how do you get two different images in DA?

from GalCiv2 Forums
I found something interesting, when you use your own images for races in Dark Avatar, it streaches them to make the "trade image." (the wider version) I was wondering if you could use two different images like the normal races do.

If your race portrait file is named MyCustomRace.png, then all you should have to do is put files named like this to change the portraits for the trade screen and the United Planets so that it doesn't get squished:

MyCustomRace_Trade.png - default trade portrait, if you don't want to make separate images for angry, happy, neutral

MyCustomRace_Neutral.png

MyCustomRace_Angry.png

MyCustomRace_Happy.png

MyCustomRace_Small.png - used for United Planets

You can also use the bink tools from www.radgametools.com to turn a series of png files or a video into a .bik file and use that.
