How to add techs without the game crashing on you

1) Am I correct in assuming that this change is also present in Conquests?

2) Could someone write a tutorial on how to add such icons?

Scratch that. I managed to figue it out. But it still might be a nice addition to the library.

Is it possible to use the tech icons from the conquest maps (mesopotamia, rise of rome etc...) and place them into your mode?
Thanks

Yes, of course. The icon files are in tech chooser\Icons. Merely reference the icons in the PediaIcons text file.

I suspect this is more to do with my inexperience using Photoshop, but I can only find one icon when I know there should be more.

For instance, Im looking in the WWII Pacific Conquest and can only find the Allied Carrier Icon, when I know there should be F4s etc... How do I cylce through them all, if I can?

EDIT: Oops. Just found it in the main folder. So I could make my own ART/TECHCHOOSER/ICONS folder within my mod then?

Sorry to waste your times guys - I figured out that moving the icons and putting them into different folders was OK. Just need to practise making some new icons now!
