See headline. I tried to add 3 new army icons but they aren't showing up in game.

These are all the steps I already did:
  1. Edit the army_icon.dds file inside "gfx/interface/planetview" (i renamed it to evo_army_icon.dds but it won't work even if I use the vanilla name)
  2. Edited the icons.gfx file inside the "interface" folder and changed both the path (because the files name has changed) and the number of frames from 14 to 17.
I'm not sure if there are additional steps I forgot about but the vanilla icons are showing up in game just fine.

I tried to:
  1. leave the files with their vanilla name (army_icon.dds and icons.gfx)
  2. change the filenames (evo_army_icon.dds and evo_icons.gfx)
Can someone explain what I have to do to make this work?

EDIT: I couldn't find anything about this specific topic in the modding wiki so please don't just post links to it. That won't help me :)
 
Nevermind.. I've found the issue. The problem was the name of the icons.gfx. Files in the interface folder are overwritten after the LIOS (Last In, Only Served) system. So after I renamed my file from evo_icons.gfx to icons_evo.gfx it worked :)
