*.3db ship icon problem *SORTED*

I have imported my *.tga into my *.3db for the ship icons, where in the ship file can I find the name that the ship creator gave the ships icon, so that Freelancer ‘knows which Icon to point at’

Thanks in advance

hey LV38_Eagle,

the icon pointer for each package is in DATA/EQUIPMENT/ goods.ini under the ship hull.

for example (if memory serves - its bin a while since i looked at this stuff) this is the relevant section for the anubis;

nickname = oe_hull
category = shiphull
ship = or_elite
price = 1000
ids_name = 12019
item_icon = Equipment\models\commodities\nn_icons\or_fighter.3db


remember not to use the same original icon files to make all your ship icons as this confuses the engine as they have individual id numbers.there is a complicated way round this but i always just chose a new icon from all the ones that arent used ingame for each new ship i was making ;-)

hope this helps,

Excellent, I thought I may have seen them somewhere. There was me preparing to take the models apart with milkshape to find out.

Thanks Dr.
