Well...I tried your suggestion Ballbarian and it let Dom 3 load up, but when I go to mod preferences, it does the crashes I listed in first post.
If I do as Gandalf suggested and delete the icon line altogether, everything runs fine but no cool banner to go with.
If what Ballbarian suggested using for the icon line does not work, what else is there to do to get the banner for the mod to show?
Would it help if I post the mod and then maybe more experienced modders can look it over and possibly see something I am not noticing?
