For a start its looks and not shape, find the image u want to use using a MIM and then subtract 1 from the item number and put that as the look in SQL voila that should work i've noticed that later on in the inventory file they dont follow this same pattern and u hav to do a bit of hit and miss

Actually it is shape, looks are for helmets only. thats why CHB's hidden stats are in the shape and cannot be used it any other weapon shape(character).

Shape column is used for numerous things in the sql database but where there is an external image on the character, as with a weapon then shape is the image number of the weapon in your weapon file in data folder (refer to my released work link in signature for more information).

If you are speaking of some item you are putting on your character and the character set-up window is a different image to your bag window then this is a different matter and is due to the image not being placed correctly in the equip.wil data file.

Ground, Equip, inventory, storeitem - the image should be in the same location in each file.....this is the looks number in sql.

weapons - refer to my guide as previously advised.

HTH :)

fastest way if u import more as 1 or 2 images is to work only with 3 files example
ground
equip
inventory

import all images that u need (ground and equip are special cause ground use smaller images for looking on the ground and equip doest use all images)

if u have all images imported take inventory.wil/wix and make a copy od if and rename it to storeitem.wil/wix

now u have all 4 but worked only with 3 and it works but is rly only faster if u import not only 1 or 2 img and ones more IT WORK ONLY WITH INVENTORY AND STOREITEMS cause that both are totaly the same

Inventory and storeitems are not interchangeable completely because in inventory weapons are large (multiple boxes), in stores they have to take up one small box or it looks silly. :)

Logically and in my experience it can't *shrugs* - are you sure the pixel size is the same in both images?

example: fan for bag/inventory 64x74 pixels, fan for storeitem 24x32 pixels.
