Title: Icon.tbl
Post by: Black Wolf on March 04, 2002, 05:46:13 am

I've created some briefing icons for the iceni, and I want to use them in FS2. So I went in, made them (They're exactly like the [v] ones, 4 frames for fadeicon and 2 for normal, and I used a [v] icon for highlight), and put their entry in icons.tbl.

; ICON_ICENI
$Name:   iceni            ; regular
$Name:   icenifade            ; fade anim
$Name:   iconhighlight06         ; highlight anim

$Name:   iceni            ; regular
$Name:   icenifade            ; fade anim
$Name:   iconhighlight06         ; highlight anim

$Name:   iceni            ; regular
$Name:   icenifade            ; fade anim
$Name:   iconhighlight06         ; highlight anim

However, when I go into FRED, I go to try and use them, but as soon as I click "Make Icon" on the briefing editor, I get an invalid page fault. Any ideas?

Well, I think your icon.tbl has too many entries.  It can only support a certain number of entries or kilobytes.

I was looking a bit into icons.tbl a while ago and found out some stuff about the file. The game does not like it if you add new entries to the file; you have to replace existing ones for them to work properly. There are some useless entries in there though (such as the freighters without cargo), so you can try removing those for your own icons.

Hey, I use the Freighters (no cargo) icon all the time! What if you want to show some freighters coming in to capture enemy cargo?

I suggest you use the Support Ship icon.

I got it to work by replacing Cruiser (as cruiser is identical to largeship). Thnaks guys!
