Done! It's been uploaded. Give them time to review it and it should be available in the library soon. If I do any more customs, I'll upload them also. I can think of a few...an Invader Zim would be fun...oooohhhh!

Feature request in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

How about adding a halo, or glowing ring of some sort around items that still have an available move left? Just make 1 halo, and have it jump from item to item as you assign them. When the quantity of ships and planets creeps up, it's hard to see who hasn't gone. The "next" button stays gray, but it's hard to distinguish who is left to move. Maybe make it as an option on some upcoming patch?

Maybe you haven't saved it in the right format? I use Photoshop, open up one of the race portraits or logos, and then paste a new one on top of that (Just to make it easy).

Custom Race portraits in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

It's really easy to create your own race portraits- simply open up your GFX/Races folder, and use the existing race portraits as a template. Paste a new portrait in, save it as a new .png file, and voila. I created a custom Borg portrait and logo. I imagine you could even paste your own mug in there and be your own evil dictator as well. If anybody wants the Borg ones I created, let me know where I can send them! Joy!
