Default Re: Modding question - component bitmap

Components.bmp- you can put anything pretty much anywhere. It will change the existing components unless you overwrite a non-used picture or use blank space though. You can add more space on the bottom if need be.

Text files: you can put stuff anywhere really. Where it shows up in the list is where it shows up in-game, and changing the order can be quite useful sometimes. If you want old savegames to work, you MUST put the new components/ships/whatever on the bottom.

Some components- only new colony components IIRC- work best when put on the top. That's because of SE4 auto-assigning colony techs at the begining of the game.
