I'm getting big red boxes.  I have the appropriate VPs in the appropriate places (BP VP is in blueplanet2 folder, MVP VP is in the mediavps folder).

Anyone else?

Are these from the optional extras thread? I didn't even try them because I was under the impression they were for the earlier releases/before the update. I do get some radar icons by default though without putting those VPs in.

Yeah they are.

I've gone back to just dots for now.

Even if the BP2 radar icons show up properly, they are far too big for the 2D radar.

Once I finish playing through War in Heaven (I don't want to spoil anything for myself), I'll make a radar-icon pack that uses Galemp's icons as well as a few more icons of the same style. For now, here's one for Age of Aquarius. Unzip it to your blueplanet (not blueplanet2) folder.

This reminds me...I made a 2D radar icon table (using existing graphics) for the AoA&WiH vessels a while back that I don't think I ever uploaded.  Here it is, updated for WiH R2.

Please provide feedback on the selections I made for various ship classes.  Thank you.

If you edit the bitmaps for the radar icons, you can use whatever size you want. The engine cares about the vertical resolution only when it figures out bitmap size on the radar, so what you have to do is buffer it with excess empty space to make the icons smaller. IIRC when I did that, I had to pick image dimensions that were powers of two, or else things didn't work properly.
