MapIconBuilder is simple application which has 2 tasks:

• puts any "subicons" to uniticons.
• combines various mapicons to produce final mapicons from chassis, weapon etc

Generating mapicons to buildicons

• It works according to text file which contains: file to modify, list of icons to add, their target size and optional recolorization.
• Text file can be generated using SpringModEdit procedure "icons" -> run it and paste result to file.
• It's meant as temporary solution until spring SVN with improved lua access to menu textures.

Generating mapicons from mapicon components

• Takes icons from subfolders and then combines them into final icons, using combined names
• example: make folder "movetype" with tank.png and hover.png and folder "gun" with big.png and small.png. Combiner will make tankbig.png, tanksmall.png, hoverbig.png, hoversmall.png with combined icons. Any number of subfolders can be used.
