Is the icon that a specific force power uses in the cog? Becuase I am trying to change a force power, but I don't know how to change the Icon that it uses to the force absorb icon.

PS, Does anyone know where some good sword sounds are?

The icon name comes from the items.dat file. Say you have a force power called 'resurrection' in items.dat. The icon would be called icresur8.bm and icresur16.bm. (Someone correct me if that's not quite right.) JK then uses either the 256 color icon (ends in 8) if your not in 16-bit mode, and the 16-bit icon (ends in 16) if you're running jk in 16-bit mode.

If gravity is a crule mistress, and bar tenders with bad grammar are untrustworthy, what is air?

I think JK looks at items.dat and automatically "makes" the name of the file that it should look for. It's the editor's responsibility to provide that file (with the corresponding name, of course).

Dogsrool is right, there's no way to change the name of the bm that JK will look for.
