Shipset designing, Tips, Tricks, and Issues

[Suicide Junkie]

That's when I ran into this line in VehicleSizes.txt: "Vehicle TopDown Picture Index "
Since I had inserted my 42x42 pic into the beginning of the _Shipset.bmp I had to change this line for every single vehicle entry in the file.

Never add stuff to the beginning...
Add it to the end.

The fact that the vehiclesizes.txt will use an index of 20 for the escort, and 1 for the frigate makes absolutely no difference, and saves you a ton of hassle.

The soon-to-come neostandard should provide an ordered location for each of the new reccommended images in addition to names.
