How do you...?

Hi guys,
I'm using a heavily modified Pacean1 or whatever ship set, but when I was editing images, I found that there is no baseship image. It defaults to the starbases design. Where do you edit the command lines to specify a path? I've tried placing the image as portrait_Pacean1_Baseship.bmp, but no go.
Any ideas? Thanks.

PS: I was installing the planet set upgrade v.71 I believe. I've noticed that the Saturn and the Jupiter descriptions are backwards. When I looked at the sector labels, they start at image value="0" while all images in the directory start at "1".
To fix the problem, I just copied the description from one to the other in the sector type...

Thanks.
Steve

Try Pacean1_portrait_baseship.bmp. Change the bitmap name for the baseship in the vehicle file to from starbase to baseship. Should work.

By default, baseships use the starbase image anyway... there's a file somewhere to change it so that it uses its own file, but I'm pretty sure that it applies to all shipsets.

Will is correct, if you change the bitmap picture for the baseship in the vehicle file it will affect all the races. You could create a new hull type name for your base ship and just edit that one.
