I am working on a ground target generation system, and would like to use the same Icons that are used for buildings and such in the mission editor.

Does anyone know where the images are located?

I don't know but there is a mod in user files that replaces them - take a look and it should show you the paths

I believe they're in core dcs (not saved games) MissionEditor and sub folders from there

Grimes,

Thanks, but that's not quite what I am looking for.

When I am in the mission editor, and I place a Static Hangar A, there is an Icon/image of the hangar that is shown in the mission editor. That's what I am looking for. Based on it's scalability, I assume it is some sort of vector file and not a static JPEG.

I am working on an external ground target editor, and although I have the basic grid system worked out. It's hard to place statics accurately because I have no representation of their size and shape.

Any ideas?

When it renders objects from top down it is using the actual .EDM (3d models and textures) for the object. There is no 2d rendered version of those available. So yeah its vector graphics because its a 3d asset but not in the sense you are thinking of. 

Suppose you can screenshot em and work from there. IMO place whichever object you care about at map 0,0 and figure out the offsets based on that. 

 

The right man in the wrong place makes all the difference in the world.

Grimes,

"Suppose you can screenshot em and work from there. "

That's exactly what I did. Thanks for the help.
