ill tae this one, as i had LOTS of trouble working out what did what.

if your dealing wiht a item (that most people are!) then to make the BMicon appear in the corner of the screen the line of code to turn on and off is.


incase you dont know the boolean is 0 for off, 1 for on

What PJB said

Also make sure that you have the BMs placed in the correct folder of your GOB/GOO file ([root]/UI/BM) I think is the directory hierarchy, off the top of my head...).

Oh - just another thought - make sure (if they're custom BM icons that you name them appropriately in accordance to how the naming conventions work with items in the "items.dat" file; I think it's something like "ic<<next 5 digits of BM name here>>". The naming structure is detailed in the actual "items.dat" file, so you don't have to worry if you didn't understand what I just wrote - just follow their example

Hope this helps

hmm.. i was working on such project (displaing symbol code on screen), but i ever done it. I .. dont know how to display BM ..

The miners of Kiith Somtaaw sacificed much, and risked all. For their efforts they were brought into the inner most circle of Hiigaren power. Naabal, S'jet, and Sobanii bowed before them. And from that day to this, Somtaaw's children have been known to one and all as Beastslayers..

problem with using it as an inventory item is i have another icon set for the inventory item, and all the item COG is supposed to do is display the BM when activated. no worries though, i'll figure something out.
