thank you so much Mr I am spoon for the clarification... Now I understand what was happening...

I use the data Commander icon and made a copy of this icon and paste inside data vehicle icons, I change the name and add this in the SBPS file vehicle icon....with his respective name acoording with the vehicle

now, worked.... all vehicles and tanks has their own symbols icons in the battlefield.. thank you so much Mr I am spoon
