Custom Faction Icons

from Sins Forums
Can anyone find out how to insert a custom faction icon into the game? If you could that'd be sweet (of course mine would be the Imperial icon).

That would be awsome if you could add your own icons.

Just a matter of editing it into RaceLogos.tga in it in the textures folder. Though obviously that won't cut it when it comes time for multiplayer.

Well, as far a single player, how would I insert the imp icon (and what color what I need to make it).

Well, you will have to convert the picture/icon into a Targa file because from what kryo said it seems it has to be a Targa image. (which can be done with that "Picture It" program thing or pretty much anything else more complex than paint lol.)

(by the way Thrawn its me Tom! I wanted to think of the Advent-ish name so I just came up with this lol.)

Tis fairly simple, just open it up in Photoshop or whatever, replace the logo on both the normal and alpha channel things and then load the game.

Well I tried it (I made it a targa file and then put it in the Racelogos.tga (I made it small and then put it next to that glove thing) and now all the faction icons in the game are white squares...

OMG! Theres no eraser tool in Picture it... Do I need to uninstall SoaSE.

What is this alpha channel?

Also, I uninstalled and now I'm trying to reinstall to my removable hard drive (F: , where I had it installed before) and it says that there isn't enough space in C: to install it! I don't get it! I'll try again tomorrow cuz tonight is a school night.

That's basically the reason why there probably *won't* be a custom symbol option in multiplayer.
