PNG Custom Images Not Displaying Correctly

I have tried everything I can think of

from GalCiv3 Forums

Hey guys, I have searched the Forums for answers, and found a few topics on this but nothing that clarified things for me. I have tried to add a custom race .png images but despite using the right dimensions (16x9 inch for FGs and BGs and 128x128 pix for Portraits) and placed them in the directories given by the Create New Race screen... my images load correctly when I am creating the new race, but after saving it or restarting the game, they get distorted, or won't display the BG I selected, or the Portrait image will get distorted... I use GIMP and would very much appreciate any ideas on what I'm doing wrong.

Can you share the images in question so we can help you out?

I guess the image size for FGs, BGs should match the screen resolution you're using  - I play in 1920*1080, so I made custom leader pics in that size and put them into mymods folders. They show correctly.

Hard to say from here what else could be wrong. Are the file names correct (ending with .png)?

I design and rework many races and have found that if I use the following dimensions every thing works out well.

FG - 1920x1080

BG - 1920x1080

portrait - 250x250

logo - 128x128

people use other sizes, but I have never had a problem with these. :grin:
