Not sure if the question belongs here. Does anyone know, or have a guess, what SHP even means? Is it an abbreviation of "shape"? "Ship" (for whatever reason)? An acronym for something else entirely? "Shooting Happy Pictures"?

I have debug builds of WW's games prior to TS, its called Shape, the tool that made them is called ShapeSet(of which we have TS/RA2 version in the infantry zip i got from a WW artist).

As bonus info, the TMPs in TD/RA are actually called Icon's Very Happy

However the tiles in TS/RA2 are called IsometricTile's or IsoTile's for short.

Technically its the individual cells that are called icons, the tile is called an icon set. Wink
