I`ve been busy with Rand and ED with making our own PICS for our race Icons and Race Pics.
also have been able to do still shot of the race pics for the Bink files.The Text does not go on the pic as most think it does the text has it`s own file too.Of course all this can or will change with Beta 5.

Here a few PICS.

Rands

Nastys


Eds


It was easy to do once I figure which files were involved,....Once Beta 5 gets here I`ll look to see if this will still work this way or if it will be easier to do it threw the game,

EDIT!
Well as Betas go things  change so this may not be Current.

 

Well Things DID change so I`ll need to figure it out again!

I like to thank stonehold and Ronnar for they`re Input on the other post.

Not complete! the the startupscreen  just before you go to your home world I can`t seem to get to change now.But the race Icon and the forward and Background pics and the texts. I got figure out. after doing what Ronnar  said to do leave out or hiding them  

<!--
<FactionMoviesFGDef>TerranMoviesFG</FactionMoviesFGDef>
<FactionMoviesBGDef>TerranMoviesBG</FactionMoviesBGDef>
--> it still won`t show up. so I`ll need to start form scratch and scan my files Try again.

 

Beta 5 change how it was done in Beta 4.

 

Hopefully I get it.

so this is my custom race ATM may change may not. I do need to work on my story for it tho.

 

PICS.

I don`t really like the small riker pic but for now I`ll have to use it i wanted a serious look there. 

And the start up screen tho the one causing all the trouble!!! As you can see it looks OK so Compromise and i`m using it. 

Diplomacy Screen yeah it`s the same one in the race set up screen.

The report Screen uses the same Screen as the Startup Screen.

 

As I learn more or do more i`ll update the race now it`s time to either find a creative writer or write something my self.
