How to include planetary improvements?

from GalCiv2 Forums
I tried to inclued a planetary improvement in a tech for a mod. But when i build the planetary improvement, the icon wont appear on the map but will appear on the build menu... The problem is that the path for the icon is the same for both the map and the build menu icon in the modding section of planetary improvements.

Ex:

Anyone has a clue on how to do this right so the icon show on both the map and the build menu???

Did you specify both <S_IconName> and <S_QueryGraphicName>?

yea i did and i did put the files in the right folder and i did put the right name for the S_IconName and the S_Query... There's no problem with the query, just with the iconname that wont show up on the map but just on the build menu.

Just guessing here, but try putting a copy of the image in the base Gfx\Improvements\icons folder as well and see if that clears it up (modders have come across several instances before where the game doesn't read some things from the mods folder like it should).

Yes tks it does work if you put the png in the original gfx/improvements/icons folder. Thou it's a shame it doesnt work in the mod folder... I guess i'll just have to live with it. And if the developers could actually fix it in the next patch it would be cool to.
