Hi!

I was messing around a bit with the SHP editor looking through some of the available icons, and I noticed there are a huge number of unused SHPs. While most of them seem to be modern leftovers from SP2/3(?) I noticed a fair number of seemingly unused WW2 grahpics, especially aircraft. How can these be used? I'm not sure how the SHP files relate to the Icon #'s in the OOB editor. Is there any listing of where to find what icon in the SHP files?

Thanks!

There´s a list in the mech.exe (the Steel Panthers executable) addressing the shapes used in the game. The list can be changed, but no further icons can be added unfortunately. Check out Fred Chlandas SPILE and SPILC program for tinkering with new shapes in Steel Panthers.
