Tutorial: Adding a new faction symbol

[alpaca]

Just got everything ingame and it worked like a charm, though it looks like the 2 .sd files might need to be in the main ui folder and not a mod switch ui folder. Hopefully this will be fixed with the fix of file paths in 1.2.

A mod folder works fine for me. I made the screen with a mod-folder version.
It might be that you need a version of these files in the normal data folder, too, though - you could try copying the vanilla files into it and then try it with a mod folder. That's pretty much my setup (I have the unpacked files in the vanilla data folder)

Yeah it appears you do need a version of these files in the vanilla folder as well as the mod folder, just in the mod folder doesn't work.

Whenever I try to convert the file, I get this error:

"struct.error: unpack requires a string argument of length 1"

any ideas?

Please quote the full program output (including the Reading ... and Writing ... statements), otherwise I can't really look into it. Sounds like a file ended preliminary.

@Lusted: Ok, I'll put it into the tutorial.

Any help would be great!

Hmm strange, could you upload your modpage.tga and modpage_strat.txt somewhere (or attach them here) so that I can try to reproduce this?

I posted them at the original thread at TW Center http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showp...12&postcount=3.

For some reason, they won't let me post attachments at the Guild.
