well, as always I appreciate any work you guys choose to do on the PP, I think it's the single greatest contribution to the Armada community anyone has made.

It's already possible.

In the gui .cfg files, there are lines about the cursors. They're in the generic gui files, but if you copy and paste them into race-specific gui files, change the sprite names, and make new sprites, then ta-da, it's there!

I can't give specific instructions as i'm about 10000 miles from my copy of a2, but if i remember i'll let you know. It's files like misc/gui_glob16x12.cfg and misc/gui_interface.cfg, i think.

yeah that works in part, just in the main area of the screen it uses the default sprite.

Well, I can't say you are wrong, I've spent a while trying to get it to work and could not, if someone else can do it they have my praise
