Default Re: Official Image Collection

I need BMPs, unfortunately.
Please have the minis and the portraits together in one zip. Add a credits.txt, so I know what to write. (Your name, sources if applicable)

As to your uploads, are you using a foreign language character set by any chance?
The upload you sent made a bunch of random character folders instead of a file.

Also, when you are working with mods (including graphics and text datafiles), be sure to place them in their own folder.
This prevents you from accidentally overwriting your unmodded files, and needing to reinstall the game.

What you should do is create a folder along the lines of
"C: \SE4\xcom-mod"
Create a "c: \se4\xcom-mod\pictures", "c: \se4\xcom-mod\data", etc inside of that folder.

This leaves your unmodded files intact.
In order to use the mod files, you merely have to change the value in path.txt from
"path := none"
to
"path := xcom-mod" (or whatever the modfolder's name is)

You can also use the modlauncher to automate that task.
