I have been searching for a decent tutorial on this for days now and haven't been able to find a decent one. All I'm wanting to know is how to get my own icon images to work in one of my new units. I have no idea what folder to stick my icons in or if there are any special codes besides replacing the SelectImage and ButtonImage codes with my icon names. Can someone please help me out some.

You need to read up on working with Art folder and Asset Builder =)
Then place the codes in something like this: E:\SEE\data\ini\mappedimages\aptimages
Sorry, I don't have time to explain further than that, but I beleive there should be a great tutorial on T3A main page.
Anyone got the link?...

I looked at T3A already but couldn't find anything on icons. I tried putting the icons in C:\KingdomsMod\Art\Icons and then ran the asset builder but it didn't work. I also tried asking at a few forums but no one seems to know how to do icons really. I'll keep looking but I don't think there is much on it out there.

Icons, as for all 2d art, goes in C:\KingdomsMod\art\compiledtextures\xx (xx = the first two letters in the name of your texture).

Then code it in data\ini\mappedimages\aptimages\heroselecticons.ini or buildingradialbuttons.ini for unit portraits unitportraits.ini.

Hope this helps!
