StarBase--- BaseShip

When naming this unit in Gold, which name is used? I read the article on the CD, but it seems to have been written before Gold or 1.67.

Primary Bitmap is used first, if there is no primary, it goes to the second one (the one underneath the first bitmap entry.

Huh?

Are you talking AI Modding?- I'm not ready for that, yet. I'm just trying to name this vessel for a shipset.

The way it works is as follows:

In game when you go to design a ship the game looks for the picture, in the datafiles it looks under the vehiclesize.txt for the ship.

Entries:
Primary Bitmap Name - It will look for this image first

Alternate Bitmap Name - it will look for this image next

In default SEIV it will look for baseship first, then starbase.

Do I understand it correctly: If the game can't find either the primary or secondary bitmap it will go over to the Pictures\RaceGeneric folder and use the generic image instead?
