questions about RA2 modding

Shadow Hunter

Yeah, i'm here again, and i have two questions:

1-I put a yuri airpad i'm red alert but he's not appear in final alert, soo is because a wrong code or because i don't have a yuri aircraft?

2-How i can convert a pcx file to a cameo (shp)? (have some files that have the icon as pcx format)

1- Check again. It may be called MISSING, if you didn't put in a UIName, or put one not declared in the csf file. It may even be under another structure, if you used an existing ones UIName=

2- First get your SHP Builder ,open it and select the Ra2 (or TS) unittem.pal,
then use import image, and select the image for your cameo, and save as XXicon.shp (XXuico.shp for veteren unit), where XX is the unit's ID in art.ini. If you need to resize it or put the text, use the shp builder's cameomaker tool.

If you didn't do so already...
Go to your art.ini (artmd.ini for YR) and in your unit's section put
Cameo=XXicon
(your cameo)

EDIT: Oh you could just use the XCC mixers converting feature
