Depending on the value given (0 to 4), the game will use a certain index in the OverlayTypes array, plus the following 11 entries.

in TS

• Image=0 and Image=1 will use OverlayType index #102.
• Image=2 will use OverlayType index #28 and will only use that one entry, it is hardcoded to use only one entry.
• Image=3 will use OverlayType index #127.
• Image=4 will use OverlayType index #150.

In YR

• Image=2 will use OverlayType index #27 and will only use that one entry, it is hardcoded to use only one entry.
• Image=3 will use OverlayType index #127.
• Image=4 will use OverlayType index #147.
• All other values will use OverlayType index #102.

Flag:	Image
File(s):	art(md).ini
Values:	Strings: Normal text. (Limited to: art(md).ini sections)
Default:	same as section name
Applicable to:	BuildingTypes, Animations
Warning:	There are 2 numbered subpages of this page. These pages should all be merged into this page.

When used in art(md).ini, this flag also refers to an art(md).ini section as well, but it only uses the referred section to derive a filename of the SHP file to use.

This flag does not work on InfantryTypes, VehicleTypes and AircraftTypes in art(md).ini sections. This is evident by looking at the following code snippets from unmodded artmd.ini:
