Can anyone please tell me where to find the file (presumably a tga file) that contains the icon for the Noise Meter? (The U-boat-shaped meter between the top three-quarters of the screen and the bottom quarter, that changes colour when the U-boat is detected.)

For many years now, I have wished to convert the purpose of this icon to a weather indicator (different colours for different visibilities). I have finally succeeded in hard-code, but it remains confusing when the Noise Meter changes colour, especially to red. The player thinks immediately that the U-boat has been located!

Therefore, I wish to change the style of the Noise Meter, from a U-boat shape to some other simple shape (perhaps a simple stretched cloud).

Thanks for any help - or, better still, to anyone who has the skills to make the cloud shape.

Stiebler.
