@green bean I just checked you .sbc ..... If you keep the vanilla planetary lander your image will not show. Try naming it the same as the prefab
for example:
<Ship>
<Id>
<TypeId>RespawnShipDefinition</TypeId>
<SubtypeId>EggDropPod</SubtypeId>
</Id>
<DisplayName>EggDropPod</DisplayName>
<Icon>Textures\GUI\Icons\RespawnShips\EggDropPod.png</Icon>
<CooldownSeconds>900</CooldownSeconds>
<Prefab>EggDropPod</Prefab>

<MinimalAirDensity>0.8</MinimalAirDensity>
<PlanetDeployAltitude>2000</PlanetDeployAltitude>
<UseForPlanetsWithAtmosphere>true</UseForPlanetsWithAtmosphere>

<InitialLinearVelocity x="0" y="-95" z="0" />
<InitialAngularVelocity x="0" y="0.5" z="0" />
<HelpTextLocalizationId>RespawnScreeenHelpTextSpawn</HelpTextLocalizationId>
</Ship>

@green bean Did you change anything in the "RespawnShips.sbc" line "<Icon>Textures\GUI\Icons\RespawnShips\RespawnPlanetPod.png</Icon>"? If you haven't then it should show your image in the spawn menu.

@Stoyam Naming the folders "Textures\GUI\Icons\Respawnships" and the image "RespawnPlanetPod.png" just shows up as the default images...and naming the pics anything else just won't show the images. The images are 960 x 540 and PNG-type.

@The Erubian Warlord This blueprint uses a reactor with a few Uranium ingots inside. Alongside it's got a couple small batteries.

@Stoyam Oh, I see. I'll send an update with preview images at some point.

what power source does it use?

@green bean Sorry I didn't catch your comments on time.
You have to make a path inside the mod folder as "Textures\GUI\Icons\Respawnships" and put your image there.
Depending on how you structured the .sbc you may have to edit it with name of your image.

@Stoyam Also, did you change the image path inside the RespawnShips.sbc. If so, to what?
green bean  [author] Jun 21, 2021 @ 12:12pm 
@Stoyam Ah, I see. Where did you place the image inside the mod folder? Next to Data or inside it?
Stoyam Jun 21, 2021 @ 12:04pm 
@green bean Yeah the image is custom but I had to keep the vanilla name structure "RespawnPlanetPod.png"

@Stoyam Thank you! I'll take a look.
I assume you mean that you could get a custom image but had to name it the same as vanilla?

@green bean Here is a simple and working guide for respawn ship. I recently made a one using it, my only issue was the thumbnail for the respawn menu .... I had to use the default naming for the image.

Thanks, I'll ask around

Indeed, it's built to have the same features as the vanilla lander, but with a few extras.

Replacing the vanilla, though, is still a work in progress unfortunately.

I like this drop pod, has all the basic components needed for survival. Can't wait until you figure out how to mod it into the available respawn crafts.
