Problems with modding

Also check your spelling and make sure your race directory name matches the race name of the picture files. I have found that problem in a number of races I downloaded from other sites.

gosh, don't i feel like a complete moron!!!

thanks for the help, guys, it was a "typo"
the folder was named "xyz empire", the bmps were named "xyz_racial_portrait.bmp" etc. etc. etc.

No wonder it didn't work!
Computer-illiterate? Not ME!
ummmm... whats computer illiterate mean?

OK, now i've got another question. this is about board etiquette. Now that this topic thread has served it's purpose, do I need to delete it? CAN i even delete it? sorry, but i'm a pretty green greenhorn.

No you needn't delete it - in fact, you couldn't, and shouldn't, too:

Anyone with a similar problem could find it doing a little search .. would have helped if you had mentioned the actual problem in the header, but it's ok the way it is ..

Hope this helps ..
