Hello.
For some reason the replacement icons I stuck in the "w" folder keeps being overwritten by bethesda's bleeding bsa files, in game and in the cs (even when I manually select the file). It does however show in mswedit, if only because it can't read bsas. I even tried redating my files to the year 3000 (three o o o ?) but it certainly didn't help. Someone please tell me what is going on here.

Are your icons in tga format? if so then they will be overwritten - you need to use dds converter to convert them to dds format and then they will display correctly

You're a peach that did it. Now I'm not the smartest girl in the house but I did manage to try that before, thing is, it didn't show up in the CS so I just binned it!
