SD Converter Fix

[tornnight]

The past few releases before 1.9.11 had .sd files generated by alpaca's SD converter utility. These files were causing CTDs, graphics corruption, and other odd issues.

It took me a while but this fix works for me.

Instead of putting the new interface graphics (faction icons) into a new tga file (modpage.tga), I put the graphics into stratpage_*.tga and sharedpage_*.tga files that are already part of MTW2 thus keeping it as 'vanilla' as possible.

Instead of modifying a
mod_page_desc.txt file, I changed the
shared_sd_desc.txt
strategy_sd_desc.txt
files. This basically maps the new icons into the vanilla interface tga files.

Note: Don't forget to modify the mouseover tgas for the new graphics or you won't be able to click them.

I've linked my implementation at

You need to download Alpaca's Sd Converter utility. The files I linked are the files I changed after downloading.
