component pictures

Submitted by mnmib1 on Sun, 2008-04-06 04:22. SE:V MODs

I am trying to create a new component for sev. I have modified the components.txt to point to component 309, it works fine except for the pictures. The component name shows in the list on the left for ship design, but the picture does not, nor does it show in the inventory slot even though I can place it (it's just a blank spot). If I right click on the blank space under the component name it will bring up the description with the picture in it. I have a 512x512 jpeg, 128x128 bmp, and a 42x42 bmp for the index. I also tried 36x36 because I read that might be the correct size in some forum somewhere. Can someone give me a clue as to what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.

I had same problem, you need to create pictures with 72 pixel/inch

I tried 72 but still have the same problem. Any suggestions?

You are placing the mini icon into the correct slot in Components.bmp, right?

I believe so. It should be the 16th row, 9th column correct.

O.K. Clearly I am not doing something correctly. I just used the stock sev pics for the bridge (comp_004) renumbered them and placed the small in the index. Still will not show the image on the design screen or slot layout, but will still show if I right click the empty spot where the image should be. I have made several new race images and have had no problem with this. I have tried Infranview, paint, and paint.net to do this with no joy.

Never mind. Right pictures, right sizes, right pixels, wrong picture file. I was using the main sev pictures/components file for the index. Am trying to kick my own butt now. Thanks for the help.
