Problem with sur file..

Hi guys, just wondering, I`ve been having trouble with a ships sur file and wasn`t sure if it was just me or if its the ships`original.
The problem is with the Pheonix from the predator series( the one with the raptor, predator, pheonix). The others work ok, but the last one dosen`t work. The shield sur is ok but you don`t get any hull damage.
Where do you actually set the location of the sur file anyway? is it in the .cmp? I`ve not had too much to do with the ship creating side of it yet, i`m just working on the other stuff right now.
Cheers if you can help in any way..

You don't have to add anything to the CMP file, just make sure there is a sur file in the same directory as the ship with the same name. i.e. Phoenix.sur in the same dir as Phoenix.cmp.

Thanks, thats an unbelievably simple solution. I can`t believe that I was going to remove all of their loadouts and redo the whole faction just for that.
It does mean though, that the predator ship "Pheonix" in the rebalance340 does not have a sur fie that works. It was called pheonix_fighter.sur instead.
Cheers for you help anyway..
