I dont think we can do this,but is it possible to take units from other games and turn them into grps.
For example: you take the stealth bobmer from empire earth and turn it into a grp(lol i dont know who would attempt this)and be able to replace it with the wraiths grp.So when you build the wraith it will be a stealth bomber^^.

Depends. Is Empire Earth a 3D game?

Screenshots of the other graphic you want are necessary. Take screenshots of it facing the correct angles (facing straight up, then every ten degrees,) and make sure that you're using the right angle of elevation (60 degrees above the plane that the units move in, IIRC; if the original game is also isometric don't worry about this.) Once you've taken your 17 screenshots, cut the unit out of them and paste it into 17 .bmps, indexing it to the SC unit palette. Then compile them into a .grp.
If there's an easier way, I don't know what it is.

Yes EE is a 3d game.In the screenshots it will be tough,because this is an airplane which means it moves fast.If i can manage even getting 17 i dont know where the pallette is so im screwed lol.

Can't you just extract the models from the game and render 'em?

Yeah, but that's the hard way. Well, unless you have the software.
Then again, screenshotting them and cutting them out isn't near easy either.

You can get a picture of the unit you want in its folder.The folder has the "grps" in them.

Well, technically it might be easier to take units from another game. Because, rendering a 3D model, or just copying and pasting sprites doesn't neccasarily take artistic talent.
