Im currently attempting to figure out what needs to be done so I can have custom icons for ships and buildings. Ive searched through the weebly and wasnt able to find any info on this subject.

Tomorrow, my vector artist will begin making these icons so I also need to know if they just need to be one small tga texture for each one, with the areas I dont want to be seen painted in black in the alpha channel or is theres more to this?

Cheers, but I dont see how thats the same principle as this http://www.moddb.com/mods/dawn-of-victory/images/tactical-view-corvette-screen#imagebox (Which is they type of icons Im going for) - Infact, to me they look like a rather different kettles of fish all together, speaking subjectively of course - I could be totally wrong.

WindowBlinds - Free yourself of the default settings, customize your desktop.

I can help you understand how to do what DOV has or with making ship silhouettes. That tutorial works good when you want to maintain the shape of the transparent area like with buttons or the player pictures. Just hit me on messenger some time I'll and I'll explain the process a bit more.
