Custom Icons Help

Recommended Posts

I apologize if I posted this in the wrong board, but I figured my problem would get the most feedback here.

I am running Windows ME, and I attempt to download custom unit icons and graphics mods on sites like Otto's SC Page, but when I unzip the files into the appropriate folder, there is no change. I attempted to install custom unit icons and such on my friends system, which runs Windows XP, and when I pasted the files into the folder a message popped up: "Overwrite File(s)?". I clicked Yes, and the new files overwrote the new ones, and the new graphics worked. So, my question is, to install new icons do I need to manually delete the old ones, or am I just unable to have custom icons?

General: ****ING WINDOWS 98!! Get Bill Gates over here!

General: You told us Windows 98 was going to be faster and more efficient!

Bill Gates: It is faster, over 500-

*General shoots Bill Gates*

Jergen,

They are probably still in the file/folder. Use Explorer (windows) and open the folders to get the bmp files, then left click and hold to drag the opened bmp files to the Bitmap folder on the left side of Explorer's window under the SC program file. I'm assuming you already extracted the files. If you do this right the program will ask you if you want to overwrite the files, "Yes to all"
