3db icons?

Can someone please explain how to add new 3db icons, and how i could edit these etc.

I tried using the UTF program, but couldnt get it to work

are there any other programs or any tutorials on how to use the above program in explaining how to create Icons.....any help would be grateful.

hey dude,

open an existing icon in utf and export the pic so you get the size etc right then just import your version of the pic into it and save.
there seems to be an issue with the same icon being used twice as the vmesh data is the same ( which seems to confuse the game somewhat).

im not sure if replacing the pic changes it for every instance of the icon - changing the name doesnt help apparently as the game looks for the abovementioned vmesh stuff.

however there are enough unused icons (hull panels, armour upgrades etc) that unless your mod is huge you shouldnt have that problem - wish id known about those when i started making icons ;-(
