The 'extra' units in Play The World

[BakNBlack]

Okay, so here I am, trying to add some new stuff for my own personal-use MOD. Play The World comes with lots more nifty extra unit animations and stuff built into it, but the problem is the little 'icon' thing in the editor is way too small to see what the heck that unit is supposed to be...

So is there someplace I can get a list of what the icons correspond to by number? 93 and 94 appear to be two-man machine gun teams, for instance, but is there a difference between the two? I can make out a few of the units, there are a bunch of guys with guns, the leader units, 139-150 is dinosaurs... 154 is the Me-262, 155 is the P-38, and then there are some tanks. But that is all I can figure out.

Well, if you can't properly see the stuff then do the following:

Open the Play the World folder
Go to Art, then Units, and scroll down the bottom. You should see a file called "units32.pcx"
Click on it, and you see all the unit icons. If you want to get a better look, just use the zoom button.

not everybody has a program to view pcx files.

There are quite a few free ones that can do it for you.

The free demo of PaintShop Pro will work fine for this.

you know, just put the info in the pedialicons and the game will read it from the folder, regardless of graphics.
