Minor race images (again)

June 11, 2003 12:50 AM from

Hi.
I know a few people mentioned this in previous posts but they neither mentioned the "how to" or "where to go to get"
I want to change the standard minor race images - they look like flags or somesuch - with something, well, with personality I guess. If anyone can help I shall sing praises and deliver accolades.

Cheers,
Stofsk

Thank you orangebear for the advice. It helps to know how the many facets of the game work, and what I can do to "tweak" it to my satisfaction. This is not to suggest the game isn't fine to begin with - it's just good to know that there are ways to customise it.

Duglis, or Doug, my email is [email protected] if you can send over your pack there, I'd be ever grateful.

Cheers,
Stofsk
