Making a new commodity icon 3db file
-
So I made a icon .tga file. I want to include it in a 3db file so I can use it. I tried importing the .tga into another icon-3db file and renaming it, but that didn’t work - the game didn’t display it (i used weapon_goods.ini to assign the icon to a commodity).
How do I go about doing this? Making a new 3db file or editing a already existing one to work?

Open existing by this.
I think you may, yes, to copy existing into new and import your pic in it. -
Use FLModelCloner http://the-starport.net/freelancer/download/singlefile.php?cid=5&lid=920 to create a new icon based on an existing one. Renaming the 3db won’t do it, since FL looks for the name of the mesh in the VMeshLibrary and the name of the material. They must be unique. Using FL Model Cloner this is very easy to achieve.
