Default Re: Modifiying Proportions\' graphics.

What is the "graphic pack at spaceempires.net"? Is it the same as the Image Mod? If so, that mod actually doesn't change anything's appearance - it just combines the graphics from many mods (besides Proportions) into one, so that people can cut their download time and perhaps share some images between mods.

If you overwrite the graphics in Proportions mod, then the Proportions stuff will get replaced with other things, unless the mod was made with Proportions in mind.

If you want some more pictures for Proportions, though, you could try Dogscoff's Proportional Response Pack, which does add some ship images to some existing races.

Yes.

It also has a bunch of images that might not even be used by any mods.

Nope. You would have to change the numbers of the images used in the Proportions files to accomodate new positions for the images, were they to be added to the Image Mod. Doing so is quick and painless, but if it is done by anyone other than PvK in an official patch, it will mean that you can not play with other people using the mod, due to data file incompatibilities. You can of course create a copy of Proportions to make image file changes in.
