| | - Overwrite the //mod_MODNAME_PlayerLogos.xml// in the ///media/mods/MODNAME/scripts/// folder. |
| | - Add the new .DDS files to either mod_MODNAME_MiscArtwork.zip, mod_MODNAME_ComponentImages.zip, or mod_MODNAME_VehicleArtwork.zip. The default zip file ismod_MODNAME_MiscArtwork.zip, if it exists. If none of these zip files exist in the mod, you will have to modify the mod by using the [[ModTools:make_a_mod_editor|Mod Data Editor]]. |

| | == Creating A New Mod == |
| | |
| | If you are creating a new mod, then you just need to save the //PlayerLogos.xml// into a location you remember, and add all the new artwork into one zip (including any other artwork you may need from other editors). |
| | |
| | You will then select these items when using the [[ModTools:make_a_mod_editor|Mod Data Editor]]. |
| | |
| | When you export the finished mod, all files that you checked off in the [[ModTools:make_a_mod_editor|Mod Data Editor]] will be moved to the exported folder and properly renamed. |
