Ok, I have two questions.

First, I want to insert some custom pictures as research icons. I know they have to be .tga format but what I need to know is where you put these pictures and what you edit to get them in game (besides having the Research Subject point to it). Also does it have to be a specific resolution?

Secondly, for new patches to the game, how do you guys update your mod (aside from manually going in and changing everything again. I am assuming that there is a way.)

Any help given is very much appreciated!
