Adding a Fourth Race profile picture

from Sins Forums

Okay, I have been working with adding a fourth race to the game, the only hitch I have come across (and it is a very minor one at that) is that I can't seem to get the fourth race's pictures to show up in the fourth slot

Picture Shows full meaning.

The Profile picture works In-Game, and all the Button Small Medium Window Large files are there

The Player_Portrait_Large.dds file has already been altered to have the races pictures, this is NOT a problem of not finding the picture, I just cant get the UI screen to show more than 3 races.


Here is code from PlayerSetupContentWindow.window

The blue line is the one I added, assuming it would autodetect and draw a fourth picture, I assumed the racePictureArea function drew information from racePriorities in Player<RACE>.entity. My New Race has lowest priority of selectable species, but 1 above pirates, so it is the last race you cycle to

Random -> TEC -> Advent -> Vasari -> NEW

picturePreviewWindow
    area [230, 75, 500 , 640]
    backdrop "PlayerSetupPicturePreviewWindowBackdrop"
    overlay "PlayerSetupPicturePreviewWindowOverlay"
    racePictureArea-0 [60, 58, 195 , 219]
    racePictureArea-1 [294, 58, 195 , 219]
    racePictureArea-2 [60, 367, 195 , 219]
    racePictureArea-3 [294, 367, 195, 219]


However this appears to not be the case, and I have searched for over 2 hours for a file that pulls imagemap data from Player_Portrait_Large.dds and can't find one ANYWHERE, I thought it would be in a brush file, but have checked them all =/.


Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I would like to see this work, I have several questions about this and the way it was coded. Do you have msn ?  Also what sins are you running? Did you update the manifests?

thanks jtaylorpcs

I don't have MSN, I have ICQ, 164076397 you can PM me on here as well.


Yes Manifests are updated, if I change race priorities, it shows the races picture where I put them, but only 3 total

example

right now priorities are

PIRATE - NEW - PHASE - PSI- TECH

So, the Player Setup displays Tech Psi and Phase in that order

if I change priorities to

PIRATE - PHASE - PSI - TECH - NEW

the Player Setup displays New in the top left, Tech in Top Right, Psi in Bottom Left and a Blank on Bottom Right still.... so then Phase is left out =/


EDIT :: I am running most recent version

Diplomacy 1.011 I believe...
