Fyron, I am not beating around the bush. You said yourself, the first time I made a submission; "It is up to the modder what the images are used for". I was merely follow your protocol!
The exception being, any images I make for a peticular modder. I have run images by him/her to see if that is what they had in mind. If I were a modder (which I am not) I might use the images as a Radar Site, Listing Post, Shield Generator, Scanner, Shield boosting facility or a Shrine of some kind. OK?

See... I could not imagine a scenario in which you would make some images and have no basic purpose in mind. I just could not tell what that purpose was for those facilities.

The Facility Pack 9 file does not have minis past 252, but the Portraits go up to 267.

Oopsie. The patch had the correct files, but I missed copying the new minis to the full install zip.

Updated facilitypack9.zip file is now 3,054kb

Try turning on Best compression (or maximum) next time. I added the Facility pic to it myself, and got a file size of 2,817 kB.

I've got the sizes down a bit now.

BTW,
How many people would like to see a RARed Version of the files?

I posted another components addition a while ago, and it didn't make it into components 1.14. Here it is again.

3 thumbs up for RARs.

Have you herd of 7-ZIP. It producesses zip files that are much smaller than other zip programs, but they can still be read by any standard unzip.

The URL is: http://www.7-zip.org/

Its still in late beta but I have found the program very stable and have hand no problems with it.

WinRAR produces Zip files that are smaller than WinZip does. Most programs can make smaller Zip files than WinZip.

It also beats pkzip ZIPs and its native format 7z beats RAR but its not as standard as RAR so you would have to use a self-extrating EXE or no one could open it.

Anyway its just a though. Use it or not, doesn't matter to me.
