Hi Jason:

I just had a question in regards to your response to another Member's question on replacing base icons. I've copied that message below for your review:

In regards to this type of issue, can anyone direct me to a download site for bases and objective emblems more along historical lines; IE Swastikas for Germans and Hammer and Sickle for the Red Army. I saw such a site years ago but cannot find it now.

Thanks for any help, Hammer732

Do NOT replace the Icons2d.bmp file as they are completely different than the old version!! The icons3d.bmp, icons4d.bmp and icons5d.bmp are fine to replace.

I've gone to the website and downloaded the icons for both the EFII game and the WF game. After unzipping the files I reviewed the icon bases and then compared them to what came with the ME CS as stock bases.

Now here's my question:

The downloaded bases also replace other icons like wrecks, planes, assaults and others. The stock icons also have those same features but they also have something new... "star shell explosions". The downloaded icons don't have those so if I copy over the stock ME icons does that mean I'll lose the "star shell explosions"? If so could those 2 star shell explosion icons be separated from the other grouped icons so we could change or add mods without losing the "star shell explosions"?

Thanks in advance for any response and I would also like to say that you are doing an outstanding job and service to all ME CS owners for everything you have done and continue to do!

Ah yes, the starshells are for the added night rules.

So if you replace them, you might have the functionality, but missing the graphics.

Give me some time, and I will update these graphics with the Starshells.
