Thumbnails in the mods folder not working

from GalCiv2 Forums
I've only tried this with new hulls that I've created.
If I make a custom thumnail for a new hull of mine and place it in the thumbnail folder for my mod, the game will not load it and will create it's own thumbnail from the model itself.

Now, if I place that same thumbnail in the main thumbnail folder for the game itself, it will use it then. It will not however look in the thumbnail folder for the mod itself.

It is a known issue. Hopefully it will be fixed in 1.3.

I don't think this one was ever fixed, I just tried to do the same thing and decided to search the forum for the answer, its still not working and i'm in 1.4x

That's odd, as it was fixed (I tested it myself back when Cari did it). Unless there's a very specific case you're encountering where it isn't. Is there a particular type of component or something you're modding that isn't getting the thumbnail?

trying for weapons - i think it was fixed, i am looking into it, but I remember Rasori's UFDM and I think they worked in that.

i don't think it would be just one type of component and not another sense they are all in the same file, but maybe? I think its just me

Okay, not sure why, but everything worked when I switched it over to S99_ instead of S0_ , S1_ , S2, S3, etc. none of those worked, but S99_ did
