Hey guys.
First off, this is my first post. So, awesome job Megamek developement dudes.
Well, I've always been atracted to the idea of customization in my games, the better the cusomization, the better I like the game. This is the reason I can still play Mechwarrior 4 (My first mech game). Since then I was introduced to the wizkids dial thingies, they were alright, but didn't have quite the feel I liked. Then I played the good old battletech war game, wow, was that a load of fun. Sometime after that I found Megamek.
Then I found the MekLab.....oh happy days.
But, I got sick of all my units having the default Icon, so I learnt how to make my own Icons.
And here lies my question.
These are not varients of canon mechs, these are completely my own.
One is called "Odys" the other "Tork", both are Heavy.
If I make an Icon and give the icon the name of either of the mechs above, the ingame icon remain the default-heavy.
If I change the default-heavy, they both change in apperance, yet they are completely defferent mechs.
Sorry for my fantastic spelling.
How do I make an Icon to go with an ORIGINAL mech.
