Ship icons

I'm working on a little mod for personal use that makes the Eagle use the Wolfhound model. I'm almost done, but all that's left is the icon that appears in the ship dealers menu. It's still displaying the Eagle icon. Is there a way to make it use the Wolfhound icon instead? If there's a tutorial on this, can someone please link me to it?

Tutorial

FLModelCloner apparently does the job, look around.

basically you find the appearance of icons in:
DATA/EQUIPMENT/goods.ini

look for:
[Good
nickname = *_hull
...
item_icon = Equipment\models\commodities\nn_icons\cv_heavy.3db <-----

that was taken from the eagle,
you need modelcloner only if you made a custom icon and have crc conflict.

Try the .3DB exporter for Milkshape it lets you make brand new ones instead of having to re-hash the old ones.

Bejaymac is right, use the new 3db exporter works great for things like new icons. i myself used it for that and it worked fine.
