Open your Start menu, open Programs and The Babylon Project, open Documentation and open Briefing icon chart. Voilá!

I suggest you download Descent Manager Freespace Kit (http://www.descent-network.com/cgi-bin/descmankit.cgi?kit=fskit).
Download DLL pak as well. (http://www.descent-network.com/cgi-bin/download.cgi?file=/descman/shared/dllpak.w32/dp2003.exe&desc=Descent_Manager_DLLPAK32_(V2.0_Beta_03)&size=3456)


Hmh, another thing to add to the readme.

On the subject of briefing icons, while I was testing one of the single missions, I ckicked on one of the icons to bring up the ship pof, but I was met with a CTD. The error message said that unknownship.pof couldn't be found.  Either the TBP team has that model but forgot to include it in the pack, or its another file from the original FS2 VPs that need to be retained (and yes, I know that its just that spinning "?" thing).  Also, my copy of VPview refuses to open the main TBP-core VP.  I may have to use an editor.

Later!

It's a missing original pof there TP. I'm mystified as to why your core VP won't open in VPView as it works fine for me. Are you using VPView 1.3 or the newer beta version (2.0 IIRC) cause I used 1.3.

I noticed this a few hours before releasing the base, I wasn't too fussed about it since mission designers are supposed to use the ones listed in the briefing icon chart.
