Custom race image problem

Hi. I created a custom art to use for a custom race. I placed it in the Galciv 3 mod folder, but when I go to select a picture, i don't see it. Image is in PNG format. I have the Steam copy of the game. Where am I suppose to put the png file? And what size and format should it be? i have the small picture as 128x128, large one is 1000x1000. What am i doing wrong?

Thanks,

You have the size(128x128) right. The default folder location should look similar to below, but that is determined by your installation/game preferences I believe.

C:\Users\***\Documents\My Games\GalCiv3\Factions\Portraits The last folder is dependent on the class of image you are trying to add ie. portrait, foreground, background, or logo.

What are the dimension for custom race foreground and where should I save it. I created one with 1920x1080 and saved it in the C:\Users\UserName\Documents\My Games\GalCiv3\Factions\LeaderFGs location. Still it does not show up as a custom portrain on creating a new race.

Please Help.

I'm not sure what you are doing wrong. I just made a 1980x1080 png file and placed it my folders:

*user*\Documents\My Games\GalCiv3\Factions\LeaderFGs

*user*\Documents\My Games\GalCiv3\Factions\LeaderBGs

I placed the same image in both, since the FG and BG file uses the same dimensions.

I went in game, went to chose race, and selected "Picture" and it appears there.

Both "Logo" and "Small Portrait" should be 128x128 png files.

Edit: So just to be clear, there are 4 images. Race Logo (128x128 PNG), Small Portrait (128x128 PNG), Leader Foreground (1920x1080 PNG), and Leader Background (1920x1080 PNG).

I got portrait and logo to work. Played around with size and it seems that if I use 1980x1080, it doesn't work. But when I use something smaller like 1280x720, it works. Wonder what's wrong. But I can live with 720. It would probably work if i stick to the aspect ration and go a bit higher, its only with the 1980 that I'm having trouble with.

Thanks for the help anyways. I appreciate you taking the time to try and help me out.

Just a thought check the resolution setting on you game settings to see if its less than 1080, that may through it off but I'm just spit balling here.

Finally got it to work. It's weird, I just openEd the file in paint.net to make sure it was in PNG and then saved it again and it worked.
