Ship Icons

alright this is not a post asking HOW i make new ship icons...it is asking what the hell is wrong with the ones i am using. I added 2 ships into my mod the other day, which came with their own icons. Now when i went to the shipyard to buy them, every single ship had the smae icon. The two ships were available to buy, plus the eagle i think. The eagle had its own icon, my ship - the starflier - and the two NEW ships all had the same icon...which was one of the new icons. So what i am wondering is how do i make it so that they all have their own seperate icons.

I have checked he DATA/EQUIPMENT?good.ini and made sure that the packages/hulls of the two new ships were right, ie that they both referred to their own seperate icons, and it all chacks out. Other than that i cant think of wha else it could be...?

Would it be something to do with my SDK?????

This is what you did i think... you just replaced an existing ship icon and replaced the material... also renamed the file.

This is a common mistake...

There are two solutions with this...
1. Use the commodity icon files that. The only downside is there is a chance that somebody uses your same icon file (the inside).

2. Use the CRC calculator. This will ensure that you use unique ids for your ship... check out the tut on this one on ship icons. This one will absolutely work.
