Question

[TLBTLBTLB]

I dont know if im posting this in the right forum, if not, Sorry. I have a question for the modders out there. Im working on a mod that has custom armors and weapons. I made custom icons and placed them where every other mod I have seen, places them (Data\Textures\Menus\Icons folder). I was also looking though the unpacked Oblivion BSA files, and noticed that Bethesda placed their icons for armors and weapons in the menus50 and menus80 folders also. Those folders have different size icons and menus80 has one where it would take some cutting and pasting in gimp to make.

 

Questions: Do the icons need to be in the menus50 and menus80 folders also? And what is the purpose for this, where would these other icons show up in game?

 

The reason I ask is because I have downloaded other mods that only put them in the menus folder and they seem to work fine. On the other hand, I know that custom quest and faction icons DO need to be in these other folders (right size and placement) because they show up in your stats and quest menus. So these questions are for armor and weapon icons only. Im sure Bethesda put them there for a reason----- or not so sure I guess.

You only need them in the "menus" folder. The other folders are for lower-resolution icons, which are not necessary for the mod to work.

Thanks herosinger. But what about the quest and faction icons? Am I correct about those?

I honestly don't know the answer to that one.
