I have two questions about some of my creations:
1. do I need to include my animals/ objects in a zoopidia entrie or can I add something in my game without it haveing a zoopidia?
2. I've gotton about everything in the game to work exsept the icon, do I use the codename from the nif when I used a hex editor or do I use the original codename?
P.S. I figured out how to code a lot more better without much help. :lol:

It should work without a zoopedia, but most people consider that a bug and some sites dont allow downloads without zoopedias ;)

The icon should use the original codename.
Check out my site where you can get many of my downloads here.

Hmm, its strange but every time I dont recolor an icon, it works just fine, but, when I recolor it, the icon turns white. Im kinda stuck here. *umm*

EDIT~ Thanks Sorko, that was the kind information that I needed to know. No more white icons! :lol:

When on Dxtbmp, did you save the icon as DDS DXT3? If you saved it as DXT1 or any other format it will turn white.
Also check the main xml if you have the right path to the icon.

Anything with an alpha, may it be an animal's skin shd be saved as DDS DXT3,

BUT I STRONGLY recommend ALL skins to be saved as DDS DXT3 format. Coz only then the quality of Ur skin will not be reduced...
