post or email your work to me, I can take a look at it. Also, look in the MUST SEE SEIV SITEs thread (Sticky at the top of this forum) and look for a link to the Ship Set Tutorial. It might provide some info.

Not really knowning exactly what it is your problem is, I can only speculate.

Most often when people make new ships, they do not correctly name them as SJ has mentioned.

Also when people make additional ships for the game, they do not include them in the vehiclesize.txt. file, or do so incorrectly. Say for example you want to have 3 differant imgages for Escort. Commonly, you would have 3 differant Escort entries in the vehiclesize.txt with each using a differant Bitmap image.

Example
Primary Bitmap Name := Escort (Ship 1)
Primary Bitmap Name := EscortB (Ship 2)
Primary Bitmap Name := EscortC (Ship 3)

Now the two new images would have to have both the Portrait and the Mini named accordingly. RaceName_Portrait_EscortB - RaceName_Mini_EscortB.

Portrait images are as SJ said, 128x128, and Mini's are 36x36.

Now I have never added additional ships to the game, so take what I say with a little caution.

However, I have made over 20 ship sets, and as long as they are correctly named, they have all shown up where they are expected to be.

Best of luck.
