Load the replays via an option in the skirmish mode.

Dunno on the insignia yet.

Make a 64x64 .tga and put them in the Banners and Badges folders.

While I haven't done it so far my guess would be 'skirmish', 'load game', 'recorded game'.
Sorry if that isn't it.

.tga? Never heard that one before... *Wants the Microsoft symbol for my army.*

1. You're sick.

2. Oh please. .tga has been around only practically forever. I'll grant you that it isn't all that widely used, but it certainly isn't anything recent (no offense intended, but I'm flabbergasted by how someone who is even moderately into computers can't know tga...)

1.) [Sarge] I used to fight for the Microsoft forces back in my youth. [/Sarge]
2.) I'm familiar with file types that I've needed to use before. That isn't one of them.

Step 1
Make your image and select the part of it you want to be transparent using the magic wand. Then use Selections > Modify > Expand a couple of pixels to make sure you get all of the empty space, then hit Selections > Invert.

Step 2
You should now have selected everything solid (i.e. non-transparent) that you want to include. Click Selections > Save to Alpha Channel.

Step 3
Resize the image to 64 by 64 pixels. Then, use save as to save the image as a 24-bit, uncompressed TGA. (Make sure those options are checked in the save-as dialog box.)

If I ever start playing again, I'm going to grab the old Intel Inside logo for my armies. I mean, come on, powered armor with Intel Inside scrawled on it? That's awesome

IIRC, Relic always uses it for symbols they put in games, the pause icon in Homeworld was a TGA. It may be because it can have transparency, at least the way it was transparent itself.

But of course. I don't think many can represent genuine chaos better than Kefka.
