Is 10 not enough? If you want more you need to make a larger player_portrait_large - player_portrait_medium - player_portrait_small in the textures folder

There is 10 spots now but the playerPictures (in the Window folder) only call 8

How many do you want?

Window\PlayerPhase.playerPictures

TXT
pictureCount 8  <-- How many times to click before reset
LargeScreenPicture
    textureName "Player_Portrait_Large.dds"
    startTopLeft [0,444]  <--- Starts at 3rd row
    width 195  <--- Width of pic
    height 219  <--- Length of pic
    rowItemCount 8  <--- How many pics for this race
    horizontalStride 198 <--- Space to next picture in row
    verticalStride 222 <--- Space to jump to next row

Lets say I change the pictureCount 8 to pictureCount 16. Now there is only 8 pics in the row (rowItemCount 8).

This will do a verticalStride 222 jump to the next row on the 9th pic. If I set verticalStride 222 to verticalStride 0, it will repeat the same row.

no 10 would be plenty, but your post is most helpfull ( now i actualy know where the hell i have to look to tell the game, hey! i have more pictures then just the default ones! :)!

ps. why, if you have it unmodded ( the targa/ dds files ) does it only ever show 6, while it calls 8 ?
( i just noticed myself i have to jump 2 black squares, otherwise known as 2 spots to be used to bring the total picture limit to 8 )
