Adding on more avatars. |
I only got this game for two weeks now and its pretty dam good, I noticed there's a good deal of freedom in editing the settings however when selecting an avatar for your race I was disapointed that there was no way to include other materials other then the avatars already provided. Is there a mod in the works or one already that enables you to include more images into the avatar gallery for flags or races?
Thanks for reading.
Re: Adding on more avatars.
Well I managed to upload a flag on (though only half of it is showing, the race potraits are proving to me more awkward, I only added the pictures in the empire folder under each self made neutral folder but they haven't appered on the game. Do I have to include the other details such as the various text docs and a smaller potrait version in order to get a succseful upload or will it only accept a fixed number of race potraits?
Re: Adding on more avatars.
Why would there be a limit on the number of indexable shipset folders? This game wasn't made in 1992. 
You do need to include smaller portraits.. Probably need a Racename_Main.txt file with the appropriate settings to allow the portrait to be chosen by a player.
Re: Adding on more avatars.
There were few mod's with new empires/flags, just look for them here, i remember few Borg, Rebelion Empire mods, and mod containing new neutral empires.
I think you can simply get any portraits you nees from global mods.
As i know bigest collection was at pbw.cc, but it is only for people who play there.

Re: Adding on more avatars.
You can add whatever you like to the game.. Flags can go in Pictures\Flags directory, but race portraits are a bit more complicated. You have to create a new empire folder for each new race portrait. You can set them up as Neutral races to minimize the impact though. They all share the same shipset anyways.
