The a.p.e program

[ARIZNANA]

Today I was playing around with the a.p.e. program and recoloring an suv . It worked fine except that the icon does not show up in the games list Its just a black square but when you click on it , the item shows up as well as the description and it works , even the rotation . How do I get the icon to show up in the game item list .

Let me guess. You used apexp and you actually used the suv as a base. It is a developer item and they do not have icons. One bad thing about using them is that it will give the icons a different id from the suv. If you look in the objects folder there will probably be two folders with different numbers. One of those numbers will be the same on every suv loaded so will be a conflicting id. It is a complicated fix for someone who doesn't know their way around ape and zoot, .ani and .ucs files.

Also the ucs will be full of lines you do not want. Do you know how to edit that yet?

You can either get it to me to fix or use the original ape and use the ibex statue as a base since that is the same size.

You will need to decide a purchase price as developer items don't have a cost and you may not want it the same price as the statue.
