*edit* please don't use all caps for subject headers - nothing is worth shouting about in these forums - unless it's FL2 of course

Freeworlds changed a lot of the feel of Freelancer's hud.

If, for example, you open UTF editor - then navigate to data\interface\hud - then open a file like contact_loot.3db , click on the little + icons to open the trees up.
Find texture library, click on it's sub node - which is the name.tga, and then onto the MIP0 node.#

Click "export", and literally you will be saving the icon as a tga image - so type in "name.tga" - the name of it's node remember?

I would expect you can edit the image (not tried this part admittedly) and then import it back as a tga - named exactly the same. There may be more to this, never really thought it was worth changing any of the icons because they.... well, fit so damned well anyways!

Is there a 3db importer? I have the 3d modeling skills of a 1976 VW bus

There are 3db importers, exporters, and editors on our website: =EOA= Players Consortium.

I didn't seeany 3db importers. I already had the 3db exporter dll and it works good, the models I made that didn't look like a pile of goo. lol
But I did see the webpage game launcher and that looks cool. Thanks for answering my post though.

when the fit hits the shan...
