Not specifically, you could upload it here or in the OOB modification forums. I'll even put a sticky on it here for all to see, if you want. Alot of repaired icons, lbm got posted in the OOB forum though initially.

D,
I can incorporate it into the Ter61 files if you'd like. I've had a couple setbacks with that project: a hard drive failure last weekend followed by some medical problems. I should be able to devote more time to it in a few days.

Hi Tracer.
Well what I was asking is if there was a loc/site/ftp where people like us who do icon's can go and share or trade icons with others at matrix. Also if matrix needed a icon for its work they could go there and see if one is already made and use it.
My bunker icon is in icon017 file with the other bunker Icons, that is due to it having a pzk III turret on top and had to add it to the .exe file so the game would allow the turret to move.
Thanks anyway.

Don,
I'd really like to see that; I've read that the Soviets and Japanese did that quite often, burying the hulls of immobilized tanks or attaching the turrets to fixed fortifications.

What I was referring to was what I brought up here. I received alot of messages from folks who designed new terrain icons and structures then realized there was no easy way to get them into everybody's SPWAW installation.

Harry had brought up the idea of packing the Ter61 files into a downloadable 'installer' to simplify things...maybe yours could somehow be piggy-backed into it (?).

Hi Tracer
If you want to use the bunker you would have to use my modified mech.exe or use fred's spilc/splie to make your own. otherwise it will not work right. I will try to post it here.;)

If that joke about avatar was pointed at me, it's just an expression of the mood I'm in.:D
