Macedon or Macedonia (from Greek Μακεδονία) was the name of the ancient Greek kingdom in the northern-most part of ancient Greece. For a brief period it became the most powerful state in the ancient Near East after Alexander the Great conquered most of the known world, inaugurating the Hellenistic period of Greek history...
So SilentResident, from this, could we copy existing textures and edit them for use with factions we've created by renaming them to the name of the faction in the file descr_sm_factions? Would you happen to know where the coding is that assigns these textures to each faction? Sorry for the question. It was a very helpful tutorial and it explained to me what all of the different textures were used for!

This is helpful, but it doesn't show how to edit them. It only shows where they are.

You generally need photoshop or equivalent with the nvidia plug in which allow you to edit the DDS files. If there are any textures involved (can't remember) then you need to convert the textures to the DDS files using Alpacas tool.
There is currently a limit for some of the faction symbols used in the interface which alpaca and someone else is trying to resolve.

It wasn't the physical editing that I was corried about. I use GIMP (it's free and it's awsome). I was wondering about how the symbols were assigned to each faction. I've since had teh problem solved for me. You can see some of my screens my clicking on my signature.
